Hi, thanks for replying. This is what I have setup in WSUS.

Hi all, We use WSUS in my school and i have set it up to install updates on a Friday evening, but it seems that it chooses to do it on a Thursday when and will install the updates and restart when people are using the PCs even though I have setup an install time (Friday 17:00) and active hours (08:00 to 17:00) so not sure why this is happening. Here is a screenshot of part of the GPO: Have I missed something? We currently have Window 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB on all client machines. Cheers

Most things should have been migrated. Our license for SIMS has expired anyway.

Hi all, Is there a uninstall procedure for the SIMS server? As we are now with Arbor, so need to remove SIMS from the server. Cheers

Hi, I am setting up Teams for my school and the web version keeps crashing and getting these sort of errors: I keep having to refresh. I have started using the desktop version which is working fine, but was wondering if this is effecting others? Cheers

@Chris_Cook Thanks mate. It is for my home, I have IP Camera's at the front window looking at the front path and at the back window looking at the garden. I have motion sensored lights at both areas so have turned off the IR on the camera's, as they would just reflect off the windows. Both look good and I have heard good and bad things about both. Might just set up both bits of software and see which I get on better with.

Hi all, Due to system failure I am having to rebuild my home server. I used iSpy for the CCTV software but found it buggy. I am looking at the free versions of Milestone and Luxriot. Any recommendations? Cheers

Hi @mavhc no it is just for one site, thanks mate. I am in contact with both Focus Networks who supply Exa and Schools Broadband, will contact Wave9 as well. See how they come up against SWGFL. Cheers

Hi Dave, I was in discussions with Rob, in September and will pick these up again soon. Many thanks

Hi all, We are due for our broadband renewal in about 4 months, so I am looking around and was wondering if anyone could recommend a supplier? The school is currently on SWGFL. Many thanks

Course forgot about Always-On VPN couldn't remember the name. Has anyone set this up yet? Cheers

Hi all, Is there a good parental control app for android phones? My son has is first phone. I have setup google family, but he's 10, has emotional difficulties and gets nervous when he receives messages he doesn't recognize and often asks me to check them out. Cheers

Hi all, Hope you are well. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for setting up Direct Access on Server 2016? Want to set up for my school. Cheers

My step son has a android phone we want to put some sort of messaging and video call app on, but he's only 10 and he's too young for WhatsApp and his dad's totally against it. Is there a child friendly WhatsApp alternative out there? Cheers

Hi all, We have student making up and sending inappropriate forms to students and staff. Is there a way to access and delete these as admin? Cheers

Hi, we think we have figured out the issue. There was updates to our website and it looks like somebody has accidently deleted the record pointing to the direct access link. We are waiting for confirmation. Thanks everyone for their help.

I have run the DirectAccess Client Troubleshooting tool: Interface test is tick IP Connectivty Tests failed Windows Firewall Test and Certificate tests passed. Infrastructure Tunnel and User Tunnel test failed.

Still not working, tried it at home yesterday. All the ticks are green in the operation status but I don't know enough about it, as I said no documentation was left for it. The direct access VPN stays on connecting and the Get-daconnectionstatus is error could not contactdirectaccessserver I have found I can ping the DA server when connecting to an external connection, but I just cannot do anything else.

Hi, I have added the DNS entries and went back through the infrastructure setup anbd ensured the certificate was added, and we have all greens on the ticks.Yay!!!!! Just need someone to test. Thanks for all the help.

Here is what I have in DNS:

Hi mate, yeah I have tried a reboot. Tried a restore and checked the GPO all seem ok, but I still have the error and no connection to DA. Not sure if related but I was getting a load of DNS errors yesterday, with DNS Bad Key in event viewer. I found that one of the DNS servers could not resolve its IP in, DNS -> name servers. I resolved it manually and instantly all those issues stopped. Should the bindings in IIS on the Direct Access server be linked to IIS certificates?

The server is still attached to the domain ok. Sorry mate, how do I go about resetting network location service?

Hi all, The Direct Access system in a school I inherited has stopped working. I have no idea of the original setup as there was no documentation left. We are getting a critical error for the Network Location Server. I have checked the certificates and none have expired, I have checked the Default Site bindings in IIS, where there are 4 entries but none have SSL certificates selected. One I have noticed after doing some research that there is no DNS entry for the Direct Access NLS, which is the same server as the DA server. I have never setup a DA system so I am learning as I am going, so any help and advice would be appreciated. Cheers P.S. I have also just noticed an error in the infrastructure setup. Worrying as the servers are the same.

Hi all, Not sure if everyone has seen this: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00092491en_us We have a couple of servers that are included in the scope of this issue, but need to find out the model numbers of the hard drives to make sure that I install the right firmware version. Is there a software way to find what hard drives I have, as I would rather not have to shut down the servers to remove the hard drives to find the model numbers? I have checked device manager, HPE System Management, Sysinfo etc. but nothing. Cheers

Hi all, The head of IT asked to have setup a webserver for students to do web development with. We have setup the server with Xampp, but the teacher also wants to setup mod_userdir to direct to the student home drive share, thats on another server. Is this possible? We have tried linking to the user share with the help of this doc https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_userdir.html, which we can get to work on the webserver, but cannot seem to get it to work via the user home share. Thanks
