Vote for deduplication here. Saved about 500GB of data here on Server 2012R2 and never had a problem with it. If your real problem is duplicate files then that will fix it overnight. I push the Google Drive and have been moving some shared folders over to Google Team Drive with their consent. I'm making shared folders 5GB tops. I also have a NAS box which I drag stuff into once in a while. You get stuff so obviously not required any more and just drag that over in secret. When you see folders called 2009 archive then you know they won't be missing it. Also slip into conversation with your head about the cost of storage. If they are happy to pay for the space and the backup then to hell with it and just do it.

Still bouncing between the company who sold it and their support and been going on for quite some time now. Sadly no one on here could help (all seemed to think I was trying to steal someones licence keys ) Anyway the quest continues. Luckily I used a well known education reseller who seems to be on the case. Good luck with Avid.

Can you push a Chrome app or extension to a set of chromebooks rather than a set of users? Im sure I have deployed apps to hardware rather than users before but either I imagined it or something has moved. Seems odd to only be able to push them to users as it ends up with lots of apps appearing for every student on every device. Am I missing a setting? Thanks

Didn’t realise this was against the rules. This is just the licence server I’m asking for and not a licence which is useless without the licence behind it. Bit like asking for a windows iso so not sure why this thread has been like pulling my teeth out. I have the licence yet not the software to run it.

ah yes thanks for the pic..... Don't suppose you or anyone else would be happy downloading that and sending the zip to me please? Thanks

Alas it does not appear for reasons currently unknown. It would really help if someone could send me an exe without me having to talk to their support which I remember is slow as balls.

Hello all, As the title says, my school just purchased Sibelius Ultimate multiseat however I don't have a link for the licence server download for some reason. I vaguely remember I had a similar issue with 7.5 and unless things have changed their support is a little slow. If someone would be kind enough to send me just the licence server via Onedrive/Google Drive etc I would be very appreciative and would make my Tuesday morning go alot smoother. Never sure why they can't just link this on their website as its useless without the licence key anyway? Anyway thank you all.

yes.... yes they are. They called me up today and said the problem looks like its because the sender does not have any SSL on their website and is blacklisted by Google due to a poor reputation! Just sent them on a few logs they asked for to confirm this before I go back and poke it up their snooty IT guy Great shout contacting Google!

Ticket logged. Never had to contact Google before so should be an experience . Thanks

It does. Says Pass to SPF and DKIM. Seems to be 365 hosted.

Had them email the gmail standalone account we have for when something requires a secondary recovery email set so in essence totally separate to our domain.... was delivered but instantly marked as spam. There is something funny with their email but guess I will never know what.

I know. All their message says was to read the full error below but its blank. The user asked their IT department who sent me a semi-snotty message about it not having any logs. I know this is nonsense and its their filter doing this but without the logs I can't prove it and it becomes a finger pointing exercise.

Id love to say that but I can see from the logs its the correct email. Annoying as hell as its just this 1 place causing the problems and we need invoices from them.

Hello all, Set up GMail split delivery a couple of months ago and all was well but my finance department has one company whose emails only get through about 1 in 3 attempts. When I check the logs all it says is ... "received from SMTP with address ...etc" "inserted into Gmail delivery pipeline" "bounced" Now I have a minor belief the company has a snazzy email filtering system which is triggering Gmails security somehow but when I ask for the rejection message its not there because their filter seems to be clearing it. They have what looks like a 365 error saying it couldn't be delivered and to check the following text however there is no text. I have added the email addresses to the spam ignore list and ticked the "suppress bounces from this recipient" on the default routing path. Is there anything else anyone can suggest to make this go away? Googling it just brings up generic "is the email address correct" results. Thanks

Hello all, Currently planning to move students to gmail in summer and on my test accounts I have hit the part where I migrate the user, remove their mailbox and need exchange to push the email externally. My current plan is to create each user a contact account in AD as it populates the GAL and seems to work well however creates the overheads of ensuring both accounts (user and contact) have group membership updated correctly. In my previous tests I have been able to amend certain attributes in user accounts and emails flow correctly however they don't appear in the GAL. Really I want to ask the community if my plan is the accepted solution to have exchange talk to Gmail correctly or does anyone know how to get users without a mailbox to appear in the GAL? They show up in the staff address list but id rather create contacts than ask my users to navigate a droplist... Thanks all

