Fair enough. But as we are setup right now it is only the WiFi access points that use the tagged VLANs and they do this dynamically according to rules on the controller. The untagged VLAN is what ALL our wired devices are running on so no extra config.

Each port is untagged on the default vlan, so for a device to connect to a particular VLAN/subnet they would have to enable the VLAN settings on the NIC on a particular device. This would mean physically connecting to a network socket and this is a security risk I feel ok with, rogue devices in our school would almost exclusively be wireless devices such as mobiles/tablets etc. The reasons for my different VLANs was to cut down the broadcast traffic (we were previously a flat network on a /21 subnet!!!!) it also allows a different route to the internet with particular ease based on AD groups. If there is no performance hit then tagging all ports on all switches gives me an easy life as I can make changes without having to worry about ports. Thanks for the responses so far.

Hi, Ignoring issues with security of the IP subnets assigned to my different VLANs does tagging all ports on every switch have a bad effect on performance? We have a L3 Procurve 2600 (J9264a) as our core switch which handles the inter VLAN routing, most of our other switches are L2 2510G We have 30 or so wifi access points which assign VLANs dynamically dependent on who is logged on. At the moment I have tagged ALL VLANS on just the ports that the access points are connected to on the various switches around the buildings. For an easier life after some patch panel re-wiring jobs I am about to perform, I was thinking about just tagging all VLANS to all ports on every switch. I know this will work but I wasn't sure if there is/how much of a hit we would take to the performance of the network? I'd be most grateful if anyone has a definitive answer? Cheers, Dan.

If it looks like its worked then it may well just be the connect.ini still pointing to the old instance if you get the invalid username and password issue.

Sort of. I think I can view it with this: Get-ExchangeServer | fl name, internetwebproxy which reveals the proxy : port but there are no exceptions, I thought it may be important to exclude the local address of the server in the exceptions. In IE the exceptions are there but they don't show up using the command I just mentioned. The command the error message suggests doesn't work; see below. If I use netsh winhttp show proxy that DOES have the correct proxy AND a bypass list with correct settings but I wasn't sure if this was somehow a different thing. I wonder if anyone who managed to do this had to add any other settings to their server/internet connection such as rules for port forwarding etc. [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-ExchangeServer -InternetWebProxy A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'InternetWebProxy'. + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: ( [Get-ExchangeServer], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Get-ExchangeServer + PSComputerName : xxx.domain.xxx (I changed this)

Hi, I am struggling to complete the Hybrid Config Wizard, it goes through; Connecting to tenant, Checking tenant pre-requisites, Configuring organization relations but then stops with this: Updating hybrid configuration failed with error ‎'Subtask NeedsConfiguration execution failed: Configure Organization Relationship Exchange was unable to communicate with the autodiscover endpoint for your Office 365 tenant. This is typically an outbound http access configuration issue. If you are using a proxy server for outbound communication, verify that Exchange is configured to use it via the “Get-ExchangeServer –InternetWebProxy” cmdlet. Use the “Set-ExchangeServer –InternetWebProxy ” cmdlet to configure if needed. at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Hybrid.OrganizationRelationshipTask.get_OnpremisesFederationInfo‎()‎ at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Hybrid.OrganizationRelationshipTask.NeedsConfiguration‎(ITaskContext taskContext)‎ at Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Hybrid.Engine.ExecuteSubStep‎(String subStepName, ITaskContext taskContext, ITask task, Func`3 substep, Func`4 createException, Boolean throwOnFalse)‎ ‎'. I have tried adding our LEA provided proxy settings in NETSH but it still stops at this point. Could it be a port issue like 997 being blocked? Currently our onsite Exchange 2013 server is running fine in all respects. How did you guys configure yours if you're behing the LEA firewall and using their proxy? Or is this a red-herring and I shouldn't read too much into the MS error? I know i'm a bit light on surrounding details but I think it MAY not be relevant if someone had the same isssue... Any advice would be most gratefully received.
