Hi All, I have been tasked with setting up Radius with Smoothwall via our Meraki wireless network. I wondered if there is anyone else here that has already completed this process. I understand Meraki needs a public IP for radius however there doesn't appear to be much information after this as to how it is then linked and setup. Any pointers would be appreciated Many thanks

Hi, Thank you, i have had a look at this but unfortunately doesn't fully fulfill our requirements in that it will show the user when they are calling the phone etc This is a really tough one and trivial at that! i cant believe we are the only school looking for a solution to this issue. Of course the main option is to manually input a contacts database onto each phone but we have a lot of phones and it makes it a nightmare should there be any changes to be made.

Another bump

Thank you, couple of questions if i may: Can this be a read only environment so they cant make any changes Does it show the person calling them if the contact is within this app and not native to the phone

Bump for any further feedback

Hi All, I am looking for a stable centralised solution we can maintain the schools phone contacts across the schools mobile phones. This is the one thing i have never fully resolved and am currently using contacts on an old Mac server and porting them through via MDM to the mobiles. Issue with this is that you cant set it as read only so if someone changes a contact on their mobile phone it changes it for every mobile phone across site and equally if they manage to add a contact to the schools phone list it replicates to everyone's phones also. Any recommendations or work-arounds would be appreciated, i cant believe i am the only school here needing to have a set contacts list on multiple mobile phones but the last time i spent a long time looking into this and solutions i gained zero traction Cheers

Hi Mark, Did you ever find a way of doing this to stop users being able to then add and change? so read only in a sense. Cheers

Hi, I want to be able to have centralized contacts distributed to all our MDM iPhones. I have figured out how to get the contacts from the Mac server through our MDM to the handsets however the only main part i am now stumbling on is having Read Only access. Currently the user could edit said distributed contacts and edit them which would then sync back and sync to every other phone. There must be a way round this or maybe a solution you are using that can maybe point me in a better direction as i feel i am just going round in circles here Any help would really be appreciated

Hi All, Just wanted to pick brains and see if anyone has any ideas, Currently anything we are changing whether it be removing or adding to DNS reverts overnight. I deleted an entry yesterday, came in this morning and it is back again. I cant seem to see what is causing this at all. We had an issue also where we needed to change the IP address of an entry and the next day it again had reverted back to the old entry with the old address. Has anyone else had this or have any clue as to what is happening, Much appreciated

Hi, Does anyone know of an easy way (by means of application etc) to backup a folder and contents to Sharepoint at scheduled intervals? We have a drive we want to have replicated offsite however i don't want this hitting our existing enterprise backup solution as we will go over quota. We do however have shed loads of space available in Sharepoint. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers All

Hi All, We are looking to buy an additional SAN to upgrade our existing HP P2000 G3 making this then our secondary storage. We are using VMWare at the moment also as a side note. I just wondered what everyone is currently using and your thoughts. We have been looking at Nimble and Dell Equallogic. We are leaning more towards Nimble however would be great to hear other opinions before we hit the button. Cheers all

Splendid, pleased to read this this morning!

Cloud managed, We have the Meraki MX400 on the end of all this

Everest Now Has Wi-Fi, So You Can Truly Netflix And Chill | Gizmodo UK Does this mean we now have no excuse for lack of wireless coverage?

Do they have lifetime warranty support like HP? (Serious question not a dig)

Logs have been checked and the DHCP servers list is restricted so we know what is going where, its so odd mainly because of how random it is when they drop!! cheers anyway

We use ManageEngine Service Desk. Works great for what we need and does a whole host of other things like purchasing etc

We have never had profile manager working 100% stable. Unfortunately it is scarcely support by Apple. We were at one point having to reboot the mac server daily just to get the 'PUSH' side working to deploy what we needed etc. Its far from great! i agree with Shadow_Walker workgroup manager although old is a far more stable and reliable means!

Hi all, Long shot here as we are drawing blanks over this side and hoping someone may have some ideas. We are currently running Meraki MR42's and up until 4 weeks ago everything was running great, recently however, we have been getting reports across from across all areas of the campus that the wireless has been unstable to say the least. When we have drilled down on this further, users are experiencing complete dropouts. So for example one of our residents onsite who has a wireless point in their house was happily sitting there watching Netflix in the evening and suddenly everything stopped, when he went to check the wireless network settings on his TV there were no visible SSID's. This stayed like this for 5-10 minutes before everything became visible and the list of available SSID's appeared again and he could then reconnect. We have contacted Meraki who for the most part have been great at helping with any issues however in this instance they want packet captures and logs at the time the issue is occurring. This is understandable, however due to how random and intermittent this is it is virtually impossible for us to obtain this. Any ideas or things to try that i could have missed would be appreciated, this is frustrating to say the least! Cheers all

Im not entirely sure if they are still up and running? we were looking at the yesterday and they are both showing out of stock with the larger one saying 'Out of stock until May 2014'?? We tried calling them and it just rang constantly until an automated voice came on

Hi All, We are looking to purchase environment monitors for both our server rooms i just wondered what those who are using them have gone with. APC Netbotz looks good but quite pricey and i have been looking at Geist this morning of which looks great and not a bad price however i dont know much about them Any advice or pointers would be appreciated

Censornet could be an option to move to? We are currently with Netsweeper but looking to move also and found Censornet

We have been looking at Parago, seems to be good. We also looked at Snipe IT, would be equally great to hear from anyone that is using this also. Cheers!

Hi All, We are looking for suggestions as to a good School Asset Management system everyone uses/recommends, this will be for all our IT equipment. Currently we are using School Asset Manager but finding it is not meeting our requirements or had any new features in some time now. Cheers for any feedback

Just wondered if anyone uses the APC Netshelter SV server rack and thoughts? We are looking to get one this summer to replace an old outdated rack we have
