OK this tread is not dead, its just there's been a lot of communication re advertising on here.... If you are interested in something W/C 19th May & 9th June please PM me as we are not permitted to advertise directly on here without paying... Preferably send me your work email if possible. regards Steve (How long before this gets taken down....just trying to make this available to schools, there is no income from this for me or my school.....) PS Once I have a list I'll ping you all some details...

Be aware, just received the email to print my badge (not the Carp about meetings etc)

have you tried Group policy modelling? Should tell you what policies apply to whom

Senso?

No we kept the ticketing system really simple and integrated into Office 365 https://www.ivero.net/solutions/HelpDeskPlus/index.html

I'm often told we don't shout about our achievements enough. For example we had a disk failure in the SAN at the weekend, all covered by resilient systems and resolved by Tuesday BUT our SLT are none the wiser Do any of you complete an IT Incident Report (form?) that goes to maybe your SLT that effectively demonstrates or records all the incidents we deal with of say at least a severe level (e.g. likely to impact T&L) That the SLT would otherwise be completely unaware of! I guess I'm either looking at an MS form or a word template? Regards Steve We have a ticketing system, this is more management reporting similar to a cyber incident action report etc

We were an early adopter of Impero from Version1...however after the sell-out the prices went through the roof! WE moved to Senso when the guy that sole Impero was no longer bound by any contractual obligations. I agree you have to invest time in following the setup processes, especially AV exceptions and port /web listings. To be honest its been fairly solid and we also added Teams monitoring last year. We have a team of DSL/IT Staff who are rostered to keep an eye on violations etc. and yes with any key logger you will need to tweak the rules to work for you. The only issue we continue to have is wake on LAN as this required several "relays" to be on perminently to send the WOL signals out I'd not go back to Impero....

I was told this morning an email went out to all site admins....errr, no it didn't??

Just spoken to support, Apparently its a failed server migration. LDAP is also broken so I'm wondering if the LDAP requests are now coming from a different source to the ones permitted on peoples firewall rules?
