I'd 2nd the Power Supply. It could be a cheap fix but get one powerful enough for now with a bit of future proofing. Do you have a specialist PC parts store local? I wouldn't necessarily choose the likes of certain high street retailers I could mention, those driven by commission.

They seem to be left behind in the DLSR video market from what I have seen, maybe I am watching the wrong reviews and just focusing on DSLR for video. Many YouTube Videos from vloggers or video makers and there seems to be little mention of Olympus it is mostly Sony, Panasonic or Canon. Is a shame my dad was a lot more into photography than me, I still have his old OM1-n and a few lenses.

I might just wait it out, it is only a lab environment so won't hurt. I have found that MS support are pretty good from years back, after all they want us in the cloud subscription model, lol.

Last night at about 8pm I turned off Azure AD Sync to do some maintenance but it is not letting me turn it back on now. Researched online and found a bit about, won't let you do this within a period of time, a time period of what could not be established 4 to 72 hours, I've only a few users as it is a lab environment? The command I ran last night was PS C:\Apps> Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $false To try and establish sync again I am running PS C:\Apps> Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled -EnableDirSync $true Set-MsolDirSyncEnabled : You cannot turn off Active Directory synchronization. I've gone through this with no resolve yet https://chanmingman.wordpress.com/2020/01/09/office-365-you-cannot-turn-off-active-directory-synchronization/ this shows it is still pending disabling, is it just a waiting game?

I have a 2CH cam and I find the 128GB card ample with 3 hour commutes and holds just over a few days data with my settings. I would not want to go less than 128GB.

Are you using it in same scenario as the users having the issue. i.e. Are you using VPN, RDP etc. Are your staff using the same connection methods when they have the issues? Are the users using the app or web client?

I went for a BenQ EW3280U in the end, all working with the AMP. I did have to swap around the HDMI cables a bit to get HDR working and made a change on the Denon AV amp as the Apple TV was having a few issues picking up the HDR capabilities of the monitor. I couldn't decide on any of the bigger screens and the 32" BenQ is not too much smaller than the 42" I have and for watching YouTube and Movies is fine.

From personal experience I cannot highlight the need to take a backup enough and test it. This was about 10 years ago, we were lucky in the fact that we had just recently fixed all the backup issues that we inherited. 7pm we found out the data had gone, It was a non-school day the following day but we had everything restored by midday. In actual fact re-building the DC sorted out another major issue we'd inherited

Is this of any use, it is a few years old. I'm using FireFox Quantum version 68.9.0esr and recapture is working. https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1218497

AUP is the way to go and get this backed up by SMT otherwise it is pretty pointless. You could prob do other things such as locking on extended periods of unattended, closing lid etc. and require password to unlock. Depending. Then there is Bitlocker etc.

+1 for this, only recommend specs. I've been in a school where the IT curriculum staff had previously brought in representative who recommended a specific model/brand and it did go belly up. If it was for a friend then I probably would but for this I defo would not.

I've seen similar errors on Citrix with redirected profiles, years back. To be honest I have not used redirected profiles for years, brings back too many bad memories. It would be the first place to check out though.

Identify the Domain Controller if you have multiple using the lockoutstatus tool Then in the security section of event viewer on the DC identified search for the keyword of Audit Failure. I cannot remember having to do anything to get this working on my DC at home. That should show source IP address, sample from my home lab below. Failure Information: Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password. Status: 0xC000006D Sub Status: 0xC0000064 Process Information: Caller Process ID: 0x0 Caller Process Name: - Network Information: Workstation Name: HOMEMB01 Source Network Address: 172.16.25.2 Source Port: 55606

Thanks both @FN-GM and @paulkerton I have a decent enough 5.1 surround system so not much too worry about there, apart from the neighbours :-) I only play computer games on a PC which will not be used with the monitor at this stage, although it does sound appealing to get the driving games on the bigger screen.

It depends on the complexity or the network and any business case/need for high availability and redundancy. If you have a flat network or minimal vlans then Unifi will suffice. If you are doing anything fancy (internal OSPF, stacking, multiple spanning tree instances, etc) then you will find that Unifi cannot full fill these requirements as far as I can see. When it comes to phones you will prob need features such as LLDP-MED etc on the switches, a lot of the HP/Aruba switches have this function, I can only think of the HP 2810 which is an older switch that doesn't. You can get smaller midspan injectors with multiple ports still off amazon. I have these at home for specific purposes with 4port and 8port versions but it does not give the flexibility of just been able to plug a phone/AP/CCTV etc. into any live network point as a PoE switch does.

