I have seen this before. I was looking for something a more simple. Simply drop the file into the input folder, run the script and leave them to convert in the output folder. I will have a look into this - thanks for replying. Will have a look at this also. Thanks for posting. I am going to have to consider what I am going to run this on. I have 3 year old Dell virtual host server with plenty of RAM and CPU power. Or would it be better with a desktop machine that has a GPU? Although I might not have anything good enough.

Hello, We have a folder with hundreds of MP4 files. They all appear to be larger than needed in size. For example one is 720p 20 minutes and is just short of 2GB in size. I was wondering if anyone can help with compressing these down without loosinng qulaity please? I was maybe thinking of using handbrake CLI with a batch file and having an input and output folder? I thought I would ask as this seems something common in with media studies and I guess someone has something already. Thanks

Things are looking good in our state. We have had no confirmed cases in 2 weeks (also one of the highest test rates in the world) and just 7 people being treated. Looks like it will be eradicated. There is talk about opening public places such as pubs etc as soon as this weekend. State borders will remain closed to avoid in infection being re-introduced from elsewhere.

I just appeared a few hours ago.

SANS are a little out of date for this type of deployment. For the past few years I have been deploying Storage Spaces Direct with Hyper-V. A few months ago I deployed by 4th cluster. You can replicate the data between the hosts so if one fails you have no loss of service - but without the need of a shared storage device such as a SAN. A little like putting the servers into a share raid array.

Do you mind if we don't Hijack the thread please?

Thanks everyone!

Hyper-v is a component of Windows Server. It isn't a separate product. Unless you mean Hyper-V Server? This is free https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2016 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-hyper-v-server-2019

Have they been reliable please? How long have they been in service?

I setup a controller in an Ubuntu server VM. This might be useful for you. If you run those commands its pretty much done for you. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/wireless-networks/214756-how-do-you-do-your-unifi-controller.html#post1837642

Hello, I have been looking at Unifi to replace our old wireless system. I have been testing with a couple of APs and all seems good. I was wondering if people who have been using it long term can provide feedback please? What APs do you use and have they been reliable? Thanks

Thanks. It does seem a long way around the houses. Its not particle on a large scale deployment. I have been looking into it more. I should be able to authenticate multiple devices with a single certificate. I need to do some more testing though. Thanks

Perfect. Thanks I want to allow everyone on the wireless. So deny would be the oposite. I don't want to allow everyone on the VPN. So I would use the policy above and another that specifies another group and combine it with another condition to apply for VPN only. That way it the VPN and Wireless policy don't overlap. Thanks for the help.

Doing it based on AD group alone won't work. I want everyone to access WIFI but only some on VPN. Doing it on groups alone will mean that everyone will also have access to VPN. But if both conditions are required in the screenshot I posted in post 1 I can separate them. I can see if you have a a similar config in your second screenshot. Do both those conditions have to be met to allow the user to connect to WIFI please? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hello, I am currently working on our Radius / NPS setup. I have created the attached Network Policy. I only want this to apply to people connecting to the Wireless Network. I want a separate policy for users who are connecting via VPN - I want to restrict this and not have domain users to have access. Are the conditions in the attached screenshot and or are they or? Does the authentication have to meet both conditions or just one please? Thanks PS: I know I shouldn't use Domain Users. I just did this for illustration.

Thanks for the tag. I am still testing Unifi at the moment but this a useful. Thanks

Brill thanks. Its hard to judge how deep we need them for the future! Its going to great a lot of work so going to be a fun project! Thanks again.

Hello, It's been a long time since I have needed to purchase network cabinets. I am needing to replace some very shallow cabinets. I am wondering how deep the ones you have recently purchased are please? They just hosting switches and not servers. Thanks

I have used them for years. In fact I configured it today for a website. They are a non profit organisation that provides free ssl certificates and is funded by big players such as Google, Cisco Mozilla etc. It is used because its easy, certificates are automatically requested and installed. The only admin intervention is when you set it up for the first time. It saves lots of messing about.

I would have a single WIFI for your owned devices and BYOD. You can control what devices are in what VLAN via radius. For example you could set computers in the Domain Computers group in VLAN 10. People in the Students Group in VLAN 20 and Staff in VLAN 30. For guest WIFI have a separate SSD with a captive portal.

Hello, I have Radius authentication configured to only allow computers in the group "Domain Computers" join the network. This works fine for Windows devices joined to the domain. I am wondering what to do about our growing iPad fleet. If I configure user authentication so users could join them to the network using their username and password. However there are 2 drawbacks. 1. I don't want them joining personal devices so how would I stop this? 2. I would rather the devices join without user input to reduce helpdesk tickets. I am assuming I could use some kind of certificate based authentication and deploy the certificate via MDM? This is where there is a gap in my knowledge. I was wondering if someone could help fill in the blank please? Thanks PS: I don't want to use a Pre shared key for these iPads.

I have been doing that but sometimes it’s nice to use the CSR already provided. Also some applications are really fussy! Unifi seems to have issues if you don’t use a certificate provided by their CSR.

Hello, When issuing a certificate if you do not add the CN to a Subject Alternate Name (SAN) you get this problem in Google Chrome - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/internet-related-filtering-firewall/183552-chrome-ssl-certifcate-error.html We are using a Windows CA for our internal certificates. Is it possible to get this CA to automatically populate the SAN with the CN information to avoid this problem please? I am finding some packages are not doing this in the CSR (Unifi for example). This problem doesn't seem to apply with a public CA so I am assuming something is in place to fix this automatically? If so can I apply this to our Windows CA please? Thanks

In all fairness you are using consumer grade hardware. You can’t expect consumers to have change control. They would usually use the latest version. If you was using Optiplex or Latitude with business support you would have a case.

Well that was easy. I installed the latest Ubuntu Server LTS and ran the following commands. sudo apt update sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk -y echo 'deb http://www.ui.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt-unifi.list sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6 echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 06E85760C0A52C50 sudo apt update sudo apt install unifi -y I also installed Cockpit as it's easy to see key server information in a web interface. sudo apt-get install cockpit -y Thanks to those who replied
