The new production IM service is already in place and I would like to start migrating pilot users over to itis ready for use. The service is available for use at im.vt.edu. It is running on new hardware with the latest software releases and the Virginia Tech SSL certificate has been replaced with one issued by a commercial vendor in order to get around trust and incompatibility issues with some clients. Roster (a.k.a. buddy list), conference room membership, and conference room history information was copied from the pilot over to production last week so everything is relatively current. To access the service, all you need to do is change the login on your IM client from <pid>@im.iad.vt.edu to <pid>@im.vt.edu. You should get right in and see all your existing data from the pilot.
