Hello and welcome to another On Demand Migration demonstration. In this video, we're going to focus on what the end user can do to use their new target account without having their administrator deploy the client update agent to their machine. The process is actually quite straightforward. You can start in your Outlook Client.
Here, we can see Megan's source email account is visible and usable. We see a message in the inbox saying, sign in to your new mailbox. This indicates that your target mailbox is ready to use going forward as your primary account. So we need to remove the old one and simply add your new one.
We do this by clicking File, then Account Settings, and Account Settings once again. When the Account Settings window appears, you'll see your source email account listed. If you select it and try to click Remove, it may ask you to pick a new location to store your Outlook Client data. This is nothing to worry about, and it's actually pretty easy.
If you click OK, and then select the Data Files tab next to the Email tab, you'll see the data storage location associated with your source email account. To add a new location to store it, you simply click Add, select an appropriate location on your computer, select an appropriate name, then click OK. Now you'll see that there is a secondary storage location for your Outlook data.
Now we can click on the Email tab, select your email account, and then remove it. When you click Remove, you'll get a prompt asking you if you're sure you want to continue. In this case, we'll click Yes. Now, the listings for email accounts is entirely blank, and all the content within your Outlook Client will be blank as well. This is completely normal because we removed the source account.
Now we just have to add your new target email address using your target email address and password. We do this by clicking File in the top left, and then clicking this Add Account button. Next, you'll see a couple of prompts. The first one is going to ask you for your new email address. This is the email address you're going to use going forward, the one for the new domain. Type that in and click Connect.
You may also get a prompt for your password as well. After entering that information, you'll get a screen that says the account was successfully added, and it gives you the option to add more, if you wish. But for now, we'll just click Done. And then in the left nav bar, you'll see your target email address is ready for use. Simply expand it in your inbox calendar, and everything else will be there and operational.
In this video, we taught you how to remove your old email account in a migration and to add your new one that you'll be using going forward. Since all data was migrated successfully from your source email to your target email, you can use this one in your daily routine. That concludes this video demonstration, and I thank you for watching. To learn more about Quest On Demand or to access a free trial, please visit us online.
