No disrespect to SJ, the man had a plan and the rest is obviously history... But how many times can Hollywood create movies about his life?! Surely it would be better if they had another attempt at 'The Pirates of Silicon Valley' movie, pitting Apple again Microsoft. Monday rant over.

Excellent thank you

Can someone recommend me a chromebook? Not looking for anything flash/ too expensive (£250+).

Has anyone any experience with use Xirrus XR-620 APs? Mixed/ dense wireless deployment; 100+ Windows 7 laptops, 40 iPad's.

Thanks all

Quick query to find out if there is any legal requirement for a school to use the sch.uk as a primary domain name (managed by the LA), over say using a private procured co.uk domain as the primary. One of my education clients is in development of a new website, it was one of the queries raised by the developers.

It always makes me chuckle when I read about securing email, GCSX and all that... The email is only ever as safe as the sender/ receiver at either end makes it.

3.11?!

I believe is also possible with Synology NAS hardware, utilising their DS Photo app.

My only thank you to Apple, is that they didn't ditch Configurator... It goes no further than that. I might report back next Friday eating humble pie, however I currently think Apple have taken a few backwards steps with the UI.

What kind of deployment are you using at your site?

One step ahead, we have a Meru trial going in today , following which we're going to request the same with the Ruckus equipment.

Yep will definitely end up doing this.

Yeah that Ruckus interface is night, which is a plus. However I'm keen to understand the difference in the AP's.

I have a school looking to procure a wireless upgrade, with quotes sourced for both Ruckus and Meru. The school has a large deployment of laptops and growing deployment of iOS devices. Can anyone guide me on the difference between the Meru AP822i 802.11ac and the Ruckus ZoneFlex R500 Dual-Band 802.11abgn/ac access points? I'm led to believe the Meru AP is capable of 80MHz, whereas Ruckus can only push out 40MHz when 3 or more APs are in place.

Cool, that confirms what I've already done. Thanks for that.

I've been asked to add the following bespoke scope option: Option 130 - set as text and insert MITEL IP Phone Not altogether sure how I set an option as 'text' in the pre-defined scope options.

Yeah we're now in the process of restoring a sizable quantity of data back to a 'before state'. The unfortunate situation is the length time in which it went unnoticed and the loss of data in-between that period to present date... Still, it could be worse! Thanks re all suggestions about antivirus solutions.

Indeed, already reimaged what we believe is/was the infected client. Not convinced about the files actually being encrypted, unless it uses a scatter gun approach to randomly move files. One of the locations definitely didn't have files in that area prior to the infection. My sneaking suspicion is it created them to make it look like it had it encrypted files. What AV would people recommend? We're are actually going into a tender process come next month, so recommendations would be helpful.

Here's the capture of the files in the media folder.

I really don't want to say, out of shame... AVG. ***runs off to locate stocks and basket of rotten tomatoes***

Got hit by the CryptoWall 3.0 this morning, four files; HELP_DECRYPT.TXT, HELP_DECRYPT.PNG, HELP_DECRYPT.URL AND HELP_DECRYPT.HTML. I'm guessing if the users had opened the URL or HTML it could have been a disaster, as it stands the file screening prevented the *.url/ html files from propagating to anywhere other than the media shared location... An oversight on my part and now also file screening for all web page files on this folder, other folders were file screening for web page files in accordance with our default policy. Thankfully nothing was encrypted and only needed to scan and purge the aforementioned files, as well as looking at the file attributes for one of the files to associate a user to the outbreak. Interesting enough the AV remote admin console highlighted the threat (not as crpytowall), claimed to remove, yet really it did b*gger all. From this however, I managed to track what I believe was the client is originated from. Fingers are quite literally crossed at this end.

Has anyone used this method? Deploy Font Files via a GP (Group Policy) | The-IT-Blog

Probably a silly question, but wondered how I go about deploying fonts using Group Policy?

Yep got a raid firmware to execute as soon as the replacement disks have both rebuilt. Hopefully it won't get to that stage Good point
