No need, Microsoft allow you to view it afterwards - Windows 10: The Next Chapter
-
This has been on the roadmap for a long time (and available on first release) and has been moved to rollout, you have had a heads up for 3 months! Office 365 Roadmap Organize your Office 365 with the new app launcher - Office Blogs
-
During the demonstration someone built a drone in 3d, using the same 'app' as the guy who made the rocket, so be impressed.
-
It's almost all entirely down to BT OpenReach and their inability to maintain their infrastructure. They need to be dissolved and have the responsibility given to someone with a proven track record, something BT has never had.

We are still on Windows 7 as 8/8.1 really didn't seem suitable for the workplace. So we will be looking to move to Windows 10, either summer 2016 (brave) or summer 2017 (safe). Just need to see how it settles down in its first 6 months really.
-
This looked really impressive, especially as they had a working demonstration at the event. Personally I think this would be far more useful in education than tablets, imagine a whole class taking a look at a holographic solar system!
-
Well it's not completely against the formula, they would just need to adapt it by bringing the arch closer to the wings main plane.
-
We are at the foot of the pennines so it's a 50/50 really if it snows heavily, depends how many staff can get in, and the state of the site.
-
It was supposed to snow heavily last night here, but it didn't and now it's raining, so obviously we're open .
-
Do you have a reference for this? Newey stated that the extended nose provided the most uniform air flow to the underside of the car which was why so many teams took up the design.
-
I installed filezilla again recently and didn't have any extras. So yeah another one for filezilla (I see a pattern!).
-
I was really hoping to see more Mercedes/Ferrari style noses (though obviously within the new regulations), but it seems the FIA have seen fit to allow room for these ugly designs. I really can't blame the teams for it as there are some significant aero benefits from having this design.
-
That's just a render so who knows how accurate it will actually be, can't say I'm a fan of the nose.

Had a similar issue with a HP DC5750 a few years ago, after walking it around most of the school I took it back and plugged it back in and it has been fine since then, never found an explanation for it.
-
Yeah pretty painless really, I'm sure Microsoft will probably expand on the admin side of groups at some point in the future, there are a few issues with them as it stands, this one is obviously a bit of a nightmare for Schools, but I would expect also in business. Plus if you accidentally delete a group everything is gone forever, no restore features or recycle bin support currently. I would like to see a sharepoint site added to them too in future. They look very useful for departments though so we are going to trial them with our IT Department.

The current mailbox policies are those listed under: Exchange Admin (on O365) -> Outlook Web App policies
-
It's very simple actually, here is the technet article for it. You can just use regular powershell. Connect to Exchange Online using remote PowerShell: Exchange Online Help
-
We used the powershell command to modify the students mailbox policy, so they are unable to create groups. Worth mentioning that they can still fill out all the information to create a group but when they hit create it throws an error, not exactly the neatest approach but it gets the job done.

Mah computermebobs done gone poof - Recommendations please.

Why stop at 1000 when you could remortgage the house? -
Smoothwall, would you buy it?
JRowley replied to TechBod's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
It was a smoothwall firewall, on a smoothwall server provided by county, branded with the smoothwall name. I am definitely not thinking of any other product, thank you. -
Smoothwall, would you buy it?
JRowley replied to TechBod's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
No idea, I tried contacting the LA, Smoothwall and eventually another school in the area pointed us towards the CSV route, just gave up on the whole thing, if Smoothwall's own support couldn't get it working that was enough for us. Left a bad taste in our mouths, wont touch it again. They actually contacted us recently because they believed we were still one of their customers, had to laugh at that. -
Smoothwall, would you buy it?
JRowley replied to TechBod's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Back when we had it forced upon us by the LA we found it horrendously complex, needlessly so, it claimed AD integration but actually you had to manually import user accounts from CSV which it would then query LDAP against to determine permissions. We dropped it within weeks, sold the box and used Forefront instead. Now we are with virgin we have a Palo Alto firewall.
