alias or new account on domain change

[Keith Mack]

Our teachers are 2nd year with GAFE under umbrella of a local/regional
consortium. Accounts are tea...@consortium.k12.zz.us.

We just made change to add new domain to the consortium for our school and
in fall for 1st time students will be "stu...@zzsk8.org". We want to
transition all staff to also using email @zzsk8.org. Most teachers indicated
they did not want to have two accounts.

I know I can create alias for teacher by adding tea...@zzk8.org to current
acct. However this alias has limitations - one being teacher can't login
with alias.

Other option is to create new acct for teacher and then have teachers go to
Settings - Accounts and add their old account as an alias to the new one.
This seems the likely direction we'd go (~30 staff users).

Advice from anyone that has done this or any options that I'm not aware of?

Thanks,

Keith Mack
... and yes, I'm aware of complaining and hand holding that for most
teachers to add old account added to new ;-)

Have you tried renaming their primary account to use the new domain and then creating an alias with their old account?  I am not sure if you can do this in the cpanel, but I am almost certain that it can be done using GAM.
