Yes, I had to set the pvid to the correct vlan for each end device as well as setting the port to untagged. Leaving uplinks to pvid 1. This is likely your issue.

If I remember correctly the net gear switches had a auto voice vlan and auto video vlan as vlan 2 and vlan 3. Might be this?

Sounds like they haven't set any acl for their networks gateway which then is allowing routing between subsets on the wan. Definitely recommend introducing your own firewall or even better move away from their network. This would, in my opinion, be a breach of data protection, it enables any body who has infiltrated another schools system to internally attack other schools networks. Very serious and poor response by your gfl provider.

Atomwide shows profit for last year at £1.9m, surely they can use that to vastly improve their services. Glad we as a school moved away from their services 5/6 years ago, doesn't seem to be any better now then it was then.

I suggest you look at SSH into the server, Sudo to elevate then use nano to change the configuration file to point to the correct www root directory with permissions so you can edit files without sudo.

I would strongly recommend talking with a supplier about getting a wireless survey done, listing your requirements including future proofing (as it is unlikely you will get given 10s £k again). We used Softcat to do a wireless survey and recommendation on wireless systems that would suit our needs. As @DGardiner has said, you will need some high end APs so likely cost £800 per unit and if running higher bandwidth then more then likely one per classroom or two classrooms.

Did you receive this information by email, I haven't seen anything so assume it is only some customers or locations affected?

When we moved to hikvision we had some Trendnet of these which are almost identical. The connect fine but you can also load the hikvision firmware on them too.

I would use the following, haven't tested it. #Import columns sOld and New from csv file (must be stored in location PS script is run from). $usernames = Import-Csv usernames.csv foreach ($u in $usernames) { #Take ownership to avoid permission issues takeown /f $u.sOld /R /D Y /A #Copy the files in Mirror mode (swap /MIR for /E if you want keep destination files if any exist) robocopy \\fileserver\share\$u.sOld \\fileserver\share$\$u.New /MIR /R:1 /W:5 /Z #Set student as Owner again $domuser = "domainname\$u.New" $accnt = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($domuser) $acl.SetOwner($accnt) Set-Acl \\fileserver\share$\$u.New $acl dir -r \\fileserver\share$\$u.New | Set-Acl -AclObject $acl }

I have been told Ubiquiti doesn't need LoS but can bounce around buildings (along with others) if not too far but you would loose speed. Don't hold me to it as that's just word of mouth. I would talk to a specialist. You could look at mounting poles to get elevation over the buildings.

We have a catering company who have their own BT line for the own computer. The BT line is installed into the canteen office and their pc plugs direct into their hub. No they do not route BT lines over our cabling, although if needed I would offer to host the equipment and then route a single "uplink" to them if needed. For security, even with VLANs I would not allow it to go across our network. This would also affect SLA etc. Our managed wireless allows us to block their ssid (in conjunction with them not using wireless) only hard wired. But they have it turned off now.

Thanks, that will do just fine

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some LTO plastic cases from? Looking around the usual easy places to order from but they seem to be only available in USA. These things: https://www.tapeandmedia.com/images/lto-case.jpg Only need 20. TIA, Tom

We have year groups rather than yoe. Same for the documents folders so staff that have access to them can find it easily. No too much of an issue here as we wrote it into the scripts when we moved away from our LA accounts which did the same.

We use 2 links on all switches. Looking for 10gb single links as a bandwidth upgrade soon and a 1gb backup link.

Excel to IT teachers to give out, usually by merge to stickers in their planners.

My understanding is that no it is not legal. Educational use is for lessons, what you would be doing I would class more as advertising, you would need to pay royalties and get authorisation to use the music. Most likely if you did upload it, the music would be either muted or they would put adverts over the top to claim the royalties to the right owner. I believe there is another thread I was part of in the past where I asked a similar question which had more legal answers, sorry I cannot find it now but someone will probably point you in its direction.

Sorry, I mean bypass the firewall rules as well, so within smoothwall interface allow all ports outbound from the device you need to connect.

Out of interest, what borough/area is the school in?

We had similar issue with dell vworkspace at our LA. The only way I could get around this short term was to bypass the whole firewall rules and filtering, turns out some file doesn't get downloaded and shows an error saying file missing. Not sure what we changed but seems to work now anyway. Sorry I can't be more help on this issue. Have you checked it is in authentication exception too?

I don't see how paying for printing a colour page, then paying the cost of printing black and white would possibly be cheaper then paying just for the colour page. Unless your colour printing is really expensive?

Same here, moved to DNA + School right now from Impero, too many bugs and pricing is a joke.

Use cmd to set a route for internet 0.0.0.0 and point it to an ip that doesn't exist?

I am sooooo glad I have handed this system over to an admin lady in the recent months (just before they made the change of death). Who on earth decided this new system was a good idea?
