Start Time: 8 p.m.
End Time: 11:59 p.m.
The following work is being completed: ITS enabled auto-expanding online archives for all WSU mailboxes with at least a Microsoft 365 A3 license. This change allows online archive storage to automatically grow in 100 GB increments up to 1.5 TB at no additional cost.
All affected groups: Users with at least an A3 license whose online archive storage exceeds the default 100 GB limit
All affected processes:
- Online archives of eligible WSU mailboxes with at least an A3 license are now configured to automatically expand as storage limits are reached.
- Online archives exceeding the 100 GB limit will automatically grow in 100 GB increments without manual intervention.
- Maximum storage capacity for online archives increases up to 1.5 TB through auto-expansion.
- No impact is expected for online archives that are not near the 100 GB limit.
- No impact is expected for primary mailbox storage limits.
Duration of impact: No service outage or disruption is expected as a result of this change.
Necessary follow-up steps: None
Additional information: Effective July 1, 2026, A5 licenses will become the standard Microsoft 365 license level at WSU and A3 licenses will be discontinued under the new Microsoft 365 A5 Enterprise Agreement.
