  1. @Arthur Looks like that website is hosted on a server provided by Ticoserver.com so could send a complaint to their abuse team. @DaveP Your example looks like it's with Godaddy so if you email their abuse team usually the site will be taken down pretty quickly. Thankfully the larger hosts usually do more about these compromised sites but some of the smaller hosts don't really care about it especially if it's an unmanaged service like a dedicated server.
  2. We also experience this issue however we found the start menu doesn't function at all for that user regardless of how many times they relog onto the machine. I believe it's down to the default domain policy however I have not yet managed to track down the exact cause as of yet. I would also like to see if anyone has experienced the problem as we would prefer to start using windows 10 as soon as some of the bugs we have are ironed out.
  3. I'm deploying to Windows 7 machines only, both 64 and 32 bit machines however I tested the policy in 3 of our ICT rooms on new and older PC's and everything was fine but it seems some of the older laptops and PC's in our library are just not accepting the certificate. To be honest those are all machines which have not been re-imaged in years so it could be a bad image they are using or just have some other issue. The annoying part is that the event log literally has no errors in at all even after clearing it and forcing a policy update it just shows all policies applied without issue. Looks like I'm taking a break from setting up Mac's to get this problem sorted today!
  4. Hi All, We are working on deploying a self signed root certificate for our firewall to all the pupil machines in the school and after testing it on quite a few machines (10+ in different rooms) which it worked fine on we decided to push the policy live. Unfortunately we have had reports that some users are getting certificate errors and upon checking this it looks like the policy is applying to their machines but the certificate is not being installed at all. I am unsure exactly why this is happening since the policy worked fine in all of our tests but I have tried looking through event logs and found there are no errors at all and the policy shows as being applied so as far as I can see there should be no issue! I can however manually install the cert on the machines affected but this is looking to be quite a large job if that's what is required since I have to log in as an admin to each one and open up the certificate MMC for the computer rather than the user to install the cert correctly. Has anyone experienced this issue before as I am unsure how I can fix this via group policy without having to manually fix each machine.
  5. Very sad especially someone who did so much for charity as well.
  6. Unfortunately I'm not the best when it comes to coding php and without access to the website in question I'm can't test it myself to debug it. That said from what I can see the code may simply need some changes so that it checks to see if the variable is set or null. This is done by adding php isset into the code which is shown here: PHP: isset - Manual I expect if you add that in correctly it should stop the errors as it will check to see if the variable is null and then ignore it the result is in fact null. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense (i'm bad at explaining code lol) but has php always been 5.4 on the website or was it recently updated since I have seen websites that still work after a php upgrade but start spitting out errors since the syntax in the new php version requires certain checks that the older versions didn't.
  7. From what I can see it looks like the file is coded to work with an older version of php. What version of php are you running currently since I expect this may work better on php 5.2 if your not running that already so it's worth giving that a try however you could add the following to the affected file which would suppress the errors until you can resolve the issue fully: error_reporting(0); Is this website your live school website and if so is it a custom build or is it based in something like Joomla. Edit: Just to add to the above, setting error reporting to 0 isn't good practice so do not do that for a permanent solution.
  8. We wondered why two staff iPads came in with the same issue today! Thanks for this.

    We have about 4 or 5 sets of them but all of them need new batteries since they have pretty much never been used. We would like to scrap them but the departments don't feel like letting go of them just yet for some reason.
  10. I experienced the issue with office 2013 as well so it could be related to the version being used. Sorry I can't be of any more help however hopefully the details of my own situation may provide some insight although I would suggest trying both 64 bit and 32 bit versions and if possible see if office 2010 will work as a temporary fix.
  11. I use Heart Internet for my domains, mainly because I used to work for them and I know how to do everything I need with their systems but their prices are pretty good as well.
  12. I experienced the same issue however I found it was caused due to the appdata not being available to the user when they were away from the network. This also seems to only affect 64 bit machines for me however I managed to resolve the issue on affected devices (mainly new laptops) by setting the users appdata to be part of the offline files policy which fixed the problem when they were not able to access their appdata on the network. I expect it will be related to the pupils permissions & appdata so it may be worth checking your wsus server to see if any office updates were applied and roll them back but if nothing was applied then I'm not sure what else to suggest since I found little to no information about the problem other than it can be caused by corrupted installations which It can't be in your case. One question however, which version of office are you using?
  13. Have you tried changing the sata input to IDE as I believe that can cause issues sometimes on HP machines but other than that possibly a bios update is required.
  14. We have a heater on the roof which we can turn on and off however the other technician likes the office at around 30 degrees Celsius so I made the storage room my new office by removing the adjoining door just so I can sit next to the window and get some fresh air! We also have air-con but our site team likes to turn it off during winter without telling us which last time ended in the whole unit leaking everywhere because it was mid-cycle.
  15. We use IE11 as the default as it works best with our VLE which is currently sharepoint based. Personally I think as long as your default browser supports everything used in your environment then that is all that matters as the user can use any of the provided browsers anyway.
  16. Will try that on Monday although it shouldn't be the firewall since it's disabled but saying that RDP is supposed to be enabled so I wouldn't be surprised if the firewall was in fact still on even when it's supposed to be disabled.
  17. I've lost count how many times i've tried that
  18. No the licensing isn't an issue here but we only noticed it recently as we are working on a new cluster setup and found that we were unable to remote onto this machine when in the past it was never an issue. The remote connection attempt will simply time out like the RDP service isn't even running which is the odd thing about it since it's setup in the same was as every server.
  19. Yes it is possible to ping the server and you can access shares without any problem it's just the RDP service this seems to effect.
  20. Hi All, We are having an issue with one of our 2008 R2 virtual servers in which it's not allowing RDP connections. We are not sure why this is the case as no configuration changes have been made however we have attempted to enabled/disable the RDP service and have also disabled the firewall entirely but we are still unable to RDP. We can of course go through hyper-v to manage the server that way but it's not ideal so I wondered if anyone else has had RDP service issues similar to this. It's worth noting when we stop the remote desk services it seems to crash attempting to stop the service and hangs on the 'stopping' phase so I'm not sure if there is an issue with the service itself! Regards, Chris.
  21. V5.1.05 here, don't upgrade to this version however as it removes access to a lot of features due to the security issue and also creates a lot of bugs.
  22. I believe this may be related: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/network-classroom-management/158774-impero-5105-slow-network.html#post1407158 Try a roll back of your impero server as it's likely this will resolve the issue since it appears it's not just yourself with these issues.
  23. This may sound like a silly question however have you made sure to select trust device on the iPad itself after you plug it into your PC as without doing this you wont be able to access the data but it will appear as a device.
  24. Is this version fully released yet or is it still under beta testing?
