Great, means if I ever get a Roomba, Amazon will start telling me what furniture will fit in my rooms, suggesting I buy more shelves or shoe racks or chew the rugs up and then suggest I buy new ones!

LeMarchand has it then

Depends on what is needed, I think that only changes the cyclops picture to what you choose. It won't change the AD picture or be loaded up to Azure or O365 This code will set an O365 picture of a chosen Group. # Set School logo as 365 picture #Connect Exchange Online Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement Connect-ExchangeOnline #Connect AAD for groups Connect-AzureAD #Logo location $logo = "c:\random\o365Logo.png" #get groupID of Group to look at $group = Get-AzureADGroup -Filter "DisplayName eq 'All Pupils Sixth Form'" #Members of group $groupMembers = Get-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectID $group.ObjectId -All $true ForEach ($groupMember in $GroupMembers) { Write-Host "Updating photo for" $groupMember.DisplayName -Foregroundcolor Red Set-UserPhoto -Identity $groupMember.UserPrincipalName -PictureData ([system.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($logo)) -Confirm:$false }

Same as Rob_D. Used to have a custom HTML page on an internal IIS server. Now we just use the Sharepoint default site as an external landing page with links to other 'hubs' displayed based on permissions or user groups. On site users are directed to the hub appropriate to them.

We are moving to Dynamic PSK, via an onboarding system that ties to RADIUS. This means we will be able to control access based on logins but also that we will be identify what devices are attached and limit how many, but not have to worry about certificates.

If I remember correctly there is a GPO. Ah, here it is - https://admx.help/?Category=Windows_10_2016&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.UserProfiles::ExcludeDirectories

Might work

IFTTT trigger? Would both need it on their phones but something like when phone is within 1 mile of home log location. That way their location isn't constantly logged but local is. Would need some playing to get it right I imagine. Cost is free.

Was always happy with Logitech MK270 combo. Then tried the MX Master and have stuck with it. Got an MX keys, would have loved the one with a dial but couldn't really justify it. The only niggle with the MX Keys is the multi-region keys sometimes catch me out.

I've seen some guides for a terracotta pot candle heater that have supposedly been quite effective. Usual warnings about open flames and caution, but could be something to look into? A quite good investigation of the claim is here. Seems to be it is great for concentrating the heat, but you would need 56 to generate enough to heat a whole room, plus they are known to go pop if you use too many candles as the temp gets high enough to vaporise the paraffin wax.

Yeah that rule isn't ideal, but I was hoping to get a ping through or just any traffic to even get to the default IIS server page. Then lock it down. I'll take a look at that thread. Thanks for the pointers

I can do the DNS, we have an external DNS provider we can update. Have no idea of the format of the rules in Ubiquiti. Just to make anything work I have created a firewall policy rule, under WAN IN, accepting all protocols. Then a Source NAT Rule as source of internal DA server and translation to external IP and a Destination NAT Rule as destination external IP and translation as the internal DA server IP. Can't tell if I Am fundamentally doing something wrong or if the Firewall is just not set up right in the first place!

Currently DA.ourdomain.org is pointed to our old internet line IPs. With the settings I have in the Ubiquity I changed the DNS to point to new line IP address and it doesn't work. I hadn't seen anything about port 53, so that maybe a large issue. All I can get from the dashboard is EdgeRouter Infinity.

Thanks DosBox, I've not had time to get my head round the firewall and we really need to get the BT line cancelled. It's probably something silly like mistranslation by me of terms.

Morning all, wondering if someone can help? I've inherited an interesting setup and have Direct Access setup to come in via a BT line and router. Problem is we have no access to the router and the BT line needs to be retired. Our new line has a Ubiquiti firewall and although I have what settings I think should work, DA is not working when redirecting the DNS. Does anyone happen to have a Ubiquiti firewall with Direct Access working that could share their settings?

It will be interesting to see where they take it. An episode of rifling through every drawer, box, pile and fridge to find bottle caps may not be the most riveting viewing.

We are using an SD-WAN product that trunks 2 separate lines into one, fully managed by the company. So if one goes down we can hobble along on the other, if one has constant problems they move us onto a different supplier. Its a bit black box magic but seems pretty cool. This is mainly to join 3 sites together, but is a nice added benefit.

This I had not heard of, thank you muchly. One of the things in the back of my head that I've not managed to research.

The alternative is: Customers of psychics and tarot readers are being tricked by online psychics and tarot readers into spending money on psychic and tarot readings. Or even Customers of psychics and tarot readers are using online psychics and tarot readers, spending money on psychic and tarot readings.

Customers of fake psychics and tarot readers are being tricked by online scammers into spending money on fake psychic and tarot readings. Fixed that for you.

I maybe horribly wrong but I seem to recall when I went through a similar exercise I made the core switch the gateway for all devices, possibly using the VLAN specific IP for the switch. The core switch then had the Smoothwall as the gateway, I think each VLAN was set this way. Smoothwall external NIC then pointed to the external facing router. I think the only alternative I was suggested was for setting up devices to be dumped directly to the outside and had the Smoothwall as their gateway and needed Smoothwall set up in a particular way, with an extra NIC connection. I never ended up doing this though so can't comment on anything more than the theory. EDIT: Just had a look at the diagram, the caveat with my setup was that Smoothwall was inline between the core and the external facing router. I don't see why it shouldn't work the same way though.

Wasn't it Bromcom that had an 'interesting' definition of downtime?

It has been a long time since I looked at SIMS reports but I have a recollection that you could do a report and then insert a report based on the current record. Would that work? So, staff list, then report on UDG for current member of staff? Sorry very vague, but it is going back a fair few years!

Looks like it is more about staring at screens then the lighting conditions - https://sites.uci.edu/morningsignout/2017/05/17/fact-or-fiction-screen-use-in-the-dark-can-harm-your-eyes/ My understanding was that dark room was better as you weren't straining your eyes against the competing light sources. You could use safeguarding as a reason, how can the teacher be supervising the pupils fully if they can't see them?

There are a few systems. Schoolpost, is one, it will talk to SIMS and pull through attendance and then can automatically SMS or email parents. Parent's can then respond and it be received by the system. It's not cheap though for just that.
