What are your users default group (as per their AD settings?) if it's not 'domain users' your above share level permissions settings wont work (yes even with the winbind nested groups set to yes).
-
Simple test. Ask them to filter a big dynamic website like Edugeek. The forums in particular is quite a good test as we often discuss things out of context of what a dumb url filter would be looking for, Also check what, if at all, they can do about HTTPS filtering.

Well as I said, a profit sharing number is sufficient to make this work.

Like I said, it depends if you need your land line phone connected. I certainly don't. So the cost of calling a mobile is a sufficient barrier to stop a lot of nusience phone calls.

Tons of activity on WhoCallsMe for this number. Looks like a call centre working on behalf of charities ringing their existing donators and asking for an increase in the donation. http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/02076197597 As more general advice, I'd suggest not using your landline at all Or if you 'need' it then use a TrueCall box (requires unknown/international/non-whitelist callers to press a key to prove they are human before they get put through to you).. http://www.amazon.co.uk/TrueCall-The-Nuisance-Call-Blocker/dp/B002GP7HQM If you want to be slightly more evil, sign up for a profit sharing number with a redirect service. Most call centres will screen out these number ranges automatically (because they cost so much to call) and you'll make a nice tidy sum from those that don't)

I second the wiki idea. That way you can have input from a user point of view (I know from practice it can be difficult to get users to read an internal wiki though, let alone contribute).

The Fire risk assessment that they did that led them to the conclusion they needed a sprinkler system should of covered this. Ask for a copy. If they are citing building regs it's basically because the building is too close to another building. This basically requires the building has a fire suppression system fitted. For basic health & safety I'd check with your Union. But I'd suggest you'd be within your rights to refuse to work in the room. Also they have to test the pressure of the sprinker system weekly to stay in compliance. This is the perfect time to screw things up. So I'd suggest you shut down the at risk electrical equipment during these times. Liaise with your site team on this to make sure you do this at a suitable time of week/day. However you will be at a bit of an impass if your union decides you can't work in the room due to H&S concerns.

Said they wouldn't on the radio. Move seems more aimed at Pay TV and giving Sky some decent competition than any interest in the data services.

[android] Recommend a mail client for Android
Geoff replied to Dos_Box's topic in Mobile Devices & Tablets
Touchdown is realistically your only other option for Exchange if you dont like the standard mail app. -
If you freon gas cylinder fails in your air conditioning unit then the back pressure will set off the sprinklers. There is nothing else in typical server room that would cause enough of a pressure increase to set off sprinkers accidently. Outside influces such as earth tremors need to be considered though too. Plus my favourite, human error. The purpose of a CO2 fire suppresion system is to stop the fire before your servers are destroyed. If they only fitted a fire suppression system with an aim to save the building, rather than the contents then it's not fit for purpose from your point of view surely?
-
You need to use a gas based fire suppression system in a server room. New installs tend to be CO2 based but I always have fond memories of the older Halon based systems. There's nothing quite like watching your PFY setting off the halon release then sprinting for the breathing apparatus before the oxygen gets forceably removed from the room and he suffocates.

Try it with K9 then?
-
I have Cyanogen 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it's rock solid stable. Anyway, the OPs issue is not a Cyanogen one, it's a Mail app one. I presume you're using the Mail app with an exchange account. If so, there's no way round this within Mail. It's a bug^H^H^H feature of MS ActiveSync. The only other option in this case would be to use K9 with IMAP that'll let you download the mails and load the images inline. It'll also suck your battery less than Activesync too.

Some people are forgetting their history. We already had this line, the Victorians had the foresight to build it. However in 1963 Mr Beeching decided it wasn't needed any more. So here we are, repeating ourselves.

I would of thought using client certificates would accomplish this. As for the original issue, this problem extends beyond just VPN and applies to any end client you let on your network that you don't have full control over (think student wifi access and BYOD schemes for example). The tool you are looking for is Network Access Protection and Control. The basic premise is that you have a server on your network that's job it is to interrogate any device coming on your network and ensure it sticks to a policy you set. If it does then the server gives it access, otherwise it gets isolated until such time as the end user conforms to policy. To implement this you have a several choices, you have easy access to Network Access Policy Server as it comes with Server W2k8. Other than that I've used Packetfence in the past which is a free opensource solution. With either of these solutions you can carry on using OpenVPN for VPN access

Which ISP for home not talktalk/sky or BT.
Geoff replied to nicholab's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Cable is cheap and cheerful. The tech support from Virgin is incompetent and if you are in an area that is over subscribed you will never ever get the speeds advertised (check on the support forums for your Post Code District). As for DSL, I've used Be (Great), Demon, Plusnet, Eclipse, Zen (all good), Sky (varies) and BT (varies massively). -
0.0.0.0 high port 67 on Lightspeed
Geoff replied to teklogic's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Port 67 is DHCP. IP 0.0.0.0 is the IP DHCP Clients use when broadcasting to find a DHCP server to give them an address. So chances are you have a misbehaving client. Run another network trace and this time capture the arp traffic and MAC addresses involved in the problematic DHCP traffic. Once you have the MAC consult your hardware inventory and/or your managed switches mac address tables. -
If you know where I can get a Polycom Soundstation IP7000 for £100 I'd be very interested!

Even if you don't want to use quotas, you should use quotas. Even if it's a case of dividing up the total disk space by the number of users.

FreePBX box here. It does conference calling from the get go. If you know what sort of phone system you have we can probably say if it's capable.

Either the DHCP client on the client updates the DNS records on the DNS server or the DHCP server updates the DNS records on the DNS server on the clients behalf. The DHCP client running on the server has nothing to do with this at all.
