Office 365 remove original message when replying
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Office Software
straight forward and SLT don't often go together well.. The idea is it will stop 'potentially sensitive' emails being forwarded to the wrong person by mistake.. I have the feeling that this has already happened to someone and they are now trying to shut the door after the horse has bolted.. I agree it makes much more sense to start a new email.. or just to check the contents of emails before replying /forwarding / sending. -
the powers above would like to disable including the original message when replying to an email in office365. one of the SLT says this was disabled at his old school.. I can change the settings for individual users when they are logged on themselves.. but is there a way to do it for everyone in the organisation through the admin panel? I havent been able to find anything yet... We use office365 E3 and everything is hosted with microsoft.. (we dont use exchange) users access their email through web browsers not outlook. thanks in advance for any answers!

main switch is an ageing HP 5406ZL edge switches are mostly (also ageing) HP2626 and HP2650

I have checked the main switch and it only has a ping test on it as far as i can see..

hi, we are experiencing some intermittent issues with our network.. and think it could in part be down to some ageing (approaching 15 years old in some places) Fibre runs.. I dont know much about fibre and havent ever installed any (apart from connecting patch cables to switches) or tested it before.. The fibre was mostly all installed before i started here by the then technicians (who have now all left..) who all got sent on a fibre course.. As far as i am aware it is all multi Mode fibre, with 95% ST connectors (one cab has SC for some reason..) in the network cabinets.. these are then connected to the switches via an SC to LC fibre patch cable to the mini gbic modules in the switches.. does anyone have any reccomendations for equipment either to buy or hire if it is super expensive.) to test the condition of the fibre runs? thanks!

hi, does anyone know if there is a way to change the default timezone in office365\sharepoint for new sites? when created currently they are all Pacific time with the american date format.. you can change them manually to GMT after creating them, but it would be handy to not have to remember to do this every time! have i missed a setting somewhere? my google-fu is usually pretty good but im struggling with this one!

App Inventor 2 without compromising security (I think!)
spacehopper replied to knelmes's topic in How do you do....it?
looks like i've figured my issue out.. the application parameter in the registry needed changing from program files to program files (x86) have also used the emahx64 you posted on the previous page.. will just have to tidy everything up now and it should be good to go.. -
App Inventor 2 without compromising security (I think!)
spacehopper replied to knelmes's topic in How do you do....it?
this has been working great for us last year.. thank you knelmes! but, I have just come to set it up on the new image (which is 64bit rather than 32bit) and the service wont start properly.. have fiddled around and changed a few things to programfiles (x86) but no joy.. The Image is currently in Audit mode too whilst i finalise the setup.. could this be the cause? if not.. has anyone else had this and how did you solve it? -
the server they're connecting to is server 2003... however.. con2prt is crashing the windows 7 machines local spooler..
-
we have been using con2prt with an environment variable for years.. however... ive just been looking at some windows 7 machines that are using this system.. (weve had win7 machines in school now for over a year..) and con2prt is crashing the print spooler meaning the printers arent added.. has anyone else experienced this? and if so what did you do to remedy it? Thanks!

Virtualbox - Remove network access
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
even more baffling.. ive just tried it on my 32bit win7 machine.. and the VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/RestrictedGlobalSettingsPages Network works... in that it removes the network settings in file, preferences.. but, if i create a VM i can access its individual network settings through virtualbox manager.. would i be better off looking at creating individual VM's for them to access separately without going through (and also disabling) the virtualbox manager? and then remove each VM's network access on a VM by VM basis? -
Virtualbox - Remove network access
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
accessing network settings by opening virtualbox.. and then selecting the network settings on each VM (currently have 2VMS) im also able to access the global network settings via file, preferences, network just tried.. VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Customizations noSelector and that threw up an error on launching virtualbox that said.. cannot run virtualbox in vmselectormode due to local restrictions the application will now terminate.. -
Virtualbox - Remove network access
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines

Virtualbox - Remove network access
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
tried.. VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/RestrictedGlobalSettingsPages NETWORK and VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/RestrictedGlobalSettingsPages Network but it doesnt seem to have worked as i can still access the network settings of the VM's -
Virtualbox - Remove network access
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
so i should be using the following command? VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/RestrictedGlobalSettingsPages OPTION[,OPTION...] like this.. VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/RestrictedGlobalSettingsPages OPTION[,NETWORK...] ? which appears to run from the command line and gives no errors.. but doesnt remove the network settings when i re-open virtualbox =( -
Virtualbox - Remove network access
spacehopper replied to spacehopper's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
how do you disable the configuration screen? -
hi, we are looking at implemeting virtualbox to give the students an unrestricted environment on which to run programming tools on the computing course thats starting here next year.. all well so far but i need to be able to remove network access from the Virtualbox's and make it so the students cant re-enable it from the Virtualbox program as currently it gives them unrestricted access to our network..! i also need to maintain the ability to map a network drive to the virtualbox host to allow the students to transfer files between the vbox environment and the local drive.. how has anyone else gone about this? Thanks in advance!

turns out it was working afterall... a proper duh moment here...! i'd set the offsite users up in a new OU... then setup a new group policy for the two trial users to give them access to USB drives to save their work.. (we dont want to use offline files as the teachers find this hard enough to get their heads around! ) as well as no internet access offsite whilst we look at smoothwall remote guardian.. then forgot to link the new group olicy to the OU! so it wasnt being applied even on the domain! thanks for the replies though!

it looks like we might be getting some laptops for the 6th form to use and take home as well.. ive got them working and so they can log on offsite too.. but when they do the group policy isn't applied.. been searching for a while but not found any working answers yet! is there anyway to cache the group policy settings on the laptop, so that when they log on offsite they still get the restrictions in place? thanks in advance..

planning on deploying Google chrome on the schools computers in the next couple of days for one reason and another.. have got everything working as i would like.. but im having an issue with one last thing.. If the users click on settings, under the bonnet and then http/ssl and manage certificates it pops up the certificates box.. searched high and low i cant find out where to stop this.. I dont think its in the Chrome settings as its a windows pop up window that appears.. does anyone know where the setting is in group policy management to stop the certificates window from opening? thanks in advance!
