I'm looking for a tool that simply allows an end user to login and access on-prem windows shares from off-prem networks in a web browser, which is secure and enforces all the correct NTFS permissions. Is that one of the things that HAP+ does? If so, what is the support status of this tool? Does it have a roadmap for the future? Is it being actively developed and bugs fixed now? I can see that there is a good community here but I'll need more than that to persuade others commit to it. If the answers are negative - does anyone know of other tools which might do what I want? The answer for us isn't Onedrive etc at the moment as there's 3+TB of data which would need migrating. Cheers, Ian

Very happy with Synology here as basic storage. We don't run any VMs directly from it though - you'll have to specify some nice fast disks.

We (not a school) did a merge about 18months ago. The process was as you described, but we had to wait quite a while (2-3 days) before before we could re-register the domain in the main tenancy. Things may have improved more recently.

At the risk of hi-jacking the thread - we're thinking of buying Fortinet so will follow with interest any feedback...

Just a quick update to say that we've extended the closing date on this for another week - now closing 23rd Feb. If anyone wants an 'informal conversation' then please contact me, rather than the stated contact, as Matt is on holiday this week.

Think about it. Why do we talk about PAT testing? Which makes sense: Portable Appliance Testing testing, or Portable Appliance Tester testing? Semantics aside, you want to be testing (with differing frequencies according to risk), all your electrical devices whether 'portable' or not. I'd include those without a 3-pin plug too! I

Not what I was taught. PAT stands for Portable Appliance Tester. i.e it's your tester that's portable, not your electrical devices. You're supposed to be testing everything that isn't tested by the people who test your fixed electrical installation. Of course stuff that doesn't move is probably less risky, so probably doesn't need testing so often.
