Good shout, totally over looked that!

Can anyone recommend an open-source DLNA server that has the ability to restrict IP's that can access the content (but no logins etc)? This will only be internal, needs to be nothing fancy, just require the aforementioned IP restriction.

@Fazza thanks - worked a treat!

I have taken over a network, and for most machines BIOS passwords have not been set, however 2 or 3 seem to have had these set; and there is no documentation anywhere of what these maybe. Has anybody had any joy in removing BIOS Passwords on HP ProDesk 400 G7 machines? Tried removing CMOS batteries, swapping jumpers about etc with no joy. Any ideas appreciated

Thanks Chaplic, will keep an eye on whats incoming for the students accounts

Think I have sorted! The P1 and P2 suggestion got me looking into this and there was another domain "sendgrid.net" which appears to have resolved the issue. Thanks all

Thanks Michael. I have noticed that Arbor sends from a no-reply e-mail address from an Arbor domain, but sends on behalf of a member of staff (who is logged into Arbor); I'm wondering if this has something to do with it

Morning We have rules created in Office365 that block external senders for student accounts other than domains that we list within the exceptions. We have never had a problem with this before, adding domains to exceptions when needed. However we use Arbor and the messaging system within, and despite adding the domain into the exceptions, all e-mails to students are still being blocked. I have carried out message traces within Office365 and this informs me of the name of the rule blocking the email, which is the rule I would expect to be blocking, but should be allowed through due to the exceptions. I have taken the domain directly from the message trace and added this into the exceptions, still without joy. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Thanks all - putting a PPT together and will look into GoPhish

I'm looking to create some Phishing awareness training for staff, has anybody else done this and how did you do it? Obviously want to ensure people engage and watch any videos/presentations that I create, without them being too long it puts them off Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks. Are you using S2D and how are you safely shutting the cluster down? Cheers

Just completed setting up S2D (2 node cluster) and need to setup my UPS (x2) to safely shutdown the cluster before powering off physical servers. Has anybody got a similar setup to me using APC Powerchute Business, and is able to share their setup, scripts etc. I've done some reading around, but with something like UPS power downs would be nice to have some visibility of tried and tested methods! Cheers

The RAID1 is the 2 SSDs for the OS, then no RAID on the data drives for S2D cluster - does that not seem correct to you? Cheers

In the process of setting up new HP servers for S2D, OS being installed on SSD's (RAID1) and I have the option to enable or disable SSD Over Provisioning Optimisation - my thoughts are this should be enabled (if I understand correct this will further increase lifespan). Can anybody confirm? The SSDs are 2x 800GB Cheers
