This is the second major outage this week. Whilst everyone in the UK was tucked up in bed we was pulling our hair out here.

Hello, I have created an SCCM package (using the tools built into SCCM) I don't want the attached screen to show during install. Previously I set this in configuration.xml However the box still displays. Any thoughts please? Thanks

I did. Most of them suggest downloading and viewing the HTML files. 30 mins later the first one still hasn’t opened due to the images. There doesn't seem to be anything that including importing data back into messenger.

Helllo, My Girlfriend has accidently deleted our Facebook Messenger messages. This is around 18 months worth of data. I still have them on my account. I downloaded them from my Facebook in HTML format. However it takes ages for them to open and ideally it would be better to have them in the app. Is there a third party tool I could use to re-import them back into her messenger please? Or maybe there might be a way to forward the entire conversion to her? She is pretty upset about this so any advice would be grateful. Thanks

Maybe via text message?

I really don’t see the point in doing this. Surely it’s all insured? Register your serial numbers with the police. If anything turns up you will get it back. I had this happen back in 2011.

We have a network that consists of 20 sites. Some of them are a plane journey away. If we use DHCP with reservations we can make a change centrally instead of visiting the device.

I thought Virgin was HFC / Coax rather than FTTC using traditional BT copper pairs?

I don't know about the firmware but I haven't found them to be that much more expensive.

Hello, We are in the middle of a WAN rollout in both South Australia and Victoria. Most of our connections are fibre the the cabinet (or fibre the the node here). The infrastructure is called NBN and is government owned. Some of our sites are in small towns and the middle of nowhere and are getting just over 100 megabit connections. Some sites are throttled down to 50 megabit - this is due to DSL being the same area, once this is moved onto NBN the speed will increase. This connection is the worst type they offer. There is also provide: Fibre to the curb HFC (coax like Virgin Media) Fibre To the premises. I ordered an NBN connection for my house. For 50 megabit I pay around £25 per month. I placed the order at 11am and the connection was live at 1:15pm. The router hadn't yet arrived but ISP is open to you using your own equipment. During peak hours the speed doesn't drop below 40 megabit. People complain about NBN here. But when I read this thread it reminded me how bad the UK system in in comparison: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/internet-related-filtering-firewall/217507-slt-want-faster-broadband.html Why is it so bad in the UK? Is it because Open Reach is privately owned and doesn't see the same level of investment? I would be interested to see what you guys think. Cheers

Cost savings. They now only have to make 1 form factor instead of 2.

I looked at them but they had missing features that I needed. Off top of my head a few were: Stacking DHCP Snooping Dynamic ARP Inspection Automatic Error Disable Recovery BPDU Guard I did go unifi wireless and it’s been a good experience so far.

I am currently deploying around 70 Cisco 9200L switches. They are great. Got a good price. They are very universal. You can add stacking modules and second power supplies at a later date. We have replacing a whole mix of switches. Older Cisco, D-Link, Netgear, HP Procurve, HPE and Aruba are just a few. The Aruba switches are around 3 years old and they have been reasonably good switches. No complaints.

The new iPad airs use the Apple Pencil 2. This charges wirelessly.

I did have issues with that when I set it all up. Its stable and running. I went through the wizard and clean it up WSUS.

Deleting the client didn't make a difference.

It does seem the norm for every student in Australian schools to have an iPad. The UK does seem to be behind with 1:1 devices.

How do you mean please?

I will try this!

You could host a VM in Azure. It is shoehorning it though.

Does anyone else have any thoughts please?

Thanks for the responses folks. A few of the suggestions are not available in Australia (A common problem here!). However IKEA is so it looks like that will be the route to go down. Thanks

Are these Samsung Galaxy phones or Samsung Wireless IP Phones?

Thanks for the replies. This is completely new so I did t have a clue what I was doing.

Do you need the hub? I don’t have one. I don’t really intend to get one.
