  1. Also watch out for 'Verify old and new Folder Redirection targets point to the same share before redirecting' as it is not enabled by default and will purge the destination if not enabled.
  2. We had crashing Explorer when search 2 specific folders, both had files in them over the max path length. Have tracked it down to the thumbnail generator which seems to touch each file during the search, when it trashes a file with a path over 260 characters it crashes Explorer. As a temp workaround (until MS fix it ) I have deployed a gpo to set folder options 'always show icons, never thumbnails' Users can untick it if they want to have thumbnails but risk crashes. Window 10 also has a new gpo which allows long path names over 260 but I have head it can cause compatability issues with some apps that use non standard system libraries to access files
  3. WHM/cPanel offer an educational licence for a one of fee of around £25. Run ours on CentOS 7, setup a vanilla server, ran the whm/cpanel installed script and it takes over the running and updating. You can also install Config Firewall for extra security: http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html Created reseller account for our tutors that use it so that they can create accounts for their students that need it. You can also install Installatron on it (runs on one domain without license), this allow students to self install web apps and also keeps them up to date. I emailed [email protected] to request the educational license, they then added it as an option to my account to allow purchase.
  4. We had a load of intermittent connection issues with outlook and office 365 Couple of things that helped us In IE, internet options, connections, lan settings we unticked 'automatically detect settings' dealt with the autodiscover issues we had with outlook 2016 Made sure http over mapi was enabled, it was preciously disabled in gpo so was causing outlook to use rpc resulting in the connection being slower and having more drop outs.
