thanks, got it working well.

We have recently migrated from exchange 2010 standalone server to an exchange 2013 cluster. Previously we had a single DB, Single server. Now we have 4 servers, 3 databases. Everything is working pretty well, except for one user, whose mailbox is causing him all sorts of grief. Using any mail client (OWA, iOS Mail, Outlook for iOS, Outlook on Mac) the performance is completely unusable. Switching between mail and calendar takes upwards of 60s. There are duplicate calendar entries appearing and reappearing. This *seems* to have started since he installed the beta of Office 2016 for Mac, but there a whole bunch of us in the office using this same version with no problems. I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps but cannot figure this one out, so hopefully someone here can think of something I haven't. Removing the mail from all mobile devices Running a New-MailboxRepairRequest (nothing found) Moving his mailbox from one db to another to remove any corruption (there was 0 'bad items') This is causing the user a massive loss in productivity, and it happens to be my BOSS! So, is there anything else I should think of. Perhaps getting him to uninstall office 2016?

Im looking to create a bash script that I can call as a scheduled cron job to run a db2 command to manipulate a db2 database. I know bash and cron well enough to get this part, but I dont know the db2 command line interface enough I can run db2 connect to from the command line and establish a connection to the DB. What I need to do, is establish a connection to the DB, and then run an SQL command such as: INSERT INTO DB2INST1.TEST_SCHEDULE (TIME, "SYSTEM") VALUES (current_timestamp, 'RB_test'); Is there a way to run each of these SQL commands using the db2 command line? Do I need to save this query into a .sql and run a specific command to execute it? Hoping someone on here has some db2 from the bash cli experience who can help please

Thats awesome, thanks very much

Ive been asked to turn on NTFS auditing on our file servers so we can track who is doing what with the files. Is there a decent article I can read that will cover issues like overhead, usage, requirements, offloading logs to something like splunk etc, and also a best practices HOW-TO guide of implementation?

I cant believe its almost 5 years since I made the Original thread for this, and thanks @elsiegee40 for keeping it going. I'm not sure what my last post in this thread was, and I honestly haven't read much of it at all, and I haven't been active around here much at all either so apologies for that too. When I started the original thread, I wrote I just thought that I would make a post given that this morning when I stepped on the scales, it read 79.9kg. Im almost back at my 17 year old weight, now 32... I found a groupon for a hypnotherapist in 2013 and went to see them, and they gave me a cd to listen to which i listened to sporadically. Im not sure if that was the solution, as this has been so gradual, and I think stopping driving to work and walking to the bus stop and getting public transport each way has also helped, but Ive literally had to recently buy a whole new set of clothes and give to charity all my old ones. I still binge drink as much as I ever have, and I fluttered with a gym membership for about 6 months but that didnt really work out. I used to find it condescending when I would ask someone how they lost their weight and they couldn't really answer, saying they did nothing much, etc, but I guess I am now doing the same... the only thing I can say is it is a marathon, (for me 5 years) and there is no miracle cure, just little changes, over a long time, will pay dividends. - - - Updated - - - I cant believe its almost 5 years since I made the Original thread for this, and thanks @elsiegee40 for keeping it going.

Thanks. NTLM SSO only works with domain joined computers though right? We're a BYO school,, mostly use Mac.. Is there anywhere that shows what the Paper cut plugin actually does?

I notice on the Papercut website (PaperCut KB | Adding the PaperCut Web Widgets in Moodle) there is a section about integrating Papercut with Moodle, but it looks out of data. I wonder if @penfold_99 or anyone else could advise if there is an updated plugin for moodle 2.x ? And also, if there is a SAML or other SSO mechanism to automate the sign in from Moodle to Papercut?

Im not using DFS for Sophos share. What path did you put for the network folder? Does the account used require read/write access or just read only?

