Ah I see what you mean, sorry thought you meant like mapped drive style. Aye that's a good idea, I suppose even more it means you don't even need to use GDrive etc on the users devices unless it's for backup etc, they still just use OneDrive as normal and it's all magic in the background. That's a good idea! Thanks, Steve

Aye, did consider doing something like that, but then it'll break their FoD availability on laptops etc while offsite (If you un-map that), else if you leave it in place you'll have issues with people saving back to OneDrive directly, and it not sync'ing across to GDrive/Dropbox etc Steve

The way we did it is to have 4 weekly jobs (separate to normal backup), that run over weekend and do a full backup to a drive. This way you ensure you always have a full backup linked to each drive, easier restore as each is numbered etc, and you then can have them in multiple off-sites too Steve

Good Afternoon All, As a bit of side work, trying to sort some bits out for a small company and struggling to think of an easy way to do something they're requested. Short version, is they currently use OneDrive Business (Using FoD) storage for most their items, but as it's got a lot of archived stuff on (lots of images/videos) etc, they want to make sure it's in two locations, so want to use another cloud service to store it in. Now without duplicating storage locally on every device, is there any nice way to have 2 copies of data in 2 cloud services without manually uploading to both constantly? GDrive doesn't let them use FileStream without Ent account (but that is an option), Dropbox has SmartSync, but even that still has the problem of having to drop files into both areas constantly. I've tried before personally linking one folder to two syncs and it went horribly wrong so that seems out the question Any wonderful thoughts, or tips? Thanks, Steve

Not sure if it’s still an issue but you used to have to modify the connection string on the server else it kept pointing back to the old solus server Either that or remove and reinstall clients If you check on the server are the connection strings still pointing to old server? Steve

I mean had lots like that offer "a chance at..." but not 100% Take it no hidden wordies at bottom?! Steve

I must have missed this previously, but yes we used to run it that way, separate Veeam server with DAS, against cluster (SAN based though), the biggest issue in the chain with speed is normally your raid card doing caching on the Veeam/DAS server. Found this out through doing a test of a separate backup to a single HDD on the Veeam server and speeds rocketed a lot, ended up changing card, so might be worth having a look at that if you are finding it slow Steve

To rephrase my last post as was on phone so tried to do it shorter, basically it works in 3 steps DNS query against - http://www.msftconnecttest.com HTTP Get against - http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt DNS query against - dns.msftncsi.com All 3 of these need to pass for it to get a successful connection, so by default you should have the below two in your filtering/bypasses *.msftncsi.com *.msftconnecttest.com However, in regards to my comment about WINHTTP, my point was that the way you're setting http/https separately was for user based proxies in previous OS's, for Win10 you should only need a single proxy set on the client e.g. proxy-server="sslfilter.swgfl.org.uk:8080" Doing it the legacy way, splitting HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/SOCK5 etc doesn't work in WinHTTP anymore (afaik, if anyone wants to clarify?), I've always just used the single proxy setting, which then will bypass the Smoothie and only be affected by RM/SWGFL filtering which should have both of those whitelisted anyway (Now as a last point, but I assume this was checked earlier in your comments, unless you've disabled activeprobing etc via GPO for any reason? ) Steve

Kenny I did mention it a few pages back but you aren’t supposed to be using http/https settings anymore, that was the old legacy proxy settings for clients, not for system access Try setting the proxy-server direct to the sslfilter etc Or post a screenshot of the current winhttp settings as it’ll show what it’s using Steve

Are you sure they're being created the "right" way? Via the Class Notebook option within Teams? If so they should auto pull everyone who's in the team into it. It sounds like you're manually creating a notebook via OneNote with the way you mention, which then yes will need manually adding to it Steve

And I assume "currently" your router/firewall, DNS/DHCP server etc isn't included in the "non-guest" side you've blocked? Or if it is you've setup a route for the clients to get to the internet/dns etc? Steve

Also depends what your clients IP etc are considering you're blocking a lot of UDP/TCP ports etc What's an example client IP that's blocked? And then what's the destinations that's blocked, e.g. servers etc? switches? firewall? Steve

Your facts seem rather broken... I'd argue that any job there are lots of people who don't deserve a pay rise, which is what he said. Many do deserve it, many don't. That same principle applies to teachers and IT staff for that matter (insert other role as necessary). To assume that every person works the same amount as any other is rather bonkers Steve

In that case I'd go for RJ45 locks rather than a cab. If you haven't seen them before these kind of things (random website to link): https://patchsavesolutions.com/rj45-patch-cable-locks/2684-rj45-lockdown-patch-cord-locks-pair-in-black.html You put them over the ends of the cables, and they tighten with allen key to stop people being to access the plug-end Steve

Never seen anything that size really, either you're talking like a 1U space saver, but that's still going to be wider than an 8 port. Is there space restriction, or another reason you wouldn't consider a bigger one? Just thinking like how you're planning to power it without space for plugs/pdu etc Steve

Does it have to be that small (as in just for the switch), or could you use like a 4u wall mounted? 30cm~ Steve

Are you sure you're setting this in the right bit here? The command should return a proxy address and port number (assuming you're on the normal sslfilter.proxy.swgfl.org.uk:8080), there shouldn't be any http returned in this, and deffo not without a port unless that's you paraphrasing it Can you do a screenshot what's showing when you run netsh winhttp show proxy Or if you prefer doing it reg wise, what is this key set as (FYI shows as hex): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\WinHttpSettings Steve

I think the way you're doing it on the first won't loop over both, but using search on the caption/res might: Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Computer win32_videocontroller | select caption, CurrentHorizontalResolution, CurrentVerticalResolution Or if you're happy with the last one you mentioned baove, try: Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\wmi -ClassName WmiMonitorBasicDisplayParams But that'll return whole lot rather than just the lines you want Steve

I take it running SQLCMD -L on the server shows the server ok? Steve

Have you set a static/fixed port for the connection in config, rather than using dynamic? Just wondering if the old one was fixed, but new isn't Steve

Aren't you missing the user class? Like: (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))) Steve

Err for GSuite pretty sure it was in the account settings/company profile then data region? Normally it'd be done when setup so you might have it done already, think Google it's only US or EU, with 365 you can pick an area like London etc Steve

I know it's kind of a guess stage, but you tried doing netstat -a and checking it's listening on right port? Just incase upgrade etc changed it Guessing it's still 6547 that should be showing on netstat Steve

Aye that'll be the one The other option (at least for new logins) would be deleting the key from reg in the hive, then it'll just populate it from the user, but guessing if it's like that on lots of computers probably easier to do the GPO for now, and have done. If you want to do Initials too you could do it via %username:~0,1% if you want their 1st letter of username etc too Steve
