Morning all, I hope everyone is well and I hope everyone has had a good weekend!! Well, I'm on with a project which is to do with Roundcube and subdomains. Does anyone know how to split down domain with roundcube ? For example, if you had [email protected] - how can I set this up in roundcube ? I want to give each customer 5 email addresses. I have done this before with webhosting, but I'm not webhosting I'm email hosting for customers, but would it be managed with a web control panel on my side and just set customers up as and when ? I'm using Linux Servers - this is only a test project but something im looking to implement in the future. Thanks all. Chris.

RM CC4 to Vanilla Windows
cpjitservices replied to netman2012's topic in Network and Classroom Management
Well one of the Pros will be licensing... go Vanilla... It's cheaper especially since you have the same Certs as what I have and you should be more than capable to manage and support it Vanilla yourselves. I have migrated many networks from RM/Novell so if you want any advice or you have any questions then feel free to PM me. I also look after several Vanilla networks and am currently aiding a college in migrating from Netware to Vanilla. -

Like to Like Devices - require cross over cables, switch to switch - router to PC etc. Usually with auto-sensing it doesnt matter but it can still be an issue.

I've had a price of £200, It's a PCB and Lazer problem, have already replaced lazer but Discs still jumping. Wont get another lazer put in as I dont want to keep spending money on them - so next thing to replace is PCB. These are Denons and I've had them a good few years and they've done many a gig, the school I got them off had them a few years before me although seldom used. SO a new set will set me back £250 - have looked on ebay and will keep my eyes open for a bargain. Cheers all.

A while ago, I bought a set of decks from a school (similar to whats in pic) - They have now stopped working and I'm in need of a set for a gig I've got coming up soon. Cant afford to buy new ones at present... not decent ones anyway!!!! The set I have now are 15, and the lazers & motors have gone Just wondering if anyone had any sat in a cupboard that I could buy, maybe for the price of some EduBeers and some postage!! So if anyone has any sitting anywhere unused... I could sure show them some love!!! Cheers everyone!! Have a great week!!!!

Remote Desktop Connection for non admin users
cpjitservices replied to talksr's topic in Network and Classroom Management
We use VNC for that kind of thing, nice and easy quick remote access using machine hostname and password. -
Ive always done server management on my local machine, never dial into servers unless necessary. However, at the moment my local machine isnt actually on the domain so it's hard to manage the servers using RSAT - Once I get my domain machine back Ill be able to manage everything remotely, I installed 2012 and thought "is this an upgrade or a downgrade from 2008 R2 ?" It was slow to use, I couldn't get it working properly on VMWare ESXI, couldnt get it to work at all on KVM and then gave up... If I cant run it virtual - whats the point ?? I did get it working on one of my desktops as a quick test, it works but I can't get used to the interface and I figure that if I have to use Server Core I may aswell use Linux.

When I was working at college as a Tech, I had young'uns under me, I'd actually take them on jobs with me that came in this could be anything like network problems/printers/laptops/PC's etc etc. They usually got given a limited admin guest account so that they could do basic stuff like change a password. When we were upgrading the Nortel Switches we had the trainees putting the switches in the racks and showing them good cable / rack management etc. One lad bless him, had to call me so he could fix a printer he got really far to fixing it he had it printing again but it needed some alterations in Novell iPrinter so only I could do that but he worked like a champ, he was always running about the college doing little jobs.. He even got to look in the main server room once . The way I looked at it was... The young trainees from school are actually wanting to be in IT, some of them were doing Cisco in school so to get hands on doing stuff was good. We had a test room also with some quite old Windows 2003 servers and machines in there. It was quite and ol store room but it was big so we'd send a couple of them in there and get them learning AD/DNS etc ... I think we put some of the old Nortels in there so they could get everything talking to each other. It was good experience for them.

Yeyyyyyyy fixed it!! And thanks everyone!

I am looking for an x500-1000 to try this too, can't wait actually - I've only ever had it on a PC - would love to put it on an appliance based piece of kit. could someone test something also ? Could someone add all the Security packages, anti-spam, antispam, snort, squid, squid filtering etc etc and see how well the watchguards can cope! Thanks all.
-
At home, I use pfsense with Captive portal and squid/dansguardian for proxying/filtering. Anything that connects via the captive portal is filtered. Its unsecured wifi and the amount of people that try to connect is bonkers, but with it being captive portal all they get is a login page and can go no further unless they authenticate. It's a good trick especially if ya call it free wi-fi lol .

Most if not all those bugs in Apache have been patched.
