Just found out the VPN has a low MTU value set at 1380, can domain controllers replicate with a lower MTU or is domain traffic always marked at do no fragment, its strange how the port test is working on other servers but not between these 3. Can I force the DC's to use a lower MTU for communication?

Just used port query to take a look at port 389, ndc02 to both sdc01 and sdc02 is fine, sdc01 and sdc02 to ndc02 fail on port 389 via tcp but get though on 389 udp. Firewalls are off at both ends, what the hell would stop this other than a firewall somewhere?

Dcdiag stops on knows of role holders on both sdc01 and sdc02, a check in AD at operation masters reports correctly but i get an error when i check infrastructure, operations master error. these are all on both sdc01 and sdc02, ndc01 is reporting no errors.

I have a domain controller problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. I have two sites all on one domain connected over a VPN tunnel, with 4 domain controllers total, I'm getting the following errors ndc02 is reporting error 55 sdc02 and 55 sdc01 then when i run repadmin /repsummery on sdc01 abd sdc02 i get error 58 to ndc02 Replication looks ok as its likely going though ndc01 which is the PDC. I can ping the servers and resolve them through DNS, ports look ok using port query. Can anyone give me some ideas to look at or try, please?

Just did the upgrade and have same problem with academic year being shown wrong, Capita guy i just talked to said he was not aware and its and issue and is isolated to us.... passed it to 2nd line.

Been thinking about the same things recently as well, the problem i have with education is that you dont tend to be a specialist in any area but more ok at lots of things in lots of areas, that makes going to industry both daunting and hard due to most company's looking for someone as blue pointed out above who is a expert in a one or two areas. I need to pick a area to specialise in and pay for training to get there but its hard knowing which direction to pick.

We moved away this summer mainly due to the amount of down time SB has it was getting to be an joke and getting some very competitive costs. Our new provider Virgin has been stable as a rock once we got it up and running but the customer service is beyond dreadful, i still have complaint open from August and unresolved or acknowledged, our account manager changed and the new one has not even phoned to introduce them self, seems these days you can choose the smaller company's and get a personal touch with a smaller redundancy setup and more regular down time or a big company who will never know who you are or care but have a big system in place to make sure you always have a connection. One thing i will give them is that they where always polite and tried hard to resolve issues as fast as possible and where honest when things went wrong, sadly this is not enough when the connection is down as much as it was and teaching and learning was suffering as a result.

This is driving me mad, there are sites i dont want listed and shown to students, but i have no control over what displayed in suggested links. Anyone figured out a way to control this yet?

Did you get any where?

Hi all, I'm starting to roll out Office 2016 around the school, we use IAMCLOUD to federate sign in on office 365 and we have it working on some pcs but the majority do not automatically sign the user in when you open an Office application. The single sign on though the browser and the Cloud drive mapper is also working, we just seem to have random performance on the office side. I cant seem to find any logs to tell me if it tried to sign the user in and failed because either. Any ideas?

Scary thought on how much damage i could do if i typed in the wrong commands.

Thanks, it seems to be working away.

i get this The term 'Get-Mailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:12 + Get-Mailbox <<<< -ResultSize unlimited | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -Is ReplyAllTheDefaultResponse $false + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-Mailbox:String) [], Command NotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Full on noob with Powershell how would i run that command so it sets every ones default to reply?

Any update driving me up the wall.
