Honestly never seen it work that way even on 7, it's either you had the warning show which the warning says "click here to bitlocker etc", or you had it turned off and it'd block it You got any screenshot of it working on 7, maybe I'm misunderstanding which popup you mean? Steve

That might be why if you're blocking it in Control Panel as it uses that wizard, as that popup is one that allows them to run said wizard to encrypt it Have you tried putting bitlocker back on CPanel as the only option? Also I take it you haven't disabled Control use of BitLocker on removable drives? Steve

Not really sure what you mean. You want them to reset passwords for an online service? (If so which one?) Or for their whole account via AD? You say about where SSO isn't used for a website, but if it's not there it's not going to sync their AD password so resetting that wouldn't help. If it's for a certain website, every one is going to have different options to reset it etc Steve

Err iirc 1903->1909 is a different update as 1903 already had 1909 in it, just was a small patch to enable it Check in WSUS for something "via enablement" Steve

It should pop up by default when it's entered still, I take it you don't have separate GPOs for 7/10 and might have missed a setting? (or added too many to block bitlocker access) - Edit - Also, Do you have Bitlocker enabled for them to access on Control Panel? Or did you block it? Steve

Had a look at it previously, but didn't really see the point overall (But I guess now with more remote working etc might be more useful). Original reason being as it requires a users personal email and/or phone number, for students they can't access those in school in the first place to reset them (and wouldn't want to store those details personally), and staff on-site wouldn't bother using it Steve

But if a password is seen/leaked, it stops them accessing it (for example, student sees teacher log in to pc, later in day student logs on pc and has SIMs access etc). And in regards to your disabling comment, I mean normally it should work the other way around If they're left in SIMs it sync's back to AD using your normal "tools" etc, but guess it depends how you're setup etc Steve

Personally we keep them separate still, auto-login could have issues with people accessing data they shouldn't etc, and unless people are moving around the building lots they're only going to log in once normally in a day Steve

As long as you aren't using any downstream servers etc on old versions yep, that warning was 2012/r2 for the ESD fixes only iirc Steve

If you're doing a full site upgrade, any reason you don't just remove them all, and then re-push it out as new clients to the teaching OU etc? There are scripts on here that resolve the issue with deployment and matching IDs etc, but that's normally used for a single rebuild etc where you don't want to keep removing them, but if it's an entire site at once would be easier to remove all Steve

I guess the difference in that regard is the law/guidelines says new stuff doesn't have to be tested as it should be supplied safe (should etc ) Steve

On a side note, any luck with trying an export? If not I can boot a few VMs later and see if I can get something working Steve

Aye, but with FSL it's still based on a per-user cache that's roaming effectively, not something that's shared is it? So yes it stops the need to create a new cache per machine, but certainly doesn't seem to work in the way that paragraph suggests (especially with it being a serverless blog ) The paragraph previously to the one I quoted above suggests the article is talking about something with cross-user ability: Just sounds like it's suggesting it should be working like DropBox's LAN Sync does, accessing files across the network before going online. Thanks, Steve

Good Afternoon All, Been doing a bunch of research on serverless setups recently and noticed there's a new post on theserverlessschool last week that talks about OneDrive using a local cache across workstations, and wondered if this is something new I've not heard about or whether there's some misunderstanding in how the cache works (normal one for FoD): https://blog.theserverlessschool.net/2020/08/its-local-file-cache-just-not-as-you.html Sounds like it'd fix a lot of issues in regards to going Cloud and Internet losses etc, but can't seem to find anything related to this anywhere else! Many thanks, Steve

Ah, guessing yeah might be settings already on it then In theory though that cable despite it's fancy name is just a standard 2.5mm to RS232 isn't it? If you get a cheapy one to try it Steve

Can't you just use DHCP + wizard? That article is designed really badly, but it seems they're splitting down the individual resolutions per model of card, so says Card 2 should work with DHCP and then could use the wizard? Or have you got it setup in such a way you can't use that? Steve

I'm gonna guess it's the static routes missing, but I don't get why you're enabling routing if you want these VLANs (2,3,100) separate from your main network/DHCP etc Or is it only routing on other VLANs that aren't those 3? Steve

So just to confirm on your smoothwall: You have DHCP server enabled You have the 3? interfaces you're using ticked And then 3 profiles setup one for each of those ranges? Then those interface ports are under your list of config above? Steve

Yep Seems so, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do. If they're on the same VLAN as the DHCP server (if you're using multiple) you shouldn't need to use IP helpers as they broadcast on said VLAN (IP helpers are when it can't get a response on it's own VLAN) As long as each device is configured (server wise) to respond to the correct scopes etc it shouldn't make any difference. So currently, what clients can/can't get an IP address? Are any working via either windows or smoothy? Steve

Is there a certain VLAN it's a problem with or lots? You seem to have multiple DHCP servers listed? VLAN 1 - ip helper-address 192.168.1.6 VLAN 10 - ip helper-address 10.10.0.5 VLAN 10 - ip helper-address 10.10.0.3 VLAN 100 - ip helper-address 192.168.4.2 Which of these 4 are your DHCP servers? As all the VLANs should be pointing to the same helper address Steve

This isn't what the setting is designed for, it's to cut short a delay if it's taking longer than expected. It won't just make it appear slower. What programs do you want to load before the desktop appears? Might be another way to resolve it Steve

I assume you enabled DHCP-relay on the core too if it's not already enabled too? You got the config of what you got setup available to see? Might be quicker (obviously without any passwords etc ) Steve

Well in all fairness the fact that 3 people who replied haven't understood what you asked is why I'm asking, because you're asking something without giving us the proper information... But anyway, will leave it there if that's the attitude Steve

Well not sure what you mean in regards to all over the place, there's one product you need to backup 365. This also has a 30 day trial, and basic pricing stance on the site: https://www.veeam.com/backup-microsoft-office-365.html But if I'm honest I'm not even really sure what you want anymore so bit hard to give any opinions on the products you mentioned You're now talking about AWS, is that your storage? The vendors doing it for you? In a nutshell, is it just a simple backup 365->"another cloud" you want doing? Steve

Are they both part of the same VM group (Within HyperV)? Think most backup software only supports it if so using shared VHDs. Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of a SQL cluster on a cluster? Seems to be kind of counter productive, unless it's just for maintenance on said SQL server? Steve
