I know Edugeek uses AWS for its sites/associated services and this thread is also addressed to anyone who uses AWS. How do you prevent/mitigate against the possibility of getting a huge bill for bandwidth say something went rogue and started either pushing out traffic or someone constantly downloading from your services? Its the one thing that has put me off AWS/IAAS given that I've had the latter of the above examples happen previously, thankfully I was with a supplier which had unmetered egress.

@Oaktech what company is it you are using? BT Local Business is a fair shout aswell. I believe they do Smoothwall.

Both include filtering, firewall, connection etc. Very much like-for-like otherwise we wouldn't consider them.

Virgin Media are giving us good prices currently via their education team. @SchoolsBroadband are also coming out competitive.

If SWGfL were dealing with corporate clients rather than schools, they'd cease to exist with this track record!

I rest my case!

Had an issue with Google images yesterday but nothing so far today.

I'm guessing you've tried disabling the local firewall on the PC?

Is this a first time deployment or an upgrade?

When you set the path to the Chrome MSI, did you use a full UNC path: \\svr-01\msi\googlechrome\chrome.msi I usually give everyone read permissions on the MSI aswell to avoid any permissions errors.

I had hell of a time trying to get it to work. Just to check you must have the following in your proxy exceptions list (if you use a proxy that is): 127.0.0.1 localhost Otherwise it won't connect. Additionally, I found the software didn't install nicely on machines, so I ended up installing it on my machine and getting it working nicely, then Robocopying the software out to the clients.

Just me?

Oh wait, it was Google's fault last time wasn't it. Who's getting the blame this time?
