We are having an issue whereby our laptops lose connection to our protected network via Wi-Fi(radius controlled) The symptoms are that the Wi-Fi network name disappears from the list of networks and the laptops either connect to an open network or stay disconnected The fact that the Wi-Fi name is forgotten suggests to me that group policy is somehow expired as this is where the network name is gotten. We find by connecting them back up to the wired network and running gpupdate /force the laptops then reconnect A similar thing happens when there is a trust relationship error but the cause of this is obvious just produces the same result as above. Any ideas? Could a certificate be expiring or something else? We are running Windows 10 but I'm pretty sure the issue occurred on Windows 7 too Thanks Robbie

We've had a site down situation since yesterday. Smoothwall support no where to be seen. In fact yesterday all we got was support lines too busy please email Robbie

We are using the latest version of 10 enterprise and getting side by side errors during installation. Any ideas?

Does anyone else have an issue with smoothwall blocking entire image searches rather than individual images? Everything seems to be either Pornography or Drugs Examples searching for Strawberry on bing image search or https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe=strict&biw=1920&bih=963&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=flowers+photography+roses&oq=flowers+photography+roses&gs_l=img.3...4811.5950.0.6217.6.6.0.0.0.0.91.411.6.6.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.5.338.dmJpd6dkhNU&safe=vss&surl=1

That doesn't work at least not when I tried. The App checks back to see if it is licensed and fails the licensing check

That is the DMD chip in the projector normally. An easy swap out if you can get hold of them however projectors don't cost much now

We've just bought a few of these with big hopes to use the above feature only to find there is no security Anyone can network project to a LAN attached Epson projector and whoever connects first can decide to lock the moderator function Has anyone bumped into this problem? Robbie

Can anyone recommend a replacement to the UF55 projector using the RA bracket? and whether the "control" cable works on it i.e. turns it off from the board Thanks Robbie

Is anyone using Watchguard XTM and Web Blocker(Websense Cloud)? Anyone experiencing the authentication page appearing for users? It is the bane of my life!! Also anyone experiencing issues with getting user reports out of it? i.e. it takes forever and you also cant get a detailed URL report of a user Not finding much that does work with Watchguard nowadays! Robbie

Do any FE Colleges run SAP? Possibly for their HR processes(Recruitment/Payroll), Marketing, Finance, CRM? Would be interested to hear Thanks Robbie

What config do you have on your edge switches? We are using v1910 Core switch is 5500g to be replaced withA5800 shortly. Do you disabled global igmp snooping on core switch and just have on VLAN interface?

Couldnt find anything online so I thought I'd post this in the hope it is of use to someone Not perfected yet but works well 1) create a DNS entry A record in the domain of the email address - Name: Autodiscover IP: of-a-web-server 2) On the webserver create a website autodiscover.your-domain.xx and apply an SSL certificate matching this name 3) If using IIS create a script map so that *.xml is handled by %windir%\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll and allow POST and GET verbs 4) In the website root create a subfolder called autodiscover 5) Create a file in thecalled autodiscover.xml and paste in this code 6) remove the pop or imap section from the list depending what you want users to use (or move one above the other for priority) ?> xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a"> email settings IMAP imap.gmail.com 993 on off on on POP3 pop.gmail.com 995 on off on on SMTP smtp.gmail.com 465 on off on on on off My final hurdle is to grab the email address posted by outlook and put it in a tag as currently it uses the initial part of the email for the username prior to the domain. At the moment I have been try Request.Form and Request.Querystring but cant see the variable it is posting Thanks Robbie Wallis Boston College UK

How do you manage with data protection. I think drop box files are stored in the USA how does that impact on your data protection policy?

How are people going to cope with the new STRONG password rules coming into place? Do you really see learners being able to remember STRONG passwords? Ours have enough trouble remembering numeric ones What about the loss of sky drive? how is that impacting on your plans? I think we may be considering switching to Google Robbie

But you can't get cloud storage with office 365 only crappy sharepoint which for students is not ideal. We are going to run a hybrid system. Office 365 for emails and google drive for cloud storage Robbie

I thought I had knocked up a batch file that would do this, however it ended up resetting everyones password which was impressive . I still dont understand why it did that but if anyone can see it would be appreciated @echo off setlocal #cycle through each folder and set username as foldername for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('dir c:\vol1\staff /b /ad') do ( set user=%%a call :get ) endlocal goto :EOF :get set OK=N call :quiet>nul 2>&1 if "%OK%" EQU "Y" goto :EOF @echo %user% move /Y c:\vol1\staff\%user% c:\vol1\archive\staff goto :EOF :quiet #check if user exists in AD for /f "Tokens=*" %%b in ('net user %user% /domain empire^|Find "completed"') do ( set OK=Y )

Many of us are using live@edu but soon Microsoft will be migrating us to office 365 We had put in place that part of our business plan this year was to start using cloud storage for learners. Windows 8 and the new sky drive client for windows 7 would allow us to map sky drive directly into windows on mass. The problem now is that sky drive will not be a part of office 365 so new learners will not get this. However there is the possibility of mapping user drives to their sharepoint storage on office 365. Does anyone do this on mass currently? for this to work for us it needs to be group policied/scripted Robbie

We have created our guest ssid and tagged it with vlan 150 on the ruckus system We have applied the config to our 3com 5500G switch(original 3com). Yet when you give the laptop a static ip it cannot ping the vlan interface. Any idea what is wrong? interface Vlan-interface150 ip address 192.168.167.254 255.255.248.0 # vlan 150 # Switch port interface GigabitEthernet2/0/20 stp edged-port enable port link-type trunk port trunk permit vlan 1 150 broadcast-suppression pps 1488000 undo jumboframe enable apply qos-profile default #

Hello, We have a campus 3 agreement with enterprise cals From the research I did previously I concluded we are allowed to run sharepoint 2010 internet or intranet sites but without external partner login which is a different cal/external connector license Can someone confirm or deny this as I have been asked to double check http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/schools/software-licensing/types-of-educational-licence/campus-agreement.aspx Here it states Sharepoint for Internet Sites and Office Sharepoint Server ARE included I also refer to the eduserv report which states that universities etc did not have to go to tender for licensing as it was already included in their core campus licensing http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/static/5007/ceispdf/SPfinal.pdf Thanks Robbie

Hello, Having strange problems on redirected folders. Creator Owner is set to full permissions on subfolders and files. When the users folder / document folder is created the user then gets permission on that folder but the problem is it is for "this folder" only. So when we copy some work into that folder for the user they do not get rights to view it Any ideas? http://intranet.boston.ac.uk/permissions.jpg Robbie

Does anyone know of a solution whereby documents stored in a file repository on SP2010 can be "sent" or "shared" to moodle. We keep all our business support files centrally but some documents such as policies & procedures are intended for several audiences. Rather than duplicate this information is it possible to share it to moodle? Robbie

We have a few people participating at college Some good Dirk Diggler look alikes Movember United Kingdom - Home Robbie

Hello, Getting this on some of our laptops. The SLP is set to the IP's of the netware servers and the latest wireless drivers installed yet we still get tree or server not found a fair bit. Windows 7, Intel 3945ABG Wireless and IR4 Novell client. Any ideas apart from removing novell? . It will be dieing a death by september but until then we have to work through the problems Robbie

I was mistaken this wasn't on any of the PC's with the issue Any other ideas? Robbie

I think I have found the root cause. We have some how carried over the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service over to Windows 7 from one of our group policies Event ID: 1530 may be logged in the Application log on a Windows 7-based or Windows Vista-based client computer I'll report back when I'm sure this fixes it Robbie
