I changed the IP address and VLAN'd the phone system since the first test installation, plus the external IP kept resolving to my gateway address and not my 3CX external IP for some reason which I think I entered when I first set it up. As this was only a test install, I am currently spinning up a new VM and will setup using the correct IP range/VLAN from the start and also the correct external IP address. I've found 3CX guides for most firewall platforms, so I've taken the port settings and will adapt to my smoothwall box - so fingers crossed.

I had to put some firewall rules and proxy exceptions in to get eLicenser working correctly. I had to add the following to my smoothwall authentication exceptions and IE proxy exceptions *elasticbeanstalk.com;*elicenser.net;52.51.178.116;52.213.170.126;212.79.59.34

Can someone who is using 3CX and smoothwall mind sharing their firewall rules please - I can get wired handsets working fine, but the mobile soft app dials and receives calls but no I cannot get any audio working Cheers

Just found this https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/3145373/the-option-you-chose-isn-t-available-error-when-a-user-tries-to-set-up Now sorted

For some reason users are unable to set out of office via the web interface due a restriction in place. I haven't locked anything down, other than who can create Office 365 groups and then all staff are allowed to do this.

Ok, I've looked, I've googled and I've failed! How and where do I allow users to set their own Out of Office? I can set it for users manually but it a bit of a pain especially if I have to keep doing. Cheers

+1 for that idea as well :-)

Ditto for wanting to cut down login times. Mine are anything from 40sec to 2 mins depending when you pc is turned on!

Need to install the Borland engine - run the NovaSat installer which extracts the file you need.

Currently use M247 for 100mb leased line. Was in places before I arrived and had no issues. Contract was up for renewal last year and since I hadn’t had any issues and and I could make cost reduction I renewed contract for a further 3 years. Did have the option to upgrade to 1gb but when I looked on the usage graphs I decided to stick at 100mb and save some money. Support is good - think in the last 4 years I’ve only raised 4 support calls and they were about dashboard access or account questions.

Ok Fellow Edugeekers need to ask a couple of questions. Anyone using Unifi EdgeSwitch Lites and Meraki Access points and do you have LLDP configured on your switches? If yes, does your Meraki Dashboard show the LLDP information? Reason why I ask is that I have LLDP configured - switches show LLDP info for Meraki Access Points but the Meraki Dashboard not showing Switch LLDP info. Have raised a ticket with meraki and just wondered if anyone else come across this before.

yep tried all that and I get access denied due to being sync'd to premise

All AD and Mailbox settings were set to the correct username JBloggs with Careers1 set as an mailbox alias I've been through the AD Attribute editor and can see no mention of Careers1

Couple of years ago, we had a user called careers1 which was later renamed to a proper username eg. JBloggs They logged on to the network using JBloggs and their on premise exchange mailbox was set to [email protected] Just migrated the user to Office 365 and it have set the Office365 account name to [email protected] and I can see no way of changing this!!! Anyone any clues how I can change the office 365 name back to jbloggs? Cheers

Currently using Version 8.2x and recent noticed that when viewing machines, or giving a demo to a group of machines the screen on the viewed machines or machine receiving the demo start lagging in terms of monitor display and mouse/keyboard. Anyone come across this before - and does this happen of other products such as Impero/Netsupport etc. Cheers

I'm trying to push one drive as an alternative to USB devices (staff hate change!!) - presently I'm using the OneDriveMapper script to map One Drive for LTSB clients - looking at 1709 a the moment so I can take advantage of OneDrive Files on demand

I have this script for check on-premise mailbox sizes Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn $DateStamp = get-date -uformat "%d-%m-%Y" $filename = 'D:\' + $DateStamp + '_MailBox_Sizes.txt' #change exch-01 to your server name Get-MailboxStatistics -Server exch-01 | where {$_.ObjectClass –eq “Mailbox”} | Sort-Object TotalItemSize –Descending | ft @{label=”User”;expression={$_.DisplayName}},@{label=”Total Size (MB)”;expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}},@{label=”Items”;expression={$_.ItemCount}},@{label=”Storage Limit”;expression={$_.StorageLimitStatus}} -auto >>$filename

Not brill, but this powershell script does show the last logon times for computers I run this from one of my Domain Controllers. Get-ADComputer -Filter * -Properties * | Sort LastLogonDate | FT Name, LastLogonDate -Autosize | Out-File C:\ComputerLastLogonDate.txt

I thought that may have been the case - always better to check. Having said that, some of the systems would be better than a paper based system

I'm gutted I missed this yesterday!

Had a wander around Bett yesterday and stopped to look at a couple of Visitor Management systems and as we currently use a paper based system at present and whilst talking to the reps they both independently mentioned how this helps with GDPR. Unfortunately I cannot which companies they were - but I do know it wasn't InVentry. I wasn't aware paper based signing in systems were not GDPR complaint can someone clarify if this is correct. Cheers

I have edupost-it notes :-) just need a new notepad.....
