Subscribing to online technical training - anyone do it?
Soulfish replied to limawhiskey's topic in Courses and Training
Personally I use a combination of Safari Books Online for all the IT books I could ever want and PluralSight for all the training videos I want -
Yep I've done courses with QA and Global Knowledge. Really depends on who you get as a trainer, but didn't have any issues with either as a provider

Normally I'd say you could do this with Exchange transport rules fairly easily, however an email signature makes up part of the email body so there's no simple/easy way to separate it especially since there's no common delimiter for the start of email signatures. If you want to be able to search just the body realistically you're looking at passing the message to a third party program that you've bought/built to process and forward the message when required.

The last school I worked in had an interesting school day: Period 1 (8:30 - 11:50) Form/Assembly Time (11:50 - 12:20) Period 2 (12:20 - 16:00) There was a rolling break during period 1 (20 minutes) and a rolling lunch during period 2 (40 minutes) so the break/lunch time would depend on the class. Period 1 and Period 2 could also be sub-divided into 2 "half" sessions (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b). This was typically done for KS3, but KS4/KS5 tended to have the full 3hr session. AM registration was taken during P1/P1a, PM during P2/P2a.

@nicholab what do you mean by between networks? Transferring accounts from between O365 tenants, between different AD domains or just from on-premises to O365?

Just make sure it's a level of cover you're happy with - Driving Abroad - Car Insurance Guide - Confused.com
-
Just make sure your insurance will cover you for driving in Europe. A lot of the cheaper policies seem to exclude it now, and as you're a new driver your insurer may have placed restrictions on driving abroad.

Been an Android user for nearly 2 years now! And it's virtually stock Android, but you never know there could be a rootkit in there somewhere... Really like the Z3 though - the magnetic charging is brilliant, Just clips into the dock and charges pretty damm quickly. Much prefer it to the Qi charging pads that I've used with other phones. Other than inserting the SIM card and a 64gb microSD card haven't had to open up any of the port covers since buying the phone. Means that I can take it swiming/dunk it in the sink to clean the screen without issue or worrying. Ohh yeah did I not mention that it's waterproof?

I searched for ages trying to find a decent music app for Android that I liked. In the end I settled on Google Play Music, and given that I also now have a Google Play Music All Access subscription it just works pretty well for me Have to say though I do agree with Little-Miss and you, there are some occasions when I miss the iPhone!

I went from a Samsung S4 (first Android phone - loved Android coming from iOS, but hated TouchWiz!) and grew to dislike the look/feel of the phone, and the Samsung TouchWiz interface. Upgraded to a Sony Xperia Z3 in October shortly after they came out and absolutely loving the hardware, camera and the Sony interface (very very close to stock Android). The Samsung I'd rooted and was forever changing Roms trying to change one that I liked (probably one of the reasons I disliked the S4), but the Z3 I've left stock as for me it just works and is a lovely phone. So, if you hadn't guessed, consider the Z3

I have a HP N54 microserver running FreeNas with 6 x 1tb hard drives. Just sits there running my various programs (Plex, Sabnzbd, CouchPotato, Sickbeard etc) without issue

Office 365 - Backwards Engineer Hybrid Exchange 2013
Soulfish replied to Steve21's topic in Cloud Services
Yes it's possible to connect an on-premises server to Office 365 as a hybrid environment after you're running, however your users will either be cloud based or on-premises based. Having the hybrid setup won't give users access to email in the event of an internet connection failure. If you need access without an internet connection you then have to start looking at something like backing up the O365 mailboxes back to on-prem using a third party tool such as Office 365 backup & restore software | CodeTwo Backup for Office 365 -
O365 Setup - AD UPN Differs from E-mail domain
Soulfish replied to Stuart_C's topic in Cloud Services
You've got a few options. You could always change the AD UPN suffix if it's not used by anything else internally using something like Mass-Change UPN Suffix - Script Center - Spiceworks Alternatively you could add an additional UPN suffix - DirSync/AADSync will only sync a verified/routable domains UPN suffix, so non-verified suffix's won't be synced (see Prepare for directory synchronization and https://premnair.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/add-upn-suffixes-to-active-directory-users/) Finally you could also use the Alternative ID functionality that's just been added to DirSync/AADSync to change the login ID attribute to something other than the users UPN. See Configuring Alternate Login ID -

Have fun @Ric_ -
Limit is still in place for OneDrive for Business, but has been removed from OneDrive. The 20k file limitations/2gb file upload is linked to the fact that OneDrive for Business is really a SharePoint Online document library at the backend
-
OneDrive now supports 10gb file uploads, and according to the OneDrive blog they're brining that to OneDrive for Business "soon"
-
Are you thinking the amount of space allocated to the SharePoint site collection? That has a 1TB maximum, however each users OneDrive for Business is a separate 1tb allocation
-
Think how much space you get when you've got 100k users on Office 365
-
I've got a couple of the 40w Anker ones - as everyone else says it works pretty well

Happy Birthday

Very nice -
Was waiting to see what the iPhone 6 Plus was like, but currently tempted by the LG G3 or Oppo Find 7. Think it'll be the LG G3 if I can find a 32gb version in the UK . Not a huge fan of Samsung phone having lived with my S4 for 18 months - love Android, but not the phone unfortunately!

I work from home a lot now so recently treated myself to a new chair. Ended up getting a Steelcase Leap (Leap | Task Chairs | Seating | Category | Products | Steelcase) after doing a lot of research. Absolutely wonderful chair - so many adjustments and it just "glides" to suit your body . I ended up getting mine from Ebay as a refurbed v2 model with new leather, and there's normally v1 and v2 models available for £150-200. They're over £800 new!

Very sad news
