Hi All. We've been working on this story with Microsoft for a few weeks, and we're proud to say they've featured our story on Technet TechNet UK Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs full story here You don’t always need to see it, to believe it. - TechNet UK Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs Andy and Lewis have been helping various people from Edugeek and our clients in general, we couldn't be more proud of what they've acheived in light of their visual impairments. We've all learned so much from watching how they work, they continue to impress us..and everyone else they meet. If you've got any experience of tech professionals overcoming obstacles in the workplace it'd be good to hear them also. Thanks for reading Joe + The Team.

Hello all. Following a huge year for Satellite Broadband at CP we thought we'd advertise our pricing to make the cost of the solution clearer. Thus far we've not only covered rural areas but also sites in built up areas that are concerned with having a data connection in place for emergencies. The offerings are completely flexible, the most common (for contingency) is to rent the dish with a low speed & data allowance, then (in case of emergency) we can instantly ramp up the connection/data to suit. If you'd like to know a little more - Satellite Broadband for as little as £24.95 per month? - Computer Products Alternatively PM us for more details. Thanks for reading Joe CP Satellite Broadband Pricing.pdf

....or you could google it all. Specialists hey! Chris

Give us a call and our specialist Andy will run through it with you. 01536 316870 Chris

It really depends on how you want to control this aspect of the system and how you want to do it. I don’t know your config so can’t be specific with a fix all script for you here but I would be looking at changing permissions for your student user group using one of the following in combination with the group cmdlets. Set-RoleAssignmentPolicy Set-SiteMailboxProvisioningPolicy The first of the two are probably the most useful to you, feel free to ask more? Andy

You could group your users, set a tree structure and audience policy to control access. If you think it would help you can have a (free) chat with our O365 specialist if you phone him on 01536 316 870 Joe

We've not noticed any particular degradation or increase in support cases on legacy deployments, indeed i was speaking to a site this week running 7942's and a ZD1000that we'd deployed in 2009 without issue. Have there been any wired network changes recently or has this been a gradually evolving issue? Worth having a chat with your original reseller on it if you are certain it is a Ruckus specific issue, if they aren't proving helpful drop me a PM and i'll see what we can do for you. Mark

We can assist with this, possibly the largest barrier to implementnig MFA/2FA could be users being apprehensive to use personal mobiles to authenticate/alternatively certain members of staff or users that don't possess mobile phones at all (Surely there's one or two hardcore luddites left on the planet) Second barrier: if you're implementing that level of authentication, you've probably already considered VPN/SDN? We can also help with these. Don't forget you'll not only have cross-internet VPN you'll probably want to configure one in the datacentre also. Joe

This makes for an interesting read (admittedly talking about none controller managed deployments) but could well be pertinent, I think the final post on page 3 is quite telling... WNDAP360 and WNDAP660 incredibly unreliable Mark

Just checking; your .local domain is externally routable/ you have no trusts with any other forests and you have less than 50,000 items to sync or 300,000 items with a vanity domain? I can spare you 30mins for a chat if you need some guidance. Cheers, Andy 01536 316878

Try this in WAAD Set-MsolCompanySettings -SelfServePasswordResetEnabled false Andy

Yes it is timbo343 it is an extra - the SAM is the same also. Chris

Good Effort! That would work as a means to an end! There are a few risks in doing it that way that the less enlightened might trip over. The major one is if you remove the Exchange licence from an account you delete the mailbox.

If the Cloud account and the AD account are not showing “synchronized” it is probable that they have stopped synching because the proxy attributes are no longer matching. Check to see if these two users have any old mail attributes that could be confusing things. Check that you have the correct SMTP primary addresses listed in the local directory and in the Exchange mailbox for each miss matched account. Making sure that your SMTP primary is in capital in AD and the correct Primary is set in Exchange. Then rerun Dirsync if you had to make changes. This MAY allow the system to soft match on the SMTP addresses of the users. It is unlikely to match and if it doesn’t then it is likely that the AD and WAAD accounts have conflicting a GUID/ImmutableID.You will need to take the GUID convert it to an immutableID and set the immutableID in WAAD for the affected UPN using the script below in the Azure Powershell tool. Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -ImmutableId [ENTER IMMUTABLEid HERE] Good Luck! Andy

Have PM'd Chris

I have bought cars on ebay and I have to say it is probably a good thing - I found that when they are straight there as soon as it ends, they are a little too desperate to get rid if you know what I mean. Yes, they were skips on wheels! Chris

I have some part worns if anyone is interested 3 x Falken FK452 275/35zr19 96y Approx 6mm tread PM if you're interested, I'm not looking for anything much. Been sitting in my shed for 4 months. Joe

That is nothing. Please tell you saw the Panorama (I think it was Panorama) a few months ago which told about his tax evasion and the trust funds set up under his wife's family name etc. As well as the house he bought in London and then tried to sell it (trying to supposedly "clean" his money) If you didn't try and find it as it was shocking and they reckon he owes the tax man approaching the £700 million mark but they cannot prove it, no matter how hard they try. Cannot decide if I hate him as he stupid or hate him as he is smart! Chris
