Hi Just wondering if anyone knows of a way I can change the size of the Homedrive for a bulk number of users, possibly using a CSV file and powershell script? Although i'm open to any suggestions because im not sure of the best way to go around it Thanks Craig

If anyone else is wanting to know this is the line I ended up with to produce what I wanted: Get-mailbox –resultsize “unlimited” | get-mailboxstatistics | where-object {$_.TotalitemSize –ge 25MB} | select-object Displayname,LastLoggedonUserAccount,TotalItemSize,LastLogonTime | export-csv c:\mailbox Must use select-object and not format-table because format-table should always be the last command. If it is not the CSV will not display correctly. You can also use the following but it displays too much information to be useful, however you can run this to find out which columns you want to display and how to type it displayname,lastloggedonuseraccount etc Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where-Object { $_.TotalItemSize -ge 2GB} | Export-Csv -Path C:\mailbox.csv

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys this gives me a nice starting point

Hi Just looking for a script that will display all the full mailboxes within exchange 2010 if its at all possible. I want to be able to export this list into a CSV aswell ideally. Any help or an explanation would be great thanks Craig

Hi Got a problem at the minute in that not all of our students are receiving important exams information because their mailboxes are full. Does anyone know if there is a way within Outlook Management console or using a Powershell script that will enable me to list all the accounts with full mailboxes? So I can send a list to tutors. I assumed this would be easy but cannot find a way at the minute Any help would be great Thanks

Got this figured out now using GPP and in testing mode, hopefully will solve a very random irritating problem. Thanks for the help

Group policy preferences is something i've not tried yet and sounds a good idea. At the risk of sounding a bit daft, how have you done this? created ini files?

Hi At the minute we have got printing working through scripts in group policy where wherever you log in you should get the printer for that room, but recently students are picking up these printers and they are staying in their roaming profiles, so when they log on somewhere else they still have other rooms printers avaliable to them. Or sometimes the policy just doesn't kick in and they don't pick up the current rooms printer at all. Has anyone got a failsafe solution they currently implement and if so how does it work please? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks Craig

Thanks for the advice guys but think we have sorted it. During the holiday we had tried moving the server that holds the profiles onto an additional SAN but had an error. We have moved the profiles to a different disk now and everything seems to be working fine. Fingers crossed

Hi Intruiging little issue has popped up since we came back from the christmas "Break" wondered if anyone could offer an insight. We are having an issue when students log on where logon gets stuck from anything of a minute up to 15 when the verbose stage on screen is please wait for User profile service. Now this issue only happens for the students and is only really from 11.30am untill 12 but has happened every day. There are no scheduled tasks running that could effect this and no policy kicks in at a specific time. There are also no significant messages in the event viewer of any of the 3 DCs. Scratching my head a bit and so are the other guys. Anyone got any ideas or a route we could look down? bit stuck to be fair Thanks

Hi I have just had a certificate error pop up when trying to access our Cisco Phone system Via the web. I am being told certificates have expired. When I look in active directory certificate services the Enterprise PKI has a big red cross next to it, upon closer investigation it appears that the 5 year CA root certificate has expired. The main problem I have with this is that the server that I take it issued the certificate was decomissioned back in 2012. Does this mean I will have to set the whole lot up from scratch or is there an alternative way around this? Apologies if I haven't given enough information or detail but this is the first time I have dealt with certificate services in any way. So any help would be greatly appreciated. also if you need further info to possibly help me out I will try to aquire it Thanks in advance Craig

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Ive got a better idea of how it works now, having trouble connecting to the ASA through the browser but that's a seperate problem at the minute. Thanks again

Hi Just wanting some advice really or for someone to tell me im missing something really obvious. I have very little in terms of experience with this but I need to add a range of IPs to our firewall, I have recieved the ASDM software but it is in the form of a .bin file. I have tried to mount this using different pieces of software and none seem to work. Has anyone installed this from the BIN file at all and if so what am I doing wrong? this has kind of been dropped on me as the guy who did this kind of stuff has recently left Thanks

Yeah that was already set. Think we've fixed it by disabling the internet lockdown policy, then re-enabling. Whether that has made it pick up the policy settings where it wasn't before I do not know but it's suddenly started working. Glad but at the same time frustrating because i'm not entirely sure why. Thanks

Hi We currently have an issue where Single sign on isn't working within Chrome for Student users. When opening IE it gathers the credentials fine and works without issue. For staff it works fine using either. I'm assuming it's a setting within a GPO somewhere but cannot put my finger on it Wondering if anyone could offer any advice Thanks in advance Craig

Hi, I have been using the following VB script to add computers to the domain for some time now. Suddenly on our dell 9020s it has stopped working, it says domain joined as though it has reached the end of the script without issue but it hasn't actually worked. It works on all other machine still fine and nothing to my knowledge has changed on the Dell. It's a mystery. If anyone could give me any insight it would be much appreciated. Thanks Const JOIN_DOMAIN = 1Const ACCT_CREATE = 2 Const ACCT_DELETE = 4 Const WIN9X_UPGRADE = 16 Const DOMAIN_JOIN_IF_JOINED = 32 Const JOIN_UNSECURE = 64 Const MACHINE_PASSWORD_PASSED = 128 Const DEFERRED_SPN_SET = 256 Const INSTALL_INVOCATION = 262144 strDomain = "network" strUser = "username" strPassword = "password" Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName Set objComputer = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\" & _ strComputer & "\root\cimv2:Win32_ComputerSystem.Name='" & _ strComputer & "'") ReturnValue = objComputer.JoinDomainOrWorkGroup(strDomain, _ strPassword, strDomain & "\" & strUser, NULL, _ JOIN_DOMAIN + ACCT_CREATE) MsgBox "Finished Domain change!", vbSystemModal+vbInformation

I have had a few students recently that have deleted whole folders by mistake from USB sticks and portable hardrives. Does anyone know of any good software that can recover whole folders? I use recuva to get back individual files but for some reason it cannot see when whole folders have been deleted. Any help would be much appreciated as its pretty frustrating Thanks Craig

Hi we are having major issues with adobe CS6 producing a serious amount of appdata for each student on the system. I am looking to delete the adobe appdata folder on a weekly basis to avoid serious buildup with the use of a script and scheduled task but am not sure which way to go about this or if this is the correct approach.The appdata folder is currently redirected to a hidden share on the network. Any help with this at all would be greatly recieved. Thanks Craig

Hi Hearing a lot about this virus and the many problems it is causing by encrypting files and charging the user for an access key. Anyone seen any evidence for it yet or had first hand experience of it? If so any recommendations for safeguarding the network or precautionary tactics other than the obvious Infosecurity - CryptoLocker: The Ransomware There's No Coming Back From Thanks Craig

Did you find any solution to this? I am having the exact same issue this morning with our M401DN

Not 100% sure as ive only noticed it when ive gone to log back in as the admin later in the day

No the account hasn't been disabled. It seems to only happen when connecting through RDP though I think

Yeah it really is, cant find anyone that's even had anything remotely similar. It just stops working, I have to go into AD logged in as myself and reset it
