  1. Just came back for a visit for the first time in a few years and this was my first thought when my firefox https everywhere settings warned of http only... PS Hello everyone
  2. Came here to post the same question.. I guess its 2020 and hardly any of us would be doing printing at home these days, seeing as though you can even get photos printed and posted to you for free these days,.. However now I'm stranded at home and don't have access to the works MFP I'm looking for something to use in my locked down home office. I had a colour Xerox a few years ago that was great, replacement toners not too expensive but the Fuser broke and it was prohibitive to replace.. I had an old workhorse HP lasertjet in the garage, served me solid for about 10 years till I just didn't need it anymore and it went into 'storage', but it had had sat there for about 5 years untouched and was absolutely covered in all sorts of gunk. I cleaned it up good and proper but the insides must have been just as caked and all the mechanical seized and then electrics burned out as soon as I powered it on.
  3. Is there an opensource or public domain feed or list of words and phrases that would be indicators of self harm or cyberbullying that is kept upto date with emerging "lingo"? Or is there a thread on here already perhaps? Does anyone have ears to the ground that are feeding back emerging trends from the student body? How are we all keeping on top of things like the "blue Whale game" from a few years ago, or the "momo challenge" from earlier this year, and any new and emerging child safety issues. Interested to hear everyone's approach to this. RB
  4. If you are looking at a FortiGate to do your security and Web Filtering, I'd agree with the above and suggest a FortiAnalyzer. While out the box the K-12 specific reports are a bit lacking, as everything is stored in the FortiAnalyzer database and just requires being extracted and represented in charts/reports there is a custom K-12 reporting dataset and templates that can be imported and customised which apparently will be added to the out-the-box installation in the near future.
  5. My oneplus2 is badly needing an replacement.. think the 6T might be the go
  6. That works perfectly. Thanks heaps!
  7. Im trying to create a workbook with cells with dropdown options that the user can change and it will update the results accordingly. I'm struggling with the formula to do the calculation for the different iterations of the contents of the dropdown cells. What I have working is =IF(B5="Yes",IF(B6=1,"Year 1 Yes")) This works great when we choose "1" from the year column and "Yes" from the opt-in column I tried then combining it with =IF(B5="Yes",IF(B6=1,"Year 1 Yes")),IF(B5="No",IF(B6=1,"Year 1 No")) But that doesn't seem to work as its expecting a 'value if false' Could someone please point me in the right direction here please, spent pretty much all day tearing my hair out with this.. Ive tried the new IFS too but I don't think thats of use here? Many thanks
  8. Im trying to figure out how I can export a Cisco ASA's web Filter rules to a text file like I can do with the firewall config.. Ive got a nice pretty pdf report of all the web filter rules, but its not much use to me wanitng to find and grep etc. Is there a way of getting these into a similar output that the running-config would show for example? Cheers RB.
  9. thanks for the link... i dont seem to be able to add the accidental damage cover on that site though.
  10. I want to buy a Dell Laptop for my father and am used to getting great Edu discounts for the ones I buy for work, but would rather buy a UK one for him so I can get the local accidental damage cover included. Do we have any partners or sponsors here that would facilitate an educational price for a personal purchase?
  11. Hoping someone can help with an ESX licensing question please. Ive got 3 hosts on a Nutanix block, so they're using a shared datastore, and currently it is configured where the 3 hosts are part of a cluster. But I don't need any of the enterprise features such as clustering, vmotion / highavailability, etc. I have a VMWare Essentials 6.5 license as I was led to believe the 3 hosts license and our non use of the enterprise features would mean this license was sufficient for our needs, but I think currently its created as a cluster, its not letting me add this Essentials license, or it could be that because I currently have vApps set up on each host? I use this infrastructure as a training environment for the students and need to shutdown, revert and power on these VMs frequently and in bulk, each student having their own vAPP, so I have created a nice little PowerCLI script to do this. So my question is can I use vaPPs and manage them with PowerCLI if I break the cluster and just operate vSphere with 3 standalone hosts and an Essentials license? I have 10 days left in Evaluation mode and need to get something sorted.
  12. Our sys admin guys have just upgraded from VMWare ESX 5.5 to VMWare ESX 6.5 and now all of our guest VMs are having loads of problems. They couldnt manage to upgrade the Vsphere manager so created a new instance which stuffed up all my vapps which I have had to re-create manually but now that Ive put all the VMs into the right vApps, I have lost network connectivity for most of them Hardware is a Nutanix Cluster and they advise me they have upgraded that to a correctly supported version.. any ideas where I could start troubleshooting what might be wrong with the networking?
  13. there is the FortiConverter app, but doesn't have the source as being iptables.. spoke to fortinet PS team locally and they didn't have any suggestions really so I thought maybe Id reach out internationally.. Even if i could just parse it to get source and dest details into a CSV, i could script it to then insert into fortiOS format.
