Hi all, Have a few schools using on-premise Smoothwall filtering. Anyone else using the same, do you have issues connecting Amazon Echo Dot devices to the Alexa App. It can be a battle. Any guidance much appreciated. Thanks all

Ah, I remember when councils were doing it this way. It was very slow.

Hi all, Just a quick question regards how you get your schools or businesses to remote into SIMs from outside. Do you get them to log into the SIMs server directly via RDP session or do you get them to remote into the onsite admin PC and use SIMs from there ? I have read in the past that remoting onto the main SIMs server directly is not really a good option, especially if there are several using it. We do not get school staff to do it this way, but how do others do it for their schools ? Thanks all

Thanks all for replying to this topic in the past. If I may ask. Has anyone ever encountered any major issues syncing on-premise AD with Entra ? The reason I ask, the Microsoft notes (and there are many for this) state it is advisable to have a backup server incase anything basically messes up !!! Thanks all

Thanks guys for great replies. I was wondering about costs really of other firewall providers but the general feedback seems to be stay with Smoothwall. My reasons for enquiring are that Smoothwall quite often on renewal send quotes out increasing prices significantly even for small loyal customers and these types of customers do not need overkiil appliances that are necessary for much larger organisations. This is where Smoothwall are frustrating and they don't want to budge on price.

Hi all, Small primary school has an on-premise Smoothwall firewall controller, but would appreciate anyone out there who has alternative recommendations. Thanks all

Thank you for your reply.

Hi all, If I could ask, what is the best way to migrate data from an on-premises server (Windows 2019) to sharepoint ? We are a primary school. Thank you

Thanks, I got the bezel as you mentioned from AliExpress, it as easy to fit and works. Thanks for your help.

Interesting. i'll have a look at this link, as I have set the shared iLO correctly following all instructions provided by HP but cannot ping the iLO ip address regardless of whether I give it a static or DHCP IP. The Teamed NIC is as instructed as well.

Thanks all for the replies

Thanks for the reply. Yes oddly, I was just checking out that website the other day.

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has ever purchased an iLO add-on card for a HP Proliant Gen 9 server. The server our customer has is a ML30 Gen 9. Ive contacted HP, but they put be through to a partners website where I contacted many HP Partners without a single response. Thanks all

Hi all, Sorry if this is in the incorrect thread. Im looking for training of any sort in Azure, but mainly towards migrating onsite premise servers to Azure or using a hybrid setup. Thanks all for any info.
