I use Tanium, its expensive but really good. I think you need a minimum of 500 endpoints though.

I once had a similar issue, the teacher made such a fuss I ended up going to his house. He'd turned off the wifi on his laptop (button on the side), turned it on and it was all good (he didnt even offer me a cup of tea).

We use Tanium, it's amazing but not desperately cheap.

Is this just for Schools IT or any IT?

The company I work for (none educatrion) went from Dell to Lenovo and we've really regretted it, we're not happy with the spec and build quality. We're moving back to Dell shortly.

I've used the Qnap cctv software which works well, used it for a bird box camera (full discolour I have a qnap for sale at the moment).

I'm selling a 10 bay qnap at the moment if you want something cheap?

Hello all, I'm selling my QNAP TS-1079 Pro 10 Bay NAS storage with x6 disks if anyone is interested. Has two 10Gbps network cards so would be great as storage for veeam backups etc. Comes with x6 4TB disks. I used it as a home lab, storing photos and a plex server. With so many streaming services etc I just dont use it anymore. Looking for £400, its heavy so postage would be around £25.

Have you seen this? I've been considering running it post build. https://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/4378-windows-10-11-decrapifier

If you take a 192.168.0.0/21 and break that down to /24 you get this: Subnet address Range of addresses Useable IPs 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.0 - 192.168.2.255 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254 192.168.3.0/24 192.168.3.0 - 192.168.3.255 192.168.3.1 - 192.168.3.254 192.168.4.0/24 192.168.4.0 - 192.168.4.255 192.168.4.1 - 192.168.4.254 192.168.5.0/24 192.168.5.0 - 192.168.5.255 192.168.5.1 - 192.168.5.254 192.168.6.0/24 192.168.6.0 - 192.168.6.255 192.168.6.1 - 192.168.6.254 192.168.7.0/24 192.168.7.0 - 192.168.7.255 192.168.7.1 - 192.168.7.254 Used this to generate. So you could use 192.168.*.1 as the GW for each vlan. Set these up on the switches and then make matching DHCP scopes.

Yellowstone on Paramount+, its fantastic. Feels like a cowboy (as in cowboys who ride horses, not poor tradesmen) version of The Soparonos.

Its a VM for me but you could host a VM somewhere else in case you have hyper v issues, maybe in the cloud if you're happy to set it up?

Hello, You could use split DNS and force users at home to use external DNS servers rather than internal? https://directaccess.richardhicks.com/2017/12/26/directaccess-nrpt-configuration-with-split-dns/

There's a chance after the defrag the DB might complain it did a unclean (dirty) shutdown so you might have to run: Eseutil /R

I think I'd take the broken database offline first, open powershell as admin, find the folder with the DB in it and run: Dismount-Database Staff Then run a defag and repair (make sure you have plenty of space on the disk first): eseutil /P Staff Cant hurt if its broken already, these might help: https://practical365.com/defrag-exchange-2010-mailbox-database/ https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/how-to-use-eseutil-for-exchange-database-repair/