  14. Ive inherited a linux box with about 3000 iptables rules, and been tasked with migrating them over to our next gen firewall (its a fortigate..) I was wondering if anyone had a script, or such, or even knew how i could even attempt to write one, that would parse the iptables rules and somehow convert them into a csv or some sort of format that would make it easier for me to import into the new firewall? Any suggestions how to even think about approaching this so I don't have to do this by hand? Thanks in advance.
  15. Been struggling with this for a few hours and hoping someone can help I have created a whole bunch of VirtualPortGroups on a vswitch I need to enable Promiscious mode for all of them Ive done New-VirtualPortGroup -VirtualSwitch vSwitch1 -Name Student4-LAN3 to make them then Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name "Student4-LAN3" | Set-VirtualPortGroup -VLanId 403 to set VlanIDs and now im trying to enable promiscious mode on these using Get-VirtualPortgroup -Name "Instructor-LAN1" | Get-SecurityPolicy | Set-SecurityPolicy -AllowPromiscuous $true but thats not correct, even though it looks correct from here https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.powercli.cmdletref.doc%2FSet-SecurityPolicy.html Does anyone know PowerCli a bit better than I do that could help please
  16. I imagine this should be fairly straight forward but I cant seem to find any examples of it to help me. I have the following Postgre SQL query: select field1, field2, field3, field4 from table where field1 = 'text' and field4 is not null Which works well, and displays the results in the format Field1 | Field2 | Field3 | Field4 I am trying to concatenate Field2 and Field3 results so it will show the results as: Field1 | Field2Field3 | Field4 What would the SQL query for this be please? Many thanks RB
  17. I have an NPS server I use for RADIUS for authenticating users on to our wireless network. The first time they join the wifi, they are prompted to accept the un-trusted locally generated certificate. This cert expires in a couple of days. Is it as simple as renewing the cert with the same key, and will the clients simply update the cert? Or will they get prompted again to trust the new certificate? Or will they lose wireless access altogether? We have mostly OSX and iOS clients, with a handful of windows laptops, Im really hoping this doesnt cause a massive problem!
  18. Ive googled this and tried all of the suggested options I could find such as: Disabling Google Now on all screens Uninstalling various apps Rebooting Trying the speakerphone method Running the stock rom, and this seems to have got worse to a point of completely breaking since the most recent OTA update early Jan. This affects all calls not just voice, eg facebook, whatsapp, viber as well. Is my phone stuffed completly or is it a software bug? Positng here first but will cross post on the OPO forums. Hopefully someone can help? Happy New Year all!
  19. We migrated my standalone Exchange 2010 server to a cluster of 4 Exchange 2013 servers, with 2 Database Server with a DAG and 2 Client Access Servers which was set up by a 3rd party, pretty much a year ago. They have implemented WAP and ADFS (2 of each clustered) as well, however as of the last 24 ours signing into OWA through ADFS is no longer working.. From researching today it seems the ADFS certificates have rolled over, and I have tried step 7 on this Technet page, and run the following commands on Rall the exchange servers to add the Thumbprint of the newly self-generated Primary Certificates, and restarted IIS But this doesnt seem to work. I have also exported the certs and tried to import them into the certificate store on the CAS servers, but this didnt make any difference. Ive never really used ADFS much before and not sure where to go next for troubleshooting this... after I enter my credentials at ADFS i just get a https://mail.mydomain.com.au/?authToken={long_alphanumeric_string} Is anyone able to offer some advice please? Many thanks! Rabbie
  20. It still isnt showing on mine, yet our students have been able to download it from o365 since July..
  21. Has anyone any experience with this company out of Denmark? InLogic | Automatic user management for the educational sector They are trying to break in the the Australian market just wondering if they are used in the UK?
  22. Have you looked at Ad Muncher instead? Its now free. https://www.admuncher.com/ This doesnt answer your question about deploying chrome browser extensions and it annoys me when people answer my posts with an alternative rather than an answer so I do apologise for that
  23. We have had a request to change the way that Moodle sends out notifcaitons of forum posts to subscribed users and Im not sure if it is possible. We have set it so the notifications come from [email protected] but the display name of the email is still showing the name of the user who made the post. This is causing confusion to teachers who think the users are emailing them directly. Is there any way to change the default behaviour of the email notifications such that the display name can be somehting generic also, such as Moodle Notification or something?
  24. Awesome, that is great many thanks!
  25. I have a log file I want to be able to read only a specific line from.. It looks like this: rb@linux:~/rrb_test> cat output.txt 1 ----------- 18 1 record(s) selected. How can I use cat / awk / sed whatever to take only the line that has 18 in it and save that to another file please?
