Interested in views on this one. We had an Schools Broadband incident relating to an overutilised NNI. The RFO supplied by Schools broadband records the incident as a P2 lasting 8 months, 11 days, with intermittent degraded performance and reduced throughput during peak periods, but states “Was the SLA Breached? No.” The timeline includes repeated instances of the NNI reaching maximum capacity, including in March, May and June, before migrations eventually resolved the issue in July. When challenged, their position is essentially that the overall core remained within SLA. However, they have also confirmed there was a monitoring gap on this particular NNI and they don't have the detailed performance data we've requested. Am I being unreasonable in questioning how you can confidently conclude “no SLA breach” when the RFO itself records an eight-month incident and some of the monitoring evidence isn't available? Interested in how others would read it. rfo_event_1174 (1).pdf

I had to upload my work badge ID. Hasn’t been approved yet though.

If you’re looking for something to replace paper cut.. it supports cloud.. Toshiba EFollow is pretty much the only product that is close at the moment (in my opinion) Uniflow looks better GUI wise.. but functionality.. EFollow is miles ahead!

**bump** These roles remain available. This is such an amazing opportunity for the right people! Just some of the current projects: 10gb leased line rollouts Full Fortinet filtering and firewall rollouts Full Intune rollouts Full sharepoint (cloud design box rollout) Full OneDrive migration rollouts JAMF School rollout Paxton 10 rollout New build primary schools New build secondary schools Much much more! If you’re after a challenge to set you up for the future.. this will set you up for a long time!

Not to be “that guy” but that is expected behaviour. To your file server that is no different to a stranger trying to connect in. Intune isn’t designed to connect to your on prem network. It’s designed to connect to cloud services. You will need to look at a cloud printing solution really. Plus online file storage, like OneDrive or SharePoint.

Cloud design box +

Are you cloud managed only? From Microsoft: If the computers on your network aren't connected to Active Directory on-premises, but only to Microsoft Entra ID, we recommend using Intune and a Microsoft PowerShell script to set the registry keys required to enable silent account configuration. Be sure you have automatic enrollment set up for Windows 10 or newer devices. $HKLMregistryPath = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive'##Path to HKLM keys $DiskSizeregistryPath = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\DiskSpaceCheckThresholdMB'##Path to max disk size key $TenantGUID = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' if(!(Test-Path $HKLMregistryPath)){New-Item -Path $HKLMregistryPath -Force} if(!(Test-Path $DiskSizeregistryPath)){New-Item -Path $DiskSizeregistryPath -Force} New-ItemProperty -Path $HKLMregistryPath -Name 'SilentAccountConfig' -Value '1' -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null ##Enable silent account configuration New-ItemProperty -Path $DiskSizeregistryPath -Name $TenantGUID -Value '102400' -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null ##Set max OneDrive threshold before prompting This is what solved my issues when I was starting out with my cloud project some years ago.