I only have the need for a 43" or max 55" TV and prices of 4K monitors of 43" are around £600. I don't need a projector so wondering if one of these monitors could replace a TV as I do not want or need to receive any terrestrial based stations of even any main stream media. I've blocked even BBC , ITV, and sky websites along with iPlayer through firewall and PiHole.

@bald_pig +1 If you are on a domain use the lockout tool. This will show you what DC you are locked out against. Then log onto that DC and check security audit logs which should point you in right direction. I had to do this quite frequently at previous employment and it worked all of the time.

Do you need a NAT rule by any chance? Does your external IP address of the Smoothwall have a public IP and the Internal server has a private IP (RFC 1918) you will need one. NAT rules are often overlooked, I know I have forgotten to do them on the odd occasion when I've needed to. There should be existing NAT rules I'd of thought. Follow the same principle, I don't have a Smoothwall though. edit: OK so re-reading your post you have indicated that you have setup SNAT on the firewall, my mistake. How are you accessing the VPN externally. Is it via FQDN or IP address. Does the FQDN resolve externally? Have you spoken to Smoothwall support at all?

If you have a switch stack that act as one logical switch then you should be able to have 2 connections between the Cisco and your core switch. I'd suggest you setup the team on the router using 2 spare ports and setup the trunk on the switch using 2 spare ports that way hopefully you will just be able to move back across if you have problems through setup. Setting up trunks between different manufacturers should not be impossible but may take a bit of troubleshooting.

Can you get an site electrician to swap over the cables in the bottom of the powersupply that supply the cables. I Don't suggest you do this yourself. See if the problem moves to the swapped camera?

I got my first in 1992 in my early twenties, I think, it was a NEC P4. I even managed to get hold of a proper car kit for it off an old manager who was getting rid of his current car so was real flash. I still have photos of the thing mounted to the centre console of the Range Rover I had around that time. I can get on without one but it has been handy in a number of occasions specially when hiking with a group of young teens across moors and mountains as I did back then :-), there were only a few of us that had them. I could probably go without one most of the time these days but having been stranded in the middle of nowhere in my late teens on a Sunday night without one I won't go too far without it.

I'm playing with Intune at the moment in a lab, is is a bit different but in there it has the same basic layout of Group Policies i.e. administrative templates for Users/Computers (although I cannot get them to work as of yet, lol). I've got a Windows 10 VM that I have connected to Azure AD and a Business Premium Microsoft 365 package with one Intune license. I've been using GPOs for quite a while, near 15 years (although current role I have no access to them) so a bit of a change but my view is I may as well try learn it a bit.

So if I get this right the desktop that you are pinging from has it's default gateway on the firewall and the CCTV vlan has it's gateway on the core router? If that is the case you will need some routing on the firewall to tell it where the destination network is for one and you may need firewall rules setup for access. The better way to do this would be have your CCTV on the firewall, your client vlans on the core switch, corporate WiFI (managed devices) can either be on your core or firewall and (if you have it) BOYD/Guest WiFi on firewall. I suggest using a firewall to segregate sensitive traffic as it is a lot easier to restrict access on a firewall than it is to design complex ACLs on switches with less chance of leaving gaps. Firewalls are normally setup so you have to specifically allow traffic to pass between Zones/Interfaces (depending on the firewall whether it zone or interface rule based Cisco ASA5505 for instance) where as switches are more designed to let traffic pass as long as it can route it if it is a layer 3 and doing InterVlan routing.

They should be accountable and fairly helpful if you have issues. At a previous job in IT there were awful issues with logons (I'm talking nearly 30mins on laptops) when I first joined and the support company that set up quite a few of the systems at the Org were very helpful even though it did not in the end turn out to be an issue with what they had done. At the end of the day you are probably going to be the one first inline from users so it would be as well to push them for help. Maybe try starting a laptop in safe mode with/without networking and see if that helps.

There is another thread on here which you may want to look at regarding default profile sizes http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/168598-windows-10-default-profile-huge.html Also another link to some info from Microsoft if they are using offline files https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/folder-redirection/deploy-folder-redirection If users are not using same laptops and not taking them off site and do not need them cached maybe it might be worth reviewing the offline files settings if they are used.
