How about this? Need to change $filename = 'D:\' to your chosen location and also you need to change YOURSERVERNAME to your exchange server name. My script combines all databases and sorts the list by size of mailbox - shouldn't be to hard to separate the lists. Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.SnapIn $DateStamp = get-date -uformat "%d-%m-%Y" $filename = 'D:\' + $DateStamp + '_MailBox_Sizes.txt' Get-MailboxStatistics -Server YOURSERVERNAME| Sort-Object TotalItemSize –Descending | ft @{label=”User”;expression={$_.DisplayName}},@{label=”Total Size (MB)”;expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}},@{label=”Items”;expression={$_.ItemCount}},@{label=”Storage Limit”;expression={$_.StorageLimitStatus}},@{label=”Database”;expression={$_.Database}},@{label=”Last Logon Time”;expression={$_.LastLogonTime}} -auto >>$filename

Smoothwall Location Blocking
mdrabble replied to sippo's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
I allow by locations which is similar..... Do you have reverse DNS configured? I had reverse DNS configured on my Windows DNS but had issues to start with as I didn't have reverse DNS setup correctly on smoothwall. Under Network ->DNS -> Conditional DNS forwarders Under the domains, I didn't add the reverse DNS settings correctly. I tried adding as 10.16.in-addr.arpa instead of 16.10.in-addr.arpa I then put the machine/netbios names in locations and configured location blocking accordingly. -
Here is the link to the beta with details. https://unms.com/

Unifi are currently in Beta for their UMNS system which will allow to manage all your Unifi switches and access point. Have it running at the moment but monitoring 1 switch as needed to upgrade the firmware to a beta to allow it to be monitored.

Every now and then when users logon, we have noticed some GPOs do not get apply at logon. Things like BGInfo script, Mapped Drives, Logon scripts, Printers etc. I've run gpresult with /h and rsop.msc and they all show GPOs being applied If the user logs off and on again straight away, the GPOs get applied correctly. Currently seeing these issues on Windows 10 LTSB and 1709 - not noticed on Windows 7 Anyone else come across strange little things like this?

HTTPS Inspection - Warning Users
mdrabble replied to dapaulio's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
We put ours in our AUP, BYOD Policies and also on our MITM page for users to see plus it also helps when it comes to visitors who need to use the wifi so they can install the smooth wall certificate. -
Server 2012r2 HyperV VMs randomly reboot
mdrabble replied to mdrabble's topic in Windows Server 2012
Hi @Ricardo The issue turned out to be the HBA Controller not being able to handle to IO traffic which caused the card to reset/resend data. We replaced with a RAID card so it could handle the IO traffic and not had any issues since. Downside is that no longer using Storage Spaces which means cannot use the HDD/SSD Tiers - I now have a seperate HHD Array and SSD Array. Hope that helps -

Oracle VirtualBox - Strange issues with VMs
mdrabble replied to mdrabble's topic in Thin Client and Virtual Machines
Have to set an environment setting, I’ll try and post details over the weekend -
Normally go on the Friday but this year will be going on the Wednesday

Now working! - It was the very last entry that was the issue. Once added it now prompts as excepted. @FN-GM This now works for me - looks like we didn't have the last registry key in the correct place - we had it under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\FVE instead of HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FVE
-
@gshaw just noticed one of your registry enteries is for HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet Which is covered on the weblink at the top of the page - could you let me know what the full entry is for that key please. I suspect that may be why my attempt isnt working as I put the last entry under the same location as the others. Cheers

You had

Just gone over the guide and I'm getting nothing..... no prompt or denied access. Instead of using the group method, I am currently testing on a test user - so the user targeting is for a user and not member of group. Apart from the 3 registry entries to set the attributes, is there anything else I need to do? - I take it these are placed under the User GPP and not Computer GPP

I added the details to smoothwall and had no joy, smoothwall remoted in and also added them to the bypass proxy settings within IE and it worked

OOOO looks like zero happening on that counter

The VLAN is going to be for the phone system - thought I would try the easy one first! as the phones don't need external access. DHCP for the phones will be Windows DHCP
-
Ok, this is what I have done so far.... On the smoothwall box, I added a VLAN port, tagged to relevant VLAN and then configured IP on that interface. Added the following firewall rules. Added the Smoothwall Access rules Added the Network with Network->Subnets Switches, added VLANs Set uplink ports as Trunk ports Switch with Smoothwall connected is also tagged for VLAN On edge switches added IP Helper address (Windows DHCP Server) - Couldnt add to DLink DXS-3600-32S unless I added an interface for the VLAN - which I can do and leave it empty, but since edge switches all have help addresses thought would be ok. Windows DHCP Server - created scope for VLAN - Router set for VLAN Gateway address. On the switch I am testing a port has been set to VLAN 200 and tagged for VLAN 1 - so On a laptop - DHCP doesnt work and with a manually set IP address I can only ping the vlan gateway address. I know i've missed something but no idea what!
