Morning all, We have to replace one of your old pi release stations, but are finding the image was deprecated a couple of years ago, and i can find no mechanism to replace it on a pi, that allows release by card entry. I would have thought this would a standard web release thing. I cant believe they stopped doing something so useful to some, and not provide a viable alternative Anyone have any tips tricks hacks etc? We just need to show a login by card screen so that we can use our scanners to read a barcode on the users card(just normal keyb compatible scanner on usb). This is a real headache Thanks James

No time to die, crap plot(the baddies plan is what exactly?), not sure about the ending, but good bond all in all

Confirmed to be "SquirrelWaffle", rebuilt servers and it came back, what a nasty little bit of nastiness

we are pretty sure it was fallout from hafnium, we were not patched at the time. We did find some of the signs at the time, but thought we got everything. Although we can't work out if it was a random time bomb or what that has taken it this long! We will probably move to exchange online in the future, but want to do it on out terms

took one member of the dag down this morning, and no spam so far, might have got lucky and shut down the infected one

and the fact these are emails being replied to that are internal, ie maybe a payroll email from 2019, resent to its original recipients with a new message "Good afternoon! You will find all specs in the letter via the next link: 1)tradingview.whitewaterwood-gay-spa.tw/ipsaet/deseruntnemo-1478483 2)freesofts.zamira.ro/idquia/autvel-1478483" Dear All, Due to the external payroll processing company closing early for the Christmas break, it will be necessary to bring the deadline for timesheets and expenses claims forward to midday Monday 9th December 2019 to ensure payment in December. Claims received after this date will be processed in the January 2020 pay run. ======================== It must be internal to exchange, although I am known to be wrong! If it was random mailout, but the fact it includes an actual email

we do have a mailscanner instance in front of Exchange, which is what the SMTP from external connects to, but that is literally only the smtp port open

Fully patched Ex2016, no IMAP or POP3 access externally, SMTP and the 443 infrastructure is, via load balancer

yeah, must be exchange, as we are getting internal to internal, not just external. headers show no other servers involved

yep, remove a member at a time, rebuild it, add it back in, rinse and repeat. oh the joys

Bloody exchange server its caught some malware, during an hour period every morning, it sends out 20-30 email replies from random mailboxes with 2 random links. Not sure its Hafnium related, we are mitigated(after the fact) but who knows what was dropped in. Ran all the scans, MSERT, the PS1 scripts, Defender(which apparently is updated to scan for webshells) but nothing shows up. Think I'm going to have to blast it and flip flop rebuild the DAG.

These type of license(subscription) are separate to OVS-ES, and therefore are not subject to FTE count, as far as I know.

We just asked our reseller(RM) for 5 x 23K‐707 OVSF O365 Edu A3 Open Fac AddOn toUsrCore 1YR AP @ £10 ish a licence, got them, applied them, all sorted

Hi all, Seems O365 apps like Word Excel etc default to en-us and users get a pop up saying it can't changed, contact the admin etc, can this be changed org wide for those homed in O365? Thanks James

We have been quoted for OVSF O365 Edu A3 Open Fac AddOn toUsrCore at just over a tenner a piece, sounds cheap is it right? I assume its an A1 to A3 upgrade cost rather than a full A3 hence the low cost

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/plan-for-teams-live-events Am I right in thinking we would only need a minimum amount of A3 licenses, as its the only the scheduler that needs a licence to create the event itself? So outfitting head of, or marketing or IT only would be fine? Thanks

Afternoon all, We seem to have lost this off our OVS-EES. It was never listed on the invoice, but always had it. Has this been replaced by something else or should we not be worried? Thanks James

We ended up just using our BigBlueButton servers for live events, can't do thousands, but hundreds achievable with the right server setup, and that's fine for us

Unfortunately we have found this doesn't add Live events it only enhances live events you get from A3, sorry for the misinformation, we were led to believe this was true

Watching Traces on iPlayer, very enjoyable and 4 episodes in haven't worked out the endgame yet, so that's a bonus

Afternoon all, We currently have 2 Hyper-V hosts local to themselves with a 3rd server that backs it all up. We want to move back to a Hyper-V cluster(we found a SAN update to be prohibitively expensive with the dropping of EqualLogic when we last refreshed). Our plan is to continue to use the 2 hosts in a 2 node cluster, maybe adding another soon, and use the current backup server(all 740Xd) as a form of shared storage for the cluster. I know things have come a long way in the days of our old SAN based cluster, so how would you turn that server into something the hosts can use? SoFS, S2D, SolarWinds, Free/TrueNAS, UnRaid etc. We will probably be adding a second server to the storage at some point, so we would have cluster at the Hyper-V and cluster at the storage level, so we can in effect lose a server from each and still limp along(as long as 2 in each don't go ) Any advice or pointers appreciated Thanks James

can take 48 hours, as per MS time...

ah, there we go: https://blog.shi.com/software/microsoft-teams-gets-new-advanced-communications-add-on-what-education-customers-can-expect-from-this-new-license/

I could be very wrong on that one though, can't find where I got the heads up on it now... I can't test until live events actually goes for us! This might just add on the bigger live events(up to 20,000) and not live events itself. There is a trial for it, so maybe someone who has lost LE, can get the trial, apply a licence, wait for x amount of MS time, then see if they get LE back

Ours is still there, but anecdotal says tenants are dropping off fast We have found that the Advanced Communications for Faculty license will give us Live Events and only for a couple of quid a month per person so around £22 a year Just need one for each Presenter/Producer
