Preventing Zoom (or Teams and Meet) bombing during online classes.
dapaulio replied to BroganOs's topic in Cloud Services
We use the lobby for everyone. Only the organiser can bypass. Teachers often complained that students would stay the meeting with the teacher then coming in late. Not heard of any issues with guest bombers They must have this feature also in zoom as my son has to wait to be let in by his teacher. Google meet not sure I’m afraid -
Tried updating the firmware but the primary that is suffering unfortunately have the really old activ boards which Promethean said they no longer support, but try their beta drivers. Unfortunately I had no luck

Multiple instances of SIMS client from one RDS server
dapaulio replied to Bruce123's topic in MIS Systems
On the Rds are the permissions on connect.ini write able to the end user accessing sims. On the rds Try use direct connection string in the connect.ini rather than a redirect connect.ini [sIMSConnection] ServerName=simsserver\sims2012 DatabaseName=SIMS CommandTimeout=10000000 DatabaseMode=OnLine [sIMSDatabases] FriendlyName0=School 1 Server0=simserver2\sims2014 DatabaseName0=SIMS DatabaseMode0=OnLine FriendlyName1=School 2 Server1=simsserver3\SIMS2012 DatabaseName1=SIMS DatabaseMode1=OnLine -
We just added all the teachers in rotation for the whole year as owners to the teams manually. Wont harm them to have a few extra teams.

Changes were immediate for all new meetings. Existing meetings wouldn’t have reflected the changes

Also interested in this. Found the same updated the driver on an old proactiv board and had win 10 computers blue screening. I Tried the beta driver which the boards weren’t responding to at all.

I have just implemented this option today for a customer. You can change the default using power shell Sorry it’s a screen print the script is on my works tenancy which protects me from pasting organisational data You run Line 5 or line 6 depending whether you want to get- or set- Remember to replace the identity of your policy in line 6 with your own which can be queried in line 5 to then run in line 6

Hi all Annoying issue that I been looking to resolve but I have exhausted my google know how. Whenever a new teams is created it defaults it regional settings to English US which has a knock on effect when opening online documents with formatting dates etc. I can see you can change the locale settings under share point / site settings / regional settings after the team has been created... ... however does anyone know how I can make these setting to default like below image These are the settings I set on the top level share point page thinking they would inherit down but on testing it always defaults to the 1st image attachment. Iv seen forums dating back a few years of people experiencing same symptoms but not found any resolution other than a script workaround which I am not keen on implementing. Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Some Office 365 accounts rejecting internal messages
dapaulio replied to andyt57's topic in Cloud Services
Connect to exchange online in power shell and run a message trace get-messagetrace -status failed | get-messagetracedetail You can use other filters to narrow down also but It will give you the reason for why each failed Message trace will only return up to 10 days history by default. -
Good evening Before we moved our exchange mailboxes in to exchange online the email address in AD was written back to when the mailbox was created. Now we have move all mailboxes in to exchange online this attribute is no longer automatically populated. We use AAD sync and We have a third party that syncs it database based on this field in active directory and it causes problems with their sync when a new user is created in ad, unless we remember to manually enter the email address of the user. Is this a limitation of exchange online not syncing back to ad or have i over looked a write back setting in adsync TIA

BBC.co.uk redirects to BBC.com
dapaulio replied to dapaulio's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
FYI for anyone coming across the same issue. Turned out the bbc had an incorrect record for my ip address associating ourselves with the vpn service as well as our ISP After a number weeks bbc have corrected their records and issue is resolved Thanks -
Not used it in a while and I could be wrong but Salamanda as far as I know doesn’t create sims users in bulk. Op is looking to creating sims users on mass. Rather than create ad users based on sims which yes salamanda can do

In the Capita technical roadmap support for office 2019 came into effect from summer 2020. Does not disclose any limitation on architecture therefore I would say x64 is support https://www.coventry.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/14588/sims_technical_roadmap.pdf

Just bumping this so I don’t lose it as I have seen something which creates user accounts in sims or something like that. I’m sure it is in one of the predefined sql scripts that is within the database but one, I can’t remember what is is called and two whether it was a user creation script on mass or individual accounts. I’m back at work on Monday and will have a look. Work you way through the sql scripts within the database, there’s loads but you may be lucky to find it.

BBC.co.uk redirects to BBC.com
dapaulio replied to dapaulio's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Thanks for all the input. It says something when the bbc responds to you quicker than the schools isp. The bbc detect that the up address is affiliated with a VPN service called ivacy. Waiting for the schools isp to comment having passed the bbc email on to them to investigate. Thanks all. I’ll let you know how I get on -

Any takers??? -
Hi all I have a problem where bbc.co.uk videos are saying they are not available in my location. I noticed that bbc.co.uk redirects to .com and when I review the schedule on the bbc it is giving me the North America schedule. I have reached out to our ISP but they claim the up address is registered correctly in the Uk I have also confirmed this by going on various what’s my IP sites and they all return my IP is as my ISP say registered in the Uk I have hit a dead end at the moment as the symptoms described above have been happening between anytime after March where we got locked down to about a month ago when the complaint started coming in. Today I still experience problems on the BBC website consistent in all browsers. We have a smoothwall proxy which I have tested a computer with a web filtering exception in its ip One more thing it only seems to be the bbc website. Using sites which use location services seem to detect me where I should be Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated TIA

Simple task it seems but are there any gotchas that will surprise me by changing a tenant admin to a normal user other than loss of privilege to the admin centre Context HT is an office 365 admin and no longer wants to receive the million of notifications you get as an tenant admin. Can see any way of removing HT from the recipients as all notification alerts are emailed to tenant admin. HT has agreed he doesn’t need this level of access. TIA

[ms office - 2016] Excel 2016 blank screen when opening file
dapaulio replied to dapaulio's topic in Office Software
We found a conflict with netsupport which forced them to acknowledge the bug after they manage to replicate the symptoms. A new update has already been released. This seems to have resolved the issue in our test environment and no further reports have been raised. -
Good Afternoon, I am looking to understand how the safeguarding reporting works and how certain activity is flagged. The setup i have in place works, however i have questions to how smoothwall determines what is classed as a safeguarding concern. eg i had a student google the attached photo which was categorised as personal weapons but safeguarding didnt pick it up. Phrases have been purposely not been included in the body text for fear it can then be searched on Any guidance welcome

[ms office - 2016] Excel 2016 blank screen when opening file
dapaulio replied to dapaulio's topic in Office Software
These are xlsx and Xls files, doesn’t matter where it is opened from eg network or local and who it is opened by eg domain admin, restricted user Other office applications don’t seem to be affected. All the sites We manage are patched to the same level and only this site shows the symptoms. It’s a newly deployed site via config manager. New sccm new ou structure with company standard group policies we deploy everywhere. Its really strange because I can’t find the difference between this site and another. I’m hoping it just an oversight but our technical consultants are swamped at the moment and will eventually get back to me but was hoping if anyone had any ideas that I could pursue maybe I don’t have to wait as long and resolve it TIA
