I had completely forgotten about this. Just going to learn more now. Thanks for the heads up!

I have to move all our users Home directories from a Windows 2008 R2 server to my newly built 2019 Server. In the past I have tackled large data/ multiple permissions moves with Robocopy, which has involved a seed copy, update changed files and then a cutover date with downtime. I have been thinking about whether DFS can help me here. Could I register the existing 2008 home drive share on DFS. Then add my new 2019 server as a DFS member of the share. Leave them to replicate and eventually remove the 2008 server? It seems too simple – what have I misunderstood?

Cheers! That seems logical - have you found retaining legacy domains as aliases helpful for group email by location? For example headteacher at Primary1 wants to email all teaching staff at primary1.co.uk, but not all trust staff - i would image [email protected] is preferable to [email protected] ? Similarly [email protected] seems preferable to [email protected]

I am interested to hear from people who are planning or already have consolidated schools to a single o365 tenant and the best method for trust communications. For example if i have on my tenant - @Mat.co.uk, and the primary schools on their tenants - @primary1.co.uk & @primary2.co.uk etc. i understand i can move these to the @Mat.co.uk tenant. Would it makes sense then to provide everyone consolidated user with a mat.co.uk account and email address? I could then retire all of the @primaryschool.co.uk domains and force everyone to communicate with the @Mat.co.uk email suffix. Or, i could retain the @primaryschool.co.uk suffixes and add them as aliases to the @Mat.co.uk ones. This second method seems to provide better communications when staff wanted to contact staff within their site. Lastly i could retain the @primary1.co.uk and @primary2.co.uk domain names and not change anything- not provide them with @Mat.co.uk addresses, but then i would have staff communicating through different domain suffixes which seems slightly clunky, but i guess might be the best option. Sorry if i am not being very clear. Any thoughts

Still no further on. I have seen logs on the firewall that suggest some requests from my home IP are successful, - I connect and the firewall describes the connection as Web based mail on SSL, minutes later I try and fail to connect, and the firewall reports the connection as "incomplete". I have raised with our firewall support engineers who are puzzled, but asked whether we use NLB on Exchange 2013, which we do. I am starting to think I need to investigate this. Does anyone know of any links to health check whether NLB is working and configured correctly? Do you think this could be the cause? Thanks,

I have used OWA internally, without a hitch, but not extensively. I will try a days work using only OWA tomorrow. thanks,

Just moved over from Exchange 2007 to 2013 and everything seemed to run smoothly but... When trying to access through OWA, occasionally i cannot connect - timeouts. When i can connect, i the compose a mail but it sometimes (often) fails with a message "The mesage cant be sent because your device isn't connect to the internet" When i do connect, there is a time when i cannot read emails, as if i have been disconnected. It almost seems like the service is toggling on and off, but my connection to the internet stays constant. I am thinking the firewall is dropping the connection, but just wanted to know if anyone had come across anything similar. We never had this problem with Exchange 2007, but 2013 is a very different beast.

Thanks for the quick reply, but when i click on purchase services, i get the following message; There are no trial or paid subscriptions available to you at this time. This could be caused by one of the following: There are no subscriptions available in your country or region. You have already subscribed to all available subscriptions.

I am having the exact same problem. I have signed up for the A3 trial, thinking i would be able to immediately swap over to A2, but i am unable to select it as an option. Were you able to resolve this?

Sorry i can't help, but their marketing campaign must be strong this year as our scince teacher has asked if we can afford it. Is anyone using classroomvideo ? Could do with your expereince if possible.

Well... We have the safe seach enforcement checked in V6, but this is not enforcing safe search for Google.

We have V6 just testing it now....

To all the people using Palo Alto for filtering? - how are you enforcing google safe search? As I understand the unit cannot enforce this setting which seems astonishing for such a feature rich piece of kit.

We have an MC1500 that we currently use alongside an IPCOP box. The IPCOP is currently doing the DHCP/Firewall work, - firewalling 192.x traffic towards our curric addressed proxy. We want to replace the IPCOP with a more enterprise class firewall/filter and would like the Meru to be a DHCP server for about 4 networks that will be vlan'd. Anyone using the DHCP server on the Meru controller in this fashion? Would you recommend it?

Your a star...cheers. Hopefully i can knock a plan up and see what you guys think.
