Identity Management Maintenance

May 20-23rd, 2025

As part of ongoing efforts to improve user experience and enhance IT security, the Identity Management team will be migrating a key system to the cloud from May 20 to 23. There is no impact expected for existing university users, though new student and employee accounts assigned during this time will be created after this maintenance window. ISS and OIT are working with multiple departments and vendors campuswide to implement this migration quickly and effectively. Please contact the OIT Service Desk at 303-724-4357 if you encounter any issues.

  • Microsoft Teams Calling Project

    Apr 24, 2025
    The campus is transitioning from the current phone system (Cisco) to Microsoft Teams Calling. The cloud-based Microsoft Teams Calling will streamline communication for you, allowing you to make and receive calls directly within the Teams app from your computer, a mobile device, or a physical phone handset. This means you can stay connected and take important calls whether you're at your desk, hybrid or on the go.  OIT is excited to implement this change to meet the new business goals and needs of our evolving campus. Microsoft Teams Calling offers multiple communication modalities while passing on lower operating costs to the end user. Our team will be working with each department to discover your unique needs prior to any migration. We have split 180 departments and units into several groups, starting with a volunteer pilot group for rigorous testing prior to transitioning other departments or units. This phased approach allows OIT to work directly with each group and learn about each department and unit’s needs to ensure you are getting the best service.

    As part of ongoing efforts to improve and strengthen the university’s security posture by proactively addressing out of date technologies, the campus directory website was sunsetted on Thursday, April 10, 2025. For a new directory tool, our IdM modernization and improvement project has updated individual name search functionality within the university's Microsoft 365 suite. This offers a better user experience, more reliable data, and more appropriately meets IT security and compliance Standards. It is immediately available for directory use to university faculty, staff, students and researchers.

Where are All My Online Meeting Attendees?

Tasha Carlson May 9, 2022

Have you and your colleagues been experiencing some confusion around online meetings? Are you getting two online locations for one meeting invite?

Microsoft made a change at the end of last year to add a Teams meeting by default to any Outlook meeting invite created in the online web app or using the mobile client. The automatic addition of a Teams meeting for people who generally use Zoom meetings has understandably caused some confusion and frustration.

Based on feedback from many of you, OIT will disable this default setting on Wednesday, May 11, and Teams meetings will no longer be automatically added to Outlook invites. This change will not affect any existing meetings that you have scheduled. 

Do you still want to have a Teams meeting added to your invited automatically?
If so, please follow these steps:

Go to webmail.ucdenver.edu and login with your University Credentials

  1. On the toolbar, open Outlook Settings and select View all Outlook settings.
  2. Select, Calendar, and then choose Events and Invitations.
  3. Select the Add online meeting to all meetings checkbox.
  4. From the Choose a meeting provider list, select Microsoft Teams
  5. Choose Save

That’s it! Have any questions or need some support? Call the OIT Service Desk at 303-724-HELP. Additional resources for using Zoom and Microsoft Teams are available on the OIT website.
