I was going to say something along those lines. I found with the Speedtest website that the sheer amount of of adverts and the load that those adverts put on your browser often makes the speed reading they give unreliable. There have been multiple occasions where I have ran Speedtest on a computer and got one result then, a minute later with an ad-blocker enabled, a speed test to the same server brings back a wildly different result. Then if I use one of their apps which don't have so many adverts, they generally come back with similar results to the ad-blocked browser. I think their service is basically sound but the website could be better. I generally use fast.com these days, assuming Netflix isn't being blocked anyway.

I mean an on-premise SharePoint, not SharePoint Online. There are clients for Android and iOS that work with that, it doesn't need to be connected to the Internet.

I'm almost loathe to suggest it, but SharePoint? That fits the bill pretty much perfectly. All OneDrive is is the My Files part of SharePoint hosted in Microsoft's data centre.

You're not from Greece or have a thirst for knowledge then? You didn't study sculpture at St. Martins College?

Dang. The only thing of his that I’ve seen in any great quantity is New Tricks but he was always good in that. 74 is no age to go, such a shame

Those are SAS hard drives, not SATA. You can connect a SATA drive to a SAS controller, but not the other way around. You need a SAS controller of some description to connect these drives to.

@Getsuga, Which Dell docks do you have? There were some (The TB16 and the WD15 come to mind) where the initial firmware revision was downright awful and had issues similar to what you're describing in your post. A firmware update on the dock helped massively.

Could be a hybrid thing like a lot of fast food places, i.e. corporate runs some stores and franchisees run others?

Please don’t think me rude for asking, but why have you decided you need that? What problem is the RAID going to solve?

There's a PowerShell command that can do that: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/remove-inboxrule?view=exchange-ps

If you don’t mind me asking, how old are the grandkids? I want to take my 5 year old to see it but am a bit concerned about the two hour runtime.

To be honest, it’s more surprising to me that Apple have left it as long as they have to take it out back and shoot it. They’ve been slowly gimping it since they discontinued the xServe. Oh well, life goes on.

OR You could go here: https://www.itninja.com/software/epson/iprojection/3-4521 And follow the instructions. MSI Installer linked there.

I can't actually find the installer on the internet (the link on Epson's site is dead) but looking this this video: It appears to be a fairly old InstallShield installer which, generally speaking, can have command line parameters passed to it to make it install silently. Looking at other Epson installers, they're all in self extracting ZIP files so you could use something like 7Zip or WinRAR to extract the downloaded EXE. The one that I looked at has a InstData folder with the actual installer files in there, one called Setup.exe. Run the installer with the -r switch and let it run through, it will dump a file called setup.iss in your Windows directory. You'll then be able to copy that to where the installer lives, then run "setup.exe -s -f setup.iss", which will hopefully make it install silently.

There's a Lib Dem peer who's suggesting that we change to CET to help reduce energy usage: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/17/double-summer-time-minister-urged-put-uk-clocks-forward-ease-cost-of-living-crisis-john-lee

Correct. One of the APs elects itself the master. All of the APs have management IP addresses and the AP that's the master has an additional virtual IP from which management is done. If the master falls over, another AP on the network elects itself the master and takes over the virtual IP to do management. All of the APs are controlled from the master, so there's a single pane of glass to do management. /edit It turns out I was mistaken about the amount of sites that you can manage from InstantOn, it's pretty much unlimited but you're still restricted to 25 APs per site, so depending on the size of your schools, InstantOn MAY be good enough. I'd still go with Instant though, it's more enterprisey.

Maybe, but to use email as an example, I’m willing to bet that using Gmail or Office 365 is going to be cheaper than picking a cloud provider and paying for compute, storage and network charges from them. Plus I’m willing to bet that they’re better at securing email servers than you and I are. Similarly, I’d rather pay Bromcom/$OtherCloudMIS to do all that for me than host SIMS/Whatever in Azure/AWS. Lifting and shifting a service between cloud providers isn’t trivial either. Frankly, IaaS and PaaS are both little more than a stopgap between on-prem and cloud services and anyone with any sense who wants to go cloud would migrate to SaaS as soon as is practical.

There are three distinct types of Aruba wireless network ranges at the moment: InstantOn: Designed for SME, up to 25 APs on a site, can manage up to eight sites and wholly cloud managed. Instant: up to to 250 devices (I think) on a network, controllerless but centrally managed (One of the APs elects itself the master and all configuration is done from that one), managed on-site but can connect to a cloud system called Aruba Central for some management features. Can also be managed by a similar on-prem management system called AirWave, both are optional. Campus: Managed by one or more controllers, can manage tens of thousands of APs from one management interface. Very powerful, but very expensive. Can also be connected to Aruba Central or AirWave if you wish. These days, Instant and Campus APs are the same; Instants can be converted to Campus. Going the other way is possible but not supported. InstantOn APs are their own thing. All of the systems are very good and have their advantages and disadvantages. /edit Just noticed your comments about serverless infrastructure. Regarding Aruba controllers, they’re more typically hardware appliances than VMs, although you can get them as either. Once you start managing big networks though, appliances would work better. Their appliances look like 1U switches.

Tied..

Oh my. You’re really asking for trouble there Let’s go for ‘Training’

I don't envy you your task, to be honest. Having personally "managed" devices attached to the corporate network is an exercise in frustration. On the one hand, you have the organisation pushing for better management of devices, on the other you have the user screaming at you because you're trying to put in policies for "their" devices, even when they're owned by the organisation. I guess the first question has to be, what level of management are you looking to get out of this? Are you looking to put in restrictions of some description on the device, or looking to apply policies or deploy software? Do you want to manage anti-virus? Do you want to deploy printers and shares to the devices? Intune with Conditional Access might be a good path to take. It's relatively easy to enrol devices in it, you can push out software, policies etc. There are bolt-ons to Azure that you can use to deploy printers, plus you can use Conditional Access to determine whether a computer is allowed to connect to your corporate resources or not, for example you could say that you need anti-virus to be up to date and Windows patch version to be 10.0.x.x or higher to connect to Office 365. You can use it to join your devices to Azure AD but they don't need to be connected to an on-premise AD to be managed.
