Presuming that it is a targeted attack. My main concern with remote access is wholesale automated testing against stolen credentials. I have a potaco! Baked potato with the filling and sauces that would normally be in a Taco! Yum.

I never thought dredging up such an old post would result in so much conversation Happy Friday everyone!

In this instance I agree... pretty pointless expiring passwords for an internal system and low attack surface (you have to be on the network, logged in as a user with access to the SIMS share and know what SIMS is and how you could abuse access to it). In other remote access scenarios "credential stuffing" (using stolen credentials from elsewhere to get into other services) is a real problem and some sort of password expiry (albeit every year or two years) is not too inconvenient for the user and adds some sort of protection against credential stuffing attacks.

Ah.. time to dredge up this ancient thread.. as part of a request relating to the GDPR 'worries' I've been asked if SIMS can expire passwords after X days of no change. It seems that the password_valid = 'F' flag triggers the password change box on SIMS login. E.g. update sims.db_user set password_valid = 'F' where person_id = However.. when you then log in and try to change the password... the following stored procedure is run: exec sims.db_pic_user_password_update @signature=82 @login_name='usernamehere',@old_password_generated='ue/1wyREDACTEDlT+unREDACTED6' @new_password_encrypted='ue/1wREDACTEDAVO+Yif7+uREDACTEDU' And SIMS returns: "Unable to Update User Password, reason passwords mismatch". I presume this is because the "password_generated" field in sims.db_user does not contain the expected plaintext original password. It might be possible to bypass this by modifying the sims.db_pic_user_password_update or sims.db_pia_user_password_update (?) stored procedures to bypass this check - but asking for trouble, things will go horribly wrong for your procedures at the next SIMS update if any of the related stored procedures get reset back to their stock / default. Time to abandon this attempt.. but hope my post stops someone else spending time to discover the same.

Anyone using Smart LightRaise 60wi Interactive Projectors?

For those that might be having the same problem.. it goes away if you use Driver 12.2 SMART Product Drivers 12.2 and Ink 2.3 for Windows - SMART Technologies However the screenshot tool then goes wrong - this can be fixed by copying snapshot.exe from the "Education Software" folder into the "SMART Product Drivers" folder and then opening SMART notebook again. -

I've found the reverse. I've had two bulbs sent out under warranty with minimal fuss and the Canadian I've spoken to on each occasion has been very helpful and personable. Our lamp woes with the 60wi continue. Shame. Great projectors otherwise. -
Another school of mine has started doing similar now too but this school only has one LightRaise 60wi! And it is the only board that has the problem. I'm going to see if the very latest SMART Notebook changes anything.

Snap! Same issue in one of my schools: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/educational-software/165598-smart-notebook-11-toolbar-issue.html Did you get anywhere? Also I've found that almost all of our bulbs in the 60wi projectors die after ~1,000 hours. Luckily warranty replacement has been easy to request but I feel very worried about the cost once the projectors and bulbs are out of warranty. -
Smart software upgrade didn't fix it.. however I have just stumbled across this: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/135655-anyone-using-smart-lightraise-60wi-interactive-projectors-2.html#post1419815 Someone else with exactly the same problem!

SMART LightRaise 60wi and build 11.3.857.0 (I guess upgrading that is the first thing I can try.. will have to wait until Friday though).

Hello everyone. I have a problem with every computer across one site where SMART Notebook 11 will randomly stop accepting pen / touch input on the toolbar (not the floating toolbar but the actual toolbar for changing page or tool in Notebook itself). During all this time the writing area of Notebook will continue to function normally. Elements such as the start menu outside of Notebook also function normally. Moving over to the computer and using the mouse on the toolbar works and then the selected tool can be used in the notebook writing area. The problem will appear randomly on a computer and disappear as randomly as it appeared. Sometimes doing ctrl+alt+delete and then clicking Cancel solves the problem, other times it does not. Often the problem will go away by itself. Reports from teachers also seem to suggest that rebooting doesn't fix it! Has anyone seen this before or does anyone have any advice on what to try? Thank you!

I have to say that Steljes and Equinox (the guys that get sent out) have been incredibly good over warranty repairs of our (*many!) broken LightRaise 60wi projectors. [*I might even go as far as to say that I believe there may be a widespread fault with these model projectors causing early lamp failure]. Getting hold of Steljes on the phone has always been easy and the person on the end of the phone has been efficient and polite. The Equinox engineer who has been sent out to swap out projectors, up to now (he has retired), has been brilliant. (If we are talking about bad customer services... ParentMail!)

I'm going to guess that Outlook assumes that all exchange servers are local even though the IP isn't within your local network range. Or... like IE's detection.. it is not very good at detecting what is local and what isn't. Potentially loss of access to printer web based interfaces, espresso (if you have the expresso box, rather than accessing their website) or other local based websites. If your proxy is within your building it is likely this access will still work anyway but just via the proxy. If your proxy is "cloud based" ie, segfl.. where it is hosted at RM, it will either fail (if you have a strict firewall configuration) or still work but go all the way out and back over your broadband.
