Tips and best practices

  1. Only use a temporary UPN while you wait for a permanent one, for example, from a pupil's previous school.
  2. If a pupil is new to education, generate a permanent UPN, not a temporary one.
  3. To convert temporary UPNs for one or more pupils in bulk, see MIS: How do I convert temporary UPNs in bulk?