I cant get any of my Mac clients to update from the SMB share. I have just built a new 2012R2 Windows server, installed the latest Sophos console, and manually browsed to the smb share to run the mac installer. I have entered various smb:// paths in the autoupdate field, and the same credentials I used to manually mount the share and install the software from, but I cannot get any of the clients to autoupdate from the share. I don't really want to have to set them to update from the Internet as this kind of defeats the purpose of having the Enterprise Console. Am I missing something stupid about Autoupdating from SMB?

our old CFO has created an excel document that populates its tables via an ODBC connection to our financial software. She has since left, and the new CFO is trying to use this document. I am 100% clueless about ODBC connections etc, but what I have been able to ascertain is that the document will only allow access when logged in as the old CFO, on her specific desktop, that has a specific name. Is there an easy way for me to analyze the document connections and try to understand what is going on?

We are maintaining multiple systems where users are having to be recreated manually. Some systems we have managed to get them to 'sync' the user accounts (eg from our SMS to our LMS), but we have to manually create users in AD, in our SMS, and in our Financial System. Some of our systems support LDAP so we can use the same credentials, and some we have implemented SSO (eg from Moodle to GoogleDocs), and there is also some bespoke systems for eg Office365 (cut down FIM) Im looking at a bunch of vendors to pull this all together for us, probably using FIM, but have any of you implemented a similar structure before? What did you use?

actually this does seem to work. The two errors were for reg keys that didnt exist, but the 3rd key does and gets deleted. I guess the few servers that I did have showing were the ones I tested this on, but saw that error and thought it wasnt working. Ive managed to get 23 showing now. Hopefully they will report their status overnight..

That's a good question. I would have hoped they did but I shall find out.

Hi yes I have had that as an available startup script GPO and was something I had tried, but get a key not found on 2012R2 ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

I had thought of that but the idea of manually trying to run windows updates on 30 servers during a 2 hour scheduled outage window is a bit troubling. Did you happen to remember any of the other WSUS specific ones and I can try to download then script their install using wusa.exe

Thanks Steve, yeh the GPO has that already configured.

We recently went through a review process for replacing our 4 year old Fortinet UTM. We PoC a fair few of the big vendors mentioned in this thread, as well as a small local player, and we ended up refreshing the Fortinet hardware. We have been BYO multi device multi OS (2000+ users, 2000+ devcies, 1GB Internet) for a while now and Radius SSO was a key component that not all of them did.

We've deployed a new server room recently, all 2012R2 VMs from template. Have provisioned around 30 new servers, one of them a new WSUS server. I have modified and applied our existing WSUS GPO to point to the new server, all of our legacy 2008R2 servers have registered on the new WSUS, but only about 6 of the new ones are reporting. Ive tried recreating the WSUS GPO directly on a 2012R2 server, tried the usual wuauclt /detectnow tricks from yesteryear. Is there some trick I'm missing? (I know I should really migrate our patch management to SCCM but thats a job for much later)

Timely thread. Installing and setting up papercut is one of my Easter holiday jobs too. Apologies for hijacking OP Can I just install the trial version to get us going fully functional and then licnese the software within 30 days? Do any of you use the ipad native app on a large enterprise network with a large ipad deployment without finding the bonjour broadcasts killing the network?

Ive used an online barcode label maker to print some barcodes for our latest batch of Dell LTO5 media. Both the dell tape drive and Backup Exec 2014 read the labels and display the name, but Backup Exec isnt able to determine the type of media and just showing Unknown Media This is the first time IVe swapped out the tapes since upgrading to 2014 so Im not sure if its an issue with the Barcodees themselves or a Backup Exec 2014 issue. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Im looking for some assistance getting some custom reports from our FortiAnalyzer. Logging close to 5GB/day of usage but the output reports we have are just slightly modified from the existing built in. Theres so much data, and Im not fully SQL literate to try to create my own datasets for charts etc. Is anyone doing anything creative?

Hands On With “YouTube Kids,” Google’s Newly Launched, Child-Friendly YouTube App | TechCrunch Saw this released today. It doesnt really help us for students not on a Mobile device though...

We have a fleet of Macbooks, Imacs and Mac Airs which are running a mix of 10.9.4 and 10.9.5 and have an 802.1x wifi configuration profile to join our wifi and facilitate the login to AD. The user enters their credentials which authenticates them on the Wifi, and then logs them in to the Mac using their credentials. I have proved the wifi config profile joins them onto the wireless network OK, every time, but the actual logging in to the domain is inconsistent. I'm not sure what to trouble shoot to see where this process might be breaking?
