So today a caught a student in safe mode with networking on youtube........ i was looking for a why to disable safe mode for students and found this: http://terrytlslau.tls1.cc it also links to a MS hotfix; https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/977542 just wanted to know if anybody uses this method or if it's possible via GPO? cheers ------------- Block standard users to log in on Windows Safe mode To block standard users to log in on Windows Safe mode in Windows 7 and Windows 8, we can modify the following registry. 1. On a computer, log in as Administrator. 2. Launch "Registry Editor". 3. Navigate to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System". 4. Create a new "DWORD (32-bit) Value" named "SafeModeBlockNonAdmins". 5. Double-click "SafeModeBlockNonAdmins". 6. Change the value to "1". 7. Click "OK". 8. Close "Registry Editor". When a local users of domain users log in on safe mode, Windows will show the following message. "Enforced policy permits only administrators to log on in Safe Mode".

i've just passed this onto our minecraft club.... any pointers that i can pass on?

awesome! Did you get the kids to do this? or did you use it as an excuse to play minecraft @ work!

i'm afraid not...it's just a hobby...every now and then we'll build a themed cab and sell it on.....sometime if we have enough time we accept commissioned builds. But recently we've just had no time, and my uncle (who is a carpenter) has started his own business...and i'm full steam at work being the ONLY it guy.....so it's same old same old..... all work and no play

LOL your not the first person to say that.....lol i did another space invader cab as the one in the pics, monitor included...all wiring done....just add your own pc tower. (software and emu/roms NOT included) tad under £1100. build pics here. Premier Arcades Gallery and before you ask..... i have no time at the mo......as im building a gameboy Premier Arcades Gallery

LOL Awesome just noticed this thread, here are mine, and a link to my site, Premier Arcades | Premier Arcades showcase website.

oooo nice... get windows 10 pro on it..... winner winner

Excellent, sorry i some how missed that thread on here about it.... i'm not at my pc at the mo so can't really have a look....does it contain info on how to configure the DNS server? Thanks again

Hi all, We are a Google apps for edu site and have blocked youtube for some time now..... last month Google announced that it was no longer supporting youtube for education, and if we wanted to filter the site. We needed to follow the below steps; https://support.google.com/a/answer/6214622?hl=en&ref_topic=6248111 and configure our Google admin panel. So i thought we'd give it another go. we use a windows dns server and have a sophos utm for webfilteing. i find the documentation that google supplies above somewhat incomplete (for my tiny brain anyway). So just wanted to reach out and ask if anybody had configured this new method, and how you are finding it. thanks in advance.

Thought i'd report back to say i've sorted this issue. Setting the Teaming mode to "LACP", load balancing mode to "Dynamic" and configuring the switch port to allow LACP sorted the migrate issues.

thanks for your reply, all the kit has been provided, however it's kinda been....."installed all that for you.....see ya bye"

How does it physically interface with your network? We have a Sophos UTM and i'd image that it should go (LAN Being the core switch); And not as below as the engineer told me?

We have all virtual servers, except one physical DC and a fileserver.... we want to do the same thing as you (OP). however i can't find anyinfo on whether the Veeam Endpoint retains and restore ntfs file permission on network shares.

create new, or import?

Yes we have HP Switches a5500-ei-sfp-24 from memory. Both switch are named the same, both have different MAC ranges, the vms are all on the same ip range and use the same gateway. thanks all.

Sorry for the late reply, end of term rush and all...... anyway..... the logs look fine, we have 4 core switches that are stacked..... with each physical nic (of the team) connected to 1 of each of the four switches. The ports aren't aggregated/trunked. As the team has been configured as "switch independent"/hyper-v port. The other hyper-v host we have is configured the same way. cheers

i thought the vswitch created in hyper-v manager did all that via layer 2? only my vms have static ips and the management nic on the host. but i've looked at this for far to long, non of t makes sense now lol

when using the "move wizhard" all the settings are retained....static ips, and network configuration..... it just stops working..... if i transfer it back... it starts to work again.

the server (dell r610) has 4 broadcom nics on the board, the new card is the INTEL 4 port i350 cheers for looking

yes, correct... if the vm was created on the host to which it was created....it doesn't seem to be an issue.... if i move it to an alternative host.... thats when the issue starts. thanks again

yes but only on some of the Vms that i transfer. cheers
