thanks Tom. Do I need to go through customtech? I need to have a solution in place for close of business wednesday, so will speak to my boss tomorrow see what he says and then get a price from them asap. Cheers

D-Link NetDefend Network Security UTM Firewall, 1 WAN, 1 DMZ, 4 LAN, 2-Year IPS/AV/WCF Subscription does anyone have experience of these?

ok so the watchguard thing was over 3 grand for a year. Does anyone know what the cost for smoothwall is for just 40 users? @tom_newton do they do licenses on term by term basis rather than year by year?

once scotland gets independance we can start exporting this sought after commodity to you lot for a fee

I have a lot to say on this matter. Mostly opinion notr a lot of it fact. But i will be back to enlighten you all with my ramblings at a later point

whats the link? i keep getting redirected to google.com.au

IVe got linux knowledge but time is the factor I dont have much spare of. Ive found an old one of these in a cupboard: watchguard firebox x5500e Does anyone know if this will do anything without it being on any sort of contract?

tin? tried a variety of intel and realtek. all wireless.

woudlnt that be overkill for just 40 laptops? Is ruckus consumer grade? TBH, i dont even know if ruckus exists over here..

cant figure out how to delete this post but just ignore it. Ive outsourced it an a contractor is doing it all for me so I dont need to worry

We have a number of small biuldings and i want to connect them together using wireless. There will be less than 10 users in each building. One building has a 1meg internet line. Im looking for some cheap consumer grade equipment that will work outdoors on 11n that I can use to connect the buildings together. The longest distance between the buildings is only 40m, there are no trees. What would you all suggest? Cheers

Aha. Thanks

Im trying to change the MAC address in windows 7 and it doesnt seem to be working. Ive tried both using the built in properties of the network adapter, and 3rd party tools such as SMAC but I cant seem to get it to take. Used to work fine in XP. Is there something different to do this in W7?

I use Keepass KeePass Password Safe Then I only need to remember one password. And its about 75 chars long ;p

I'm not going to waste money on a commercial product as this is just for a 1 off term for only about 40 students. I want something quick and easy I can just set up and dump there just to filter their web. The laptops all have AV on them. Squid and Dansguardian sounds like a faff to setup unless there is a really comprehensive how-to especially designed for school filtering? I will have a play with TMG today and see what it can do.

when i go along to Network, the only options i have are Online Instruction Manuals Remote Play Internet Browser Internet Search Life With Playstation there is no manage downloads

all ok here too, and office live and skydrive and mail is all ok too

We have Enterasys wireleass gear, and with the NAC addon we have self-service wireless registration and can specify the number of devices per user. Its not cheap though

We have a whole bunch of students going to a remote campus for a term, and I need to set up some filtering and a caching proxy for them. I have the full MS Schools agreemeent, would I be better off using MS solution ISA (is it called somehting else now?) or setting up squid and dg.

ive got a load of demos in my download queue but i cannot figure out how to remove them.. any tips?

Found that one just as I was leaving work.. Its enabled now.. Cheers

the exact way in that webpage by using a shortcut they created

Ok a few things to update this. Ive had one of the students in question down to show me how they were being able to view AD, and this was the method: Quickly Search Active Directory from the Desktop How can I block that? Can I disable them from running that exe via GP. Also, it still doesn't explain why they can change the settings of a teacher, but it seems to be limited to just a single teacher, so I think I might just delete them and recreate them. Also we are running at 2003 functional level so Im going to ditch the 2003 DCs and upgrade to 2008R2 functional level.. Also, is there a way of removing the ability of non-admins from joining machines to the domain?

cheers, i didnt realise there was an up to date thread from literally yesterday on the exact same topic! Ive implemented the custom adm which seems to be working well, so will see how that goes. thaksn

IS a reg hack/custom adm the only way to do this? Is there not this functionality built into GPO?
