YouTube for Schools launched

[GREED]

Late to the party: it has taken them long enough to realise this is needed huh?

@AngryTechnician could you edit the OP with a link to my previous post for instructions on setting up ISA/TMG for this please?

[Theblacksheep]

couldnt they just use a subdomain?

No - the idea is you get a personalised portal, so staff can add videos they think are suitable. That's the key part here - youtube need to be able to identify a group of users. The http header is the best way, as URL mangling is a bit hit & miss.

So...is this (http://www.redline-software.com/pub/tkSetup.exe) a free tool? or a 40 day trial, like it says on the download page

Sophos says no

Thank you for your support request.
I am sorry the appliance does not support HTTP header modification.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

The toolkit part which is what i've linked to in my post with the details is free. They have quite a bit of software on that site, some which does require you to buy.

If it's worked typing youtube.com or www.youtube.com should automatically redirect people to www.youtube.com/education and not allow access to other access of the site.

hmm, in which case it didn't...

Do you need to put an access rule as the first entry?

Apologies for my apparent denseness...

I'm not certain but in my 101 attempts of various different settings what i've given is what worked, so it's possible you need to set your web access rule as the first selection in the conditions in order for it to work correctly.

Sophos says no

Did you explain why and was it a case of then aren't willing to look at it, or just a case of them not doing it right now?

[mrbios]

I've just noticed a mistake in my settings...this is annoying! If you look at my screenshot on the previous page all conditions below the policy condition are set to "OR" the second should have been "AND" but when i do this the policy stops working. So currently it's applying that header to all outgoing traffic and not specifically to youtube.com, this is most annoying, luckily it's causing no problems currently but still seems i have some work to do...

I've just been in touch with Bloxx and hope to have some instructions from them this week.

Ok i've just revised my list of conditions, website URL and website request don't appear to work but this does - see screenshot:

Not exactly ideal but it's the best i can come up with at the moment.

too bad...ISA server toolkit doesn't install on Forefront TMG 7 on Windows 2008 R2 Servicepack 1
The latest version (1.4) is from July 2009...somehow i doubt it'll be updated anytime soon...
