When managing core application there are two methods. Note that this process has changed since MigrationStudio 7.8 was released.

Overview


AdvantagesDisadvantages
  • Simple to setup
  • Simple to maintain
  • No ability to “turn off” core apps when viewing user’s applications or AAP and Readiness reports
  • Only one set of core apps can be configured, and this is linked to all uses


Configuration

1. To map the core applications to every user, click the ‘Admin Settings’ icon in the top right of the window.

 

2. Select Initial Setup from the left menu bar and click the Housekeeping Tasks tab.

3. In the Housekeeping Tasks panel, click the Core Apps Strategy drop-down menu and select Map to All Users.
