Firewall is disabled but restarted anyway and still no joy.

I'm about to connect our second site back to to the same leased line provider as main site. Once that has been done i'll have ACL's lifted on the provider's firewalls so i have ip site-to-site access. Initially i'll be creating a forest trust and a shared network drive for sharing resources across the trust, but will allow for all sorts of internal communications without traversing the internet.

Today i've gone to add another APP to our remoteapp server, and found that I got an error . I have screenshot below the error message in server manager, the error when trying to start the remote desktop management service, and the event log error. Currently stuck and cannot find an answer which works. Please could anyone assist? Everything seems to be working as normal for users accessing apps etc. Thanks [ATTACH=CONFIG]56046[/ATTACH]

Do you use WDS along with MDT? I've had a brief look at this online.

What does everyone use/do for computer repairs/imaging these days? I typically clean install windows 10 and common software i.e office etc and then make an image using Acronis for each motherboard type as includes all the drivers for each model otherwise restoring the image can result in BSOD if restored to different hardware. This way is quick an easy - i can reimage a machine and get on the network again in 15 minutes. However with the now windows 10 build updates, i'm looking for an alternative way to update base images for when machines crash or need reimaging: Looking to: - Build a base windows 10 image on a VM - Install base software i.e office, adobe suite, etc. - Make a copy of the image that can be restored to any hardware and incorporate any necessary drivers required for each board. Thanks is advance.

I always do clean install of windows and sql then do sims migration server to server.

I used to set a scheduled batch file to shutdown the machines one by one. I now have a GPO assigned to all clients with a scheduled task so they all shut down at the same time every night and it's free.

Setting default app associations for remoteapps (SIMS)
ITGURU replied to cdwyer's topic in Windows Server 2019
As far as I'm aware when using remote apps it uses all associations on the sever so if you have office installed on the server and set the defaults for xml as office handler it should open remote word for all users. I've never had any users complain they cannot open the files remotely by having this setup. -
Should we be expecting a new version of Windows anytime soon?
ITGURU replied to Phxantom16's topic in Windows
Windows 10 will just be called windows generically on future devices. there are no plans for 11 12 13 etc. it will just be updated builds. -
Free alternative - create GPO's with scheduled tasks in for each time. Assign GPOs to computer root and use item- level targeting to target groups of computers either by adding computers to a group or adding PC names and then relevant task will created on the pcs.

Definitely legit - the link used to be publicly available on their website , but the page got removed and left the link working with the latest updates which is where i get them from.

Same problem here - after an upgrade i was changing timezones to open gates, this would be ok, but then when i removed the settings, gates would still open! Paxton told me it is always best to do a reinstate after any changes even if the server and controller are always online! I think they should built it into the save process that it auto pushes the settings to the controller after a change, shouldnt need to reinstate!

Do you allow Student Leavers to retain access to email accounts?
ITGURU replied to fiza's topic in Cloud Services
I disable year 11 accounts at the end of August, giving them time to access if for any reason unable to collect their results. Their emails and user space are then backed up to external storage , encrypted, and stored for the relevant retention period just in case required. -
YouTube - Do you block or allow access to students?
ITGURU replied to Nausing's topic in How do you do....it?
We had to open youtube for all to access 'educational resources' however as always the use gets abused by students watching gaming videos, etc. restricted mode is enabled and our filtering has CAC (Cloud Application Control) so we can see reports of search words used in youtube, google etc and what videos's they've watched, posted comments etc. -
zero spam like the above to inbox. Office 365 is setup with the defaults, whitelisting nothing.
-
Why so huge? Have you ran a foldersize to see what it is in the profile. Use folder redirection. I'm surprised the user doesnt complain its slow to login.
-
I've been running my own personal email server from home to manage my emails for the last 16 years. Never had any issues with receiving SPAM crud to my email address claiming account been hacked etc. I moved to office 365 about 6 months ago and i'm getting emails claiming 'your account has been hacked', Important - i have recorded you' etc. if you want me to delete these files then pay me in litecoin. Just goes to show how unsafe 365 is, and seems that most companies getting hit with viruses are on 365 also. Glad we're still on exchange locally.

Primary School In place upgrade for Staff Machines Win 7 > 10
ITGURU replied to hardware's topic in Windows 10
Every desktop and server always gets a clean install at upgrades. I always warn staff that anything they've saved to the local disk will be wiped, so don't take responsibility for anything which is lost. Staff can save to the desktop, but i carry out checks now and again to see how big profiles are and if need be advise staff to remove any files. -
Nope! I keep installing the latest cumulative updates on another 2019 VM and testing but still not fixed!
-
Indeed. when we went 10gb HP wouldn't come in and advise on kit and setup. Dlink came in drew it all out with devices required and had 2 case studies done over the years. Also when I report firmware bugs I get Taiwan remoting on determining the issue and then they give me a custom fixed firmware before it's released to public! can't fault their service.
-
Yes both sites from HP to Dlink!
-
Interesting.. I've always used the dlink loopback detection and been flawless. all.switch ports are monitored as soon as a look back occurs it disables the 2 ports sends the switch and port details to systlog server and emails me the details. rechecks every 10 seconds and if look back cleared enabled ports of not they remain disabled until it clears.
-
sorry 2006 for definite. it was our first phase 10gb install with core switch and 10gb to IT rooms.
