  1. There are also some excellent resources on the SWGFL esafety site too: Policy Templates - Online Safety Services
  2. Probably, a similar number here. Maybe 4-5 in the past 10 years.
  3. 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.
  4. Congratulations! I'm looking to take this exam too, later in the year, did you self study, or go for online/classroom training?
  5. Another vi / vim user.
  6. Skyhooks are real though... Skyhooks - Needle Sports
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Application sent
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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. Iain.
  15. 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.
  16. Can you not base the access on the folder to a security group, and then delegate membership control of the security group to the two managing users?
  17. Couldn't you use the where-object cmdlet to filter out the users with existing student advantage licenses? e.g. Get-MsolUser -All -Title Student | Where-Object {$_.Licenses.AccountSkuId -notcontains "XXXXXX:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_STUDENT"} | set-MsolUserLicense -AddLicenses "XXXXXX:OFFICESUBSCRIPTION_STUDENT" Iain.
  18. Is your proxy using NTLM or Kerberos authentication? Office 2013 doesn't support NTLM and will request credentials if they proxy isn't configured to use Kerberos.
  19. Congratulations, and good luck
  20. 430 pupils / 110 staff / Anything with a plug on it and myself.
  21. You can limit the lookup to an OU, by using the -OrganizationalUnit switch on the Get-Mailbox command e.g. $mailboxlist=get-mailbox -organizationalunit ""; $mailboxlist | foreach {Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $_} | where {$_.RedirectTo -or $_.ForwardTo} | fl MailboxOwnerId, Name, ForwardTo, RedirectTo
  22. You should be able to list mailboxes with rules to forward or redirect, using the following: $mailboxlist=get-mailbox; $mailboxlist | foreach {Get-InboxRule -Mailbox $_} | where {$_.RedirectTo -or $_.ForwardTo} | fl MailboxOwnerId, Name, ForwardTo, RedirectTo Iain
  23. Have you got your Smoothwall set up to use Kerberos authentication instead of NTLM? Office 2013 doesn't support NTLM authentication, and I've seen this issue a few times where the proxy hasn't been set up to use Kerberos. Iain
  24. The nosslsearch.google.com setup is working for us here, although we don't use Smoothwall.
  25. Try $false in your test, rather than 'False'. The -eq operator is a boolean comparison and not a string comparison operator e.g. if ($Userdata.isLicensed -eq $false) Iain.
