So Seems I can't find a host that does both, maybe back to Krystal as @Edu-IT and @NokiX have said they support .sch.uk and then someone else for the .school ones.

Why is this so difficult - WebhostUK now say they cannot support .sch.uk (having initially said they could!), and neither can netristar. Anyone know a registrar (other than TSOHost or SWGfL) that supports .sch.uk domains, otherwise I will have to move the hosting to a new provider and leave the domains with TSOHost. Cheers

So Krystal don't support .school domains... http://www.webhostuk.co.uk as recommended by @maya currently looks like front runner

They scheduled it, I was happy where I was but they are apparently decommissioning the servers - not impressed with the hosting going from £50 to £160 pa either!

Just to add to this thread for anyone who finds the topic - I want to scream at TSOHost who migrated us to their new server on Saturday and both school sites I host with them have been down in one form or another since (into day 3 now). Looking at Krystal from comments above the free migration they offer seems good, as well as not the huge costs that TSO now want to charge me!

I don't like the idea of dump it all, there is far too much that people don't know they need until a certain time of year, that said we migrated our student facing shares in one weekend the week they closed schools as realised the remote access solution we had had a fault that no one had told us about and we hadn't seen. We have subsequently moved all student home drives and the staff shared drive also onto OneDrive/SharePoint. It was not without the odd glitch, but we did it without compromising security and as currently 98% plus of our users are remote it was the right thing to do to continue functioning (we are trying to support running a full virtual timetable!). That said I have a 200Mb on Gig bearer internet and 10Gig backbone around site with Gig to the desktop, with 2016 HyperV's, so will be increasing internet bandwidth on return but happy that our infrastructure is up to it, so we are in a very different position to you by the sounds of it, I'm lucky to have a school that has long understood the need to invest in IT infrastructure.

Can't say I've experienced it as we havn't forced password resets in a couple of years, current (even before COVID-19) best practice advice from the NCSC/GCHQ was not to force user password periodic resets, so it maybe easier to disable the expiration all together?

Just had a mailing from Crusader saying they are now the new home for the Rugged headphones Hills used to do - so good news there

I've now found that a GP with Scope filtered by security group seems to fail, but one with item level targeting on the actual Drive maps and "Authenticated Users" at the top level seems more reliable.

I've been fighting some drive mappings not working also, same domain setup, what windows 10 version is the offending/ working machines on?

Thanks, yes, using that I've identified that my Student policy in my Password Settings Container is working but my staff one is not, all staff and technicians are getting the "Default Policy" It looks like it cannot find Universal Security Groups, only Global ones, having changed the security group to a Global one it now correctly applies, but wondering what caused me to change it to Universal before and therefore what I might now break!

Thanks but that is the Password Settings Container I already mentioned - so not the cause

Not sure if this is Windows 10 or Server 2008R2/2012R2 related so posting here to start with. All my technicians have started getting reminders from Windows that their password is due to expire, however the setting for password expiry is not set in any GPO's and the Password Settings Container on my 2012R2 DC does not have any expiration set. Really confused as to what is causing it, and why it has started, the only network change we have made is to enforce MFA in our linked O365 accounts, but I can't find anything related to that causing password expiry on local AD users. Anyone else experienced anything or have any idea. Thanks Guy

I have a linx 12x64, running as a full domain joined after reinstalling a pro win10 and finding the drivers, not the fastest but very capable

Sounds like spin to me!

I'm using OS ticket to support a secondary (IT and Premises) and 14 primaries, all tickets categorise based on email address and are only visible based on technician groups. Doesn't do absolutely everything but much smarter than the spice works we used to have, and no annoying adverts

An update for anyone else having this problem or coming across this: With a bit of help from a friend we have changed this line: #bookingday .body .col, #bookingday #resources div { height: <%=Math.Round(110.00 / (rez.Count + 1), 1) %>%; } to this #bookingday .body .col, #bookingday #resources div { height:5em; } in HAP\BookingSystem\Default.aspx which has resolved the issue for us.

2digit year of entry followed by initial then surname, was the same as staff and had students who were there before staff having emails that looked like staff, couple of near misses where stuff was sent to the student and leadership agreed to me adding numbers!

The Motorola XTNi are nice radios - very well built (or XTNiD if you want a display) - at the other end of the scale I bought and re-programmed (most sold on eBay are actually not programmed with frequencies that are legal in the UK!) some Baofeng BF888s at £10 each (plus £15 for a programming cable) and when someone breaks/looses one I don't loose any sleep (and we do have 24 of them so a large sum to buy all Pro radios to do the job) - just looked back and ours are 28 months old and I have had 2 failures. The only thing I didn't pick up on earlier is with the XTNi you have without a display you need to know what CTCSS/DCSS codes have been programmed on the channels, if you buy new ones with a screen then you can scroll through till you find it (although it might take a while) unless you know the supplier they were purchased from and they can give you the programming list they set it to. Alternatively talk to your local Raynet team and they can probably help you work it out if you ask nicely! Hope that helps.

Hi @fiza, any manufacturers radio that is PMR446 will work with any other. Alternatively you might want to look at a Business Radio Licence which allows you to transmit at higher power (on compatible devices) if like us your site stretches the range of PMR446 low power so we had dead spots in the corners if you were on opposite sides of the site, we have all Site staff, IT Support staff and staff on duty at break/lunch using them now, with different channels programmed to avoid too much traffic.

Home Access Plus has a great booking system, and it's free, even if you only give the booking system function out, but does take some setup

I realise this is an old thread, but having just come across it I am wondering the same, and can't find that string in a search of all files within my HAP directory - which is confusing me! @rodsco did you ever find out?

TSO Host for us also - no cost for full DNS management of .sch.uk domains even if you are not buying any other services from them

PM'ed you the code @DPenfold
