Thanks. So 'none' would be 'raw' in putty?

Thank you. With putty, do I use Is -ssh, -telnet, -rlogin, -raw? Or something else? Thanks

Thanks Steve. I was really looking for a way to do this across the network (ip) as opposed to serial. Is there a tool that does the opposite of wol?

Hi there We have a sharp tv pn-q701. It's connected to the wired network. All good. Unfortunately this TV doesn't seem to be able to schedule itself on or off within the menus. Because it's connected to the network, I was wondering if I could send some commands to it over ip. The TV supports this. I've no idea about how to send pc commands to the TV. Ideally I'd like a script which we can schedule to send on and off commands. Pg 65 onwards has a few details https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://sharp.ca/uploads/product_downloads/PNUH601_701_OperationManual.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiHoo6x_dOIAxVZQkEAHfxZCw8QFnoECA8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw22B-95xaemFvwh-yxr7lEx Also found a helpful forum here. Apologies, I've not come across this before..is this through telnet, command line etc? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you both. We don't have SmoothWall, but have Fortinet and also ContentKeeper. Would either of these help? Regards Adblock, do you know if there is a central way to control settings of Adblock through Google Admin?

Hi, does anyone have any tips or extensions or policy settings that blocks ads for students, but doesn't have lots of negative consequences on the websites they use? We have chromebooks with Google Licenses to manage them in Google Admin. Thank you.

Hi See attached! We use Google drive across our school. Some teachers see folders where some files or folders have a cloud icon and other files or folders others don't (within the same folder, and all within Google drive on windows).Any idea why some folders seem to sync and others don't.Thanks

Thanks. We only have 2tb so fingers crossed! Thanks again. At the time we had nearly 23Tb to back up].

Thanks timbo343. Haven't got the specs of the line to hand but upgraded relatively recently with what at the time was a really good upgrade. Will check. Re backup, current plan is to use qubebackup to do an on site backup.

Good idea around backup internet phones. We have a few mobile dongles that we'll keep on standby.

Thanks elsiegee40, that makes complete sense. And agree - it would typically only be minimal time that the internet access goes down. Not really worth a seperate dedicated line.

Morning all, (apologies mods, had 2 questions on previous post and have now split into 2 different threads). Hopefully this post helps others thinking about what we have done and are doing, too. We are a large primary school (630 staff, 120 staff). We have windows network (server 2016). We also use Google Workspace, especially Drive. We've moved to solely using Google Drive for all of our SLT, teacher and office team files, and removed windows mapped drives which were used previously. We have retained some windows mapped drives but for less important stuff, but the important, regularly used files are on Google Shared Drives. As an aside, we'll also be using QubeBackup to create onsite backups to a different local machine. This will use a single, dedicated account and we're only really interested in backing up the shared drives. We've also implemented 2FA for remote access. We don't have SSO. Has anyone else moved from using shared windows drives to Google Shared drives, and found any caveats or things to be aware of? Our broadband speed is very good, but has anyone found speed issues or bottlenecks? If teachers are constantly saving (and hence Google Drive updating), has this created any problems? Thanks in advance.

Hi, We are a large primary school (630 staff, 120 staff). We have windows network (server 2016). Also use Google Workspace, especially Drive. We've moved to solely using Google Drive for all of our SLT, teacher and office team files, and removed windows mapped drives which was used previously. As things stand, these files are all on Google shared drives. We have retained some windows mapped drives but for less important stuff.Question is ... what do you do if the Internet goes down? Was thinking of having a separate machine to have a offline download of the shared drives, and having a ready to go mapped drive that we can deploy through gpo to give access? Ie windows mapped drive of that Google drive? Thanks for your suggestions.

THanks for your help Sagima. Is there any way to speed up setting permissions? When I am setting the replication folder in the DFS console on DC01 for DC02 (creating a new shared folder), I then have to set the permissions again on that folder. ALso, does the staging quota need to be at least as big as the biggest file to be replicated for that share? Default is 4GB, but the drives are only 1TB (small primary). If I set staging too high, presumably it will eat up a lot of space, especially when there are multiple folders to be replicated.

As stated in a post a minute ago: We have a win 2008 R2 DC. It was our only server. I was concerned about if this server goes down! So.... I've added an extra 2008 R2 server. It has AD roles and File Services role, including replication and namespace roles. The issue I have is that when editing GPOs, I can do it on the secondary (new) DC, but whenever I try to make changes on the PDC, it seems to not let me, and says things like 'being used by another process'. But when I make the change on the extra DC, it works straight away! I would rather be able to make GPO changes on both DCS, preferably on the PDC. ANy thoughts?

We have a win 2008 R2 DC. It was our only server. I was concerned about if this server goes down! So.... I've added an extra 2008 R2 server. It has AD roles and File Services role, including replication and namespace roles. I've managed to setup a namespace and setup a folder working under replication. It was a mapped drive, so I changed the GPO where this is set so that it uses the namespace address instead. All seems to be working, and the files replicated ok. However, this was quite a length process, and took a while to setup just for 1 folder. I have lots of folders I need to do replication for and alter the GPOs so that they use the namespace address as opposed to the individual server address. Are there any ways to speed this process up? If it helps, on the PDC Server, there is an E drive with lots of folders which contain the different shares (e.g. studenthome, staffhome, public, tech). I would like each of these to be replicated, and to come under the namespace address. Apologies in advance for incorrect terminolgy- I am learning as I go. Thanks.

Yes, will need to do this now. Problem is, the laptop wasn't around children at all!

We have some Fujitsu AH512 laptops, which seem to have come pre-setup with a bios password. I have a feeling it may have been set by 'someone', as I've not heard of it being set by default before. Any idea how to get it, or what the default password might be? Have tried password and Password and Fujitsu..... Thank you.

Beauty in simplicity.

Great, although from the screen shots, it doesn't look like it lets you set permissions on the folders it will create. AUM does let you do this. Any ideas?

I am trying to use Active User Manager to create bulk AD accounts and folders. I'd like to set the my documents folder to be something like \\server\share\%username%\docs This way I could prevent the desktop.ini issue causing multiple "My Documents" folders. However, in AUM, %username% doesn't seem to get parsed. It makes a folder called "%username". Anyone found a work around? Enough people use this program, so I hope so! Thank you.

Thanks, but I was looking to do this for a group as opposed to a single user. Have you got a script handy?

I'd like to delete existing profile folders on loads of laptops, but only for users in the student group (ie not teachers). Lots of these student folders are legacy, and those users will be deleted from AD soon, so I would like to tidy up, and also prevent issues in the future if a new user is added with the same name as an old one. I couldn't see an option for this using delprof2. Any help appreciated Thank you.

Thanks Michael, will have a look later. I've also come across active user manager (AUM) which streamlines the user creation process some what. Thanks.

Thank you. Where would I go to check these permissions on the redirect?
