w32tm /query /configuration w32tm /query /status might help shed some light? also i concur checking ports are not blocked.

okay so i've answered my own question, Regular Expression Library

I'm after a regex expression to determine if a item of text contains only a URL and nothing else (Spam rule) I'm thinking this should be possible and am reading about it at the moment, if anyone already knows what it is please post it.! My regex is a little rusty, so I've a little catching up to do.

hmm I suspect btizer works for them? 1 post and signed up to answer that? Not a problem but I think you should approach it like Nigel and be upfront.

it is... via this ClamAV Unofficial Signatures Updater | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net you can't use apt-get because the clamav install is part of mailcleaner so isn't officially installed as far as the package manager is concerned. I setup a windows mail realy as the second stage, using Trend OfficeScan (as thats what we use on endpoints) so it autoupdates itself and seems have been quite sucessfull. i used this for the second stage hMailServer - Free email server for Microsoft Windows at least source is available in case i need to modify, (maybe add more that one virus scanner.)

ifup / ifdown doesn't work its done through NetworkManager the interface is enabled in the "control panel" for networking.

i know where you're coming from there, its a tricky decision to make, especially if you use DPM for backups

eth0 doesn't seem to work, but i haven't put a lot of time into as i normally use wlan0 gets a connection light, just the operating system never see or reports the link is up.. weird. might look into it next time i need eth0

i removed it from my custom blocked content and it was allowed through. I'll be adding the other urls on this page. My personal attitude is it should never be allowed in schools, but i can't force my view on other people

i think it depends whos written it. i read an article yesterday that had an interesting summary, "microsoft thinks in if statements. google thinks in bayes theorum"

one fun one i came up against recently, was where the program crashed at startup, no indication of what was wrong other than what looked like referencing an invalid memory address/null pointer type of crash. After inspection with process monitor, it turned out it was trying to write to a file name debug.log in the root of C:\ are most school networks that badly managed that they let students write all over the c: drive? to make matters worse (after we created a dummy blank file and allowed permissions to it via GPO) it turns out the program was trying to write one line the text "no errors" !

you last sentence just made procure21 spring to mind for some reason, it was an incredibly long document, infact far too long than it needed to be.

have you ever read the procure21 whitepaper?

powershell is horrible, typical microsoft over-complication. hmmm vnc? i'd rather use rdp on via a different vlan.

because they may be in an emergency, where some toby thought it was funny to put windows 3.11 on their desktop. or they might not be at their desk, I wasn't suggesting it for day to day management. RDP is hideously insecure, cain does a excellent job of sniffing password given microsofts encryption choices.

no rsat tools tho, all powershell or cmd-line i wouldn't mind it if Microsoft had any idea of how to be consistent throughout their different divisions, so you could make an educated guess at the cmd and/or the parameters you need to run. 99% of nix commands at least respond to --help in fact 99% compile and install from source with ./configure && make install i don't understand how microsoft as one company can be so inconsistent in comparison to 1000s of projects all created and worked on by unconnected people. sorry for the rant...

there is something to be said for being able to fix a problem on a windows server with just an rdp client.

Yes I would be interested in trailing, and some indicative pricing.

i need to stop the users installing apps on android and changing settings etc. is lightspeed mdm seperate or part of the filtering?

Does anyone know how to buy this or get an eval? I can't find a uk number, i've left messages on their us number. emailed them , nothing.... do they want customers? or are they only interested in big orders ?? wtf anyone using? evalued ?

edit: http://www.randomsequence.com/articles/using-.htaccess-mod_rewrite-to-redirect-everyone-except-your-ip/ funny was really difficult to find this morning.

i want to redirect to / or serve up a "I'm currently working on this site, please be patient. We'll be back in 10 minutes...... its essential maintenance...." to all source ip's except one i designate i.e. the machine i'm testing from, whats the best way of doing this? if i was only worried about external clients accessing this site i would change the port forwarding at the firewall, but internal clients access it as well.

driver manager looks like its for proprietary drivers only, not ones that come with the kernel

apt dist-upgrade seemed to work fine after changes the sources.list anyone needed to get vmware workstation to work there is a nice easy script here installation - VMware 9 install not opening after extraction on 13.04 - Ask Ubuntu
