If you use the OneDrive cloud service to store your data (e.g., from Word or OneNote), please check that all data is currently synchronized before the changeover. After the changeover synchronization problems may occur and data could be lost.

So, back up important data before the switchover if necessary.
If you use Bitlocker (hard disk encryption), back up the keys.

General FAQ

Please note the known impacts from the change.

Why will the account be adjusted?

The change is being made for IT security reasons and to make working with M365 more convenient.

In future, users will log in via the UHH login with their user ID.
This will also enable two-factor authentication to be used here from December onwards.

In the converted account, data from user management will be used to keep the profile up to date.
This eliminates the need for additional maintenance of the M365 account in the event of name changes or changes in the Outlook address book, or the additional use of the Microsoft Authenticator app.

Are there known impacts?

Yes, changing the account name/login name to the user ID means that some URLs/links can no longer be accessed correctly.

Many URLs are dynamic and cannot be accessed via the login name, but this does not work for some functions.
The login name or account name is stored here. These files can now not be found. This principle applies in many places in the cloud.
