are you using surfprotect fusion?

Exa is alright, i left them about a year ago and went to schools broadband after i had some issues with filtering and speed though (im still in an adsl only area so im limited for speed) if you have your own filtering away from them it shouldn't be an issue. I do know that they were developing a better onsite firewall so things may have improved. (FYI schools broadand hasn't exactly been plain sailing either)

I'd be looking DNS and client isolation settings on your switches/router

again hills components are good for bits just started getting some stuff from Kiss Global too

Yep I had that too, and wanting to add me on linkedin. web reviews are terrible for them.

hi guys I had a call directly from sophos this afternoon, I expect they are making the rounds and will be in contact. the basics from what was discussed, at present the licences are still valid but as they still technically belong to ICT4C and could in theory be sold off to a third-party. They are not sure at the moment of what happens in terms of renewal. As for updating ect I cant help with that as I migrated my setup to sophos cloud so I don't go via ICT4C/YHGFL again i guess they will either give you new update servers or get you to migrate.

if you need av/pc leads give hills components a shout

i had this a few times and was only ever solved but yhgfl remoteing on setting update server to sophos's own updating then removing it. just moved to sophos cloud and seems much better.

nrs has problems anyway. i had to write my own scripts to get it to work and had to point out errors in the kitchen software with its colour picker and bits

noooo pick up many laptops and bits from them throughout the year.

just received our letter luckily I only have sophos from them but would be great to know where we stand interms of this and future licencing. Just moved everyting to sophos cloud so at least im also not relying on their upstream server for updates too. every council barring Leeds has given a new phone number to ring so im now waiting on emails.

I have mine setup in year of entry then my GPOs are linked to outer Key stage and year group OUs. then i can just move them up at the end of the year. Sent from my SM-A510F using EduGeek mobile app

its called the same in lightspeed. I also hate the over complicated setup arrangement especially when using configurator, I tend to go for DEP where possible. I do seem to remember having this issue but cant remember the resolution off hand. I do seem to think I was reimaging the ipads at the time anyway. the other thing i remember doing wastransferring my blueprint and configs to configurator 2 as it didnt do it automatically. I'll have a look over my notes on monday when im back in.

i take it you've tried reinstalling and updating ios Sent from my SM-A510F using EduGeek mobile app

Is Background app refresh enabled in setting and background refresh enabled on the apps themselves?

Hi, i've had some experience over this, now running around 30 ipads here. To start with i used meraki but found it terribly limited but ok for free. I eventually got funds to go go a paid solution and moved everything to Lightspeed. cant really fault it, more in depth options and far easier to deploy apps (although my meraki setup was before DEP so thinks may have changed).

If your meaning OneDrive for bussiness as part of Office365 it is disabled by design. You can manually upload photos/videos via the app otherwise this would need to be done with a personal account and the standard OneDrive app

We had a phone line in a cupboard in the dining hall we were paying for god knows how long (at least 4 years) before I took phones into IT from our site manager! Sent from my SM-A510F using EduGeek mobile app

I've picked up a few refurbs in the past as generL classroom laptops. the biggest issue ive had with them is batteries which have lower periods of warranty or non at all. other than that they're ok if your tight for funds otherwise I prefer to get new.

Hi all, Im finally adding some windows 10 machines to our domain (2012r2 DC). Is there any guides for setting up, what GPOs to take note of and things to look out for? Thanks!

Hi Mark, The issue regarding the non filtering was reported on 24/04/15 and was dealt with by David on the SurfProtect team. After experiencing various filtering issues, I isolated my laptop from our Sophos Web Control policy to take it to SurfProtect only, this resulted in no filtering allowing me access to any site including pornographic and the bannedsite.surfprotect.co.uk test page. Our Profile has now been configured as to function using the old surfprotect panel for management. Additionally as a note to other users: I am not here to rate the service of any company be that of Exa or any other. I am simply here to enquire what other schools use and look at methods of multiple lines of safeguarding children from the dark side of the net. I hope everyone would agree that this is a top priority This was a video on the website LiveLeak showing the decapitation of a man!

for example i am trying to block on-line chat sites but as SurfProtect sees them as unclassified it allows them though and even though i have added various sites to the block list, they are not being blocked. Other examples include being able to search things like c u n t, bum plug, nip slip, rabbit vibe and the abillity to play graphic videos such as this * Graphic Video link removed by moderators * Even though when I lookup these sites other classification systems, they do list the relevant categories and should be blocked. Following recent updates to SurfProtect, I also ended up with an unfiltered line. I'm not essentially looking to replace anything more looking to add to our network with multiple levels of protection and advancement of what we currently have. I did previously see a demo of smoothwall and it brings features that are not availiable via surfprotect, ie removing youtube comments.

do you guys have multiple LANs, multiple domains and subnets on the UTM? or would you need a UTM per LAN

Hi all, Wondering what people are using away from the LEA ISP. We moved away from Leeds Learning and switched to EXA. Initially their filtering was great but as of late many websites seem to be uncategorised and allows access so i have to block these with Sophos. Currently we use only the router basic firewall and setup a spare server as a VPN server for file access at home (staff laptops only) Leading me to look at something better (at low cost if possible). From what I can see it would be better to stick a UTM in and have that take up the slack but I'm not quite sure what would fit the bill. We still operate as a 2 domain school with curriculum and admin on 2 subnets, each has its own gateway on the router (Vigor 2830) currently filtered by exa per subnet. and an additional guest gateway on a separate WiFi VLAN We would like Decent content filtering per subnet and linked to AD groups (essentially only the curriculum needs AD) Secure VPN (only needed for curriculum) decent firewall, which allows admin to see curriculum but blocks curriculum seeing admin and sandboxes guest Wireless. I'd also like to be able to add another subnet for third party systems i.e. PBX that can't see the other nets but that can see it. hope this makes sense.