Yeah its from a long time ago (Its at least 10 years and more likely 20+) and this system struggles to run even in IE11 with endless proprietary software requirements which cause loops. The support company we use have an @AOL.com address and the engineer is semi-retired. Its a frustrating scenario for me where I keep getting it in the neck because this company from the distant past keep blaming "the network" for the hangups and trying to explain to anyone non IT how antiquated they are is met with "have you fixed the network yet". I asked if their engineer could change the controller to DHCP so I can move it's vlan and got told the processor can't run DHCP. Just wondered if someone knew anything about it but yeah, no doubt the sensors would need replacing and recabling. Thanks for replying and maybe it will just go away?

Not something which would often come IT's way I know but has anyone ever had experience setting up a heating system and can recommend any company? We have an Allen Martin system which we are having endless problems with it freezing up. Its a longstanding issue being batted between us and them for ages and mentioned to our buildings manager about maybe finding another company to provide a control system however she has been told it would run into the tens of thousands! Can anyone back this up? Seems a hefty price for a small box which connects to already present sensors and displays a web based UI. Long shot I know but here's hoping. Thanks

just to say thanks to everyone who helped. Things aren't working 100% however very much making progress. Part of the problem was it turned out my ISP did not update the MX records correctly which caused a lot of these funny delivery patterns. Anyway I still have some questions but have time on my side now I can test accounts at leisure.

I have had messages from this morning eventually get back to me Just had a partial success, found the following powershell... Enable-RemoteMailbox "mailbox name" -RemoteRoutingAddress "email address allias i.e. test-google-a.com" Now I can send mail to the gmail account and although not as easy as I was expecting, I can make do with scripting this to work as migrations take place... Saying that, email now isnt working from gmail into exchange but until I get the bounceback I wont know why Thank you all for your help and patience. No doubt I will have other posts related to GMail in the following days/weeks but at least this gives me something to go on and get at least me and my techs onto gmail (once I figure why I cant send back to onsite exchange!).

Its all got a little confusing and the tests have come out inconclusive... No Edge server, just Exchange 2013 going straight out. Firstly, new accounts made in google do not receive email (Even after adding SMTP:emailaddresshere to the proxy addresses value) however that can be a problem for another day. I successfully updates the GAL and updated Outlook's copy and then got the text "we won't be able to deliver this message because the email address is no longer valid" above the address bar however.... after 15 minutes, 2 messages arrived correctly in GMail. I do not believe I have changed anything else and tried again but now mail is not being delivered with no bounceback. As per the new account I made for testing, I have had to add SMTP:emailaddress into the proxy addresses value as removing the mailbox clears any trace of email for the account. I'm so confused and if anything, further away from being able to make this work. It burns that I can't get it to do this as I know its something simple I'm not doing but just cant see what that is after a day online looking. Obviously you can tell I have never had to play with Exchange too extensively before so this is trial by fire! Thanks as always and know I'm clutching at straws now but would love any other input.

OK.... have been trying various things all day and still nowhere nearer. My current plan is now to keep the MX change in place but disable gmail for me and anyone else we had planned so at least I can carry on testing. I will no doubt look down the alias route and see if I can get that working but at least I can do it at leisure. Thanks for trying.

Just to update, still no luck. The domain is definitely set as an internal relay but just won't push mail that way if there is no mailbox found. Such a pain and seems to be a common issue people have.

Just emailed a new account and got a response from the external connector (gmail routing not live until Friday but I’m happy it was sent externally) so it just seems to be having a hard time forgetting where the mailbox is. Will ponder further.

its odd... i have done that however its still not passing it externally. I get a mailbox not found error generated from onsite. I'm going to leave the test mailbox disabled overnight and see if the overnight maintenance will take it's toll and tidy things up (always the optimist!) Thank you for your help on this and if anyone else has something to add I would love to hear it.

Thank you for your help and certainly moved me in the right direction. I have the mail relay via Google working now and is my only send connector enabled. The problem I appear to be having now is Exchange still wont route the mail externally. I changed the test mailbox name and even removed it together (ensuring to put the address back in AD) however I just get a mailbox not found error sent from the internal server rather than attempting to send down the connector to Google. Does anyone have a thought on this please?
