Probably, a similar number here. Maybe 4-5 in the past 10 years.

Usually, if it is saying enabled by the network administrator, it is using a DNS CNAME/DNAME alias to redirect www.youtube.com to forcesafesearch.googe.com. Try looking in your DNS. Edit - Sorry, I missed the bit saying Chrome only, so it is probably not this.

Congratulations! I'm looking to take this exam too, later in the year, did you self study, or go for online/classroom training?

I've had issues before with IE11, caused by using GPU rendering (Internet Options -> Advanced -> Accelerated Graphics) on certain machines. The issue is no longer appears when the 'Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering' option is ticked.

As others have said, the Peak District is a good choice with loads of crags to choose from, although I tend to find the usual lower lying crags (Stanage, Burbage, Froggatt, Millstone etc.) a bit too warm and humid during the summer months - watch out for the midges!, and prefer to head up to the crags on Kinder or the moorland crags such as Shining Clough and make use of a cooler breeze. North wales (in and around Llanberis / Ogwen valleys) is a good bet too for the summer, especially if fancy some multi-pitch. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, head out to the sea cliffs in Cornwall or Pembroke - both have tons of amazing climbing in stunning positions.

In the above script the value returned for strUsername would be Null, rather than an empty string, if no user is logged on and in VBScript the empty string "" != Null If you change your test to isNull(strUsername) it should work, e.g. strUsername = "" strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _ "SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem",,48) For Each objItem in colItems strUsername = objItem.UserName Next If isNull(strUsername) Then ''No User logged on Force shutdown strCmd = "shutdown -s -t 300 -f -c ""This computer is performing a scheduled shutdown. Please save all your work. PRESSING CLOSE WILL NOT ABORT SHUTDOWN""" objShell.Run strCmd Else ''user logged in strCmd = "shutdown -r -t 300 -f -c ""This computer is performing a scheduled shutdown. Please save all your work. PRESSING CLOSE WILL NOT ABORT SHUTDOWN""" objShell.Run strCmd End If Iain.

If you follow option 3 on this page it will enforce safe search for the whole network. Although, if you are using Windows Server 2008R2 or later as your DNS, use a DNAME record instead of a CNAME record. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669?hl=en

YouTube Safety Mode - Is it me?
Iain replied to Synkrox's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Hi Chris, I added these records to our DNS a while back, so it may have been on an old 2008 DNS. Having said that, I've just tested by adding a DNAME record (under Other New Records...) instead of a CNAME record on our new 2012r2 DNS and that worked fine (don't forget to clear all caches ipconfig /flushdns etc.) Iain. -
YouTube Safety Mode - Is it me?
Iain replied to Synkrox's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
I created a new primary zone for http://www.youtube.com (the www is important!) as the zone needs to be authoritative: Then, in your new http://www.youtube.com zone, create a new CNAME record with a blank alias and with forcesafesearch.google.com as the FQDN for the target host: Iain. -
YouTube Safety Mode - Is it me?
Iain replied to Synkrox's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
I've got it set up this way here and it works with HTTPS, whether signed into YouTube or not. When you try and change the SafetyMode setting using the option at the bottom of the page you get the attached message: The only downside is that it is a blanket setting for the network, so you can't disable it for certain users.

You can set it at the network level by using the same DNS hack that you can use to force SafeSearch in google search (See option 3 https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669?hl=en). Create a new DNS zone for www.youtube.com and then create a new CNAME within this zone, leave the alias blank and set the hostname to forcesafesearch.google.com.
