Can you open the PST in Outlook ok?

Isn't it for this reason why a look up put in before it enters the wall if running the cable down so water wouldn't do this? It's what I was always taught.

DrayTek will work with them but only certain models so check your DrayTek works with the one they supply. What is wrong with everyone using their own data or just enjoying a weekend away from it all? The little MiFi devices are easiest option now I find, I've had a good few things connected to one with no issues.

I have Sky and record most of what I watch and then I can just fast forward and watch at my leisure. I must admit I don't watch much but have a few series on the go.

Are you workstations in the right OU? Have you run gpresult to see if policies are applying? -
I uploaded some 600 images off my DSLR the other day, around 30 images were corrupt but have been restored using recovery software. I now have 2 folders one with 3 more files in but not with original names, is there a way to compare and pull out the 3 files with ease?

If you have added the permissions all the other person needs to do in their Outlook is add calendar and enter name of person they are trying ot open. Don't mess around with the invitations as you have already added the permissions.

I've been lugging kit around all week its been torture, change of plan today at last minute so working from home in the coolness of the fan. Got a full day of it again tomorrow so going to be cooked!

I used CAT5e at my brothers this weekend for a few points, it will do exactly what he needs it for and I have the same at my house.

Just going back to the main post, you state users are remote into their computers from home, how is this achieved by the end user?

I would enable UDP 500/4500 (will need to check as not sure off the top of my head) for VPN traffic so they can VPN back to the office if needed.

BT Versatility Handsets (British Telecom)

Did you ever cancel your contract with BT when you put the new system in? -
You can check your license here, not sure if it makes it clearer. Must admin the DVLA isn't particularly clear at things as I have just applied for my HGV provisional and that was a pain knowing exactly what I needed to do.

Implementing an email best practice policy
MatthewL replied to themightymrp's topic in How do you do....it?
I don't think there is a way to deal with this other than educating staff in the best use and best practice. I think its up to the individual how they want to organise their inbox i.e. folders/rules, can you tell them how to organise their desk and paperwork? Those with logic would use a folder structure, I for one I very reliant on my email work and home so my Outlook is my key tool to my life! Obviously educating about what to keep and what to not keep can be difficult, I must admit I do keep a lot of emails but do bin a lot and also unsubscribe from those I don't need. The way forward I think is something like Office 365 these days which allows all sorts but when it comes to the work life balance, if its important someone needs to pick the phone up, if someone chooses to work in an evening they shouldn't expect a reply till the following day. I have a separate work phone and only have work emails on that, the only time I look at them out of hours is if I have a bit of a catch up on OWA to make my life simpler. I'd never expect someone to reply back to me, its not that important. If the individual choose to work late that's their choice but shouldn't expect a response.- 21 replies

I had similar thing many years ago and had to run the command to reset the winsocks or something similar. When it happens can you ping say 8.8.8.8 or google.com?

Both sites have internet I would just setup a site to site VPN as a start, cost should be next to nothing unless you need to replace routers etc but that is a start. We used to run all our site to site VPN's over the internet.

Have a look at something like the Samsung J3 to keep costs down, bit older but a good phone.

Get them a flip chart and easel on wheels, problem solved.

That's odd, never seen so many copies of it. If you don't use it in your print mapping GPO just create a task to Delete "OneNote" and it will remove it on all that it applies to.

Simple answer for me would be no, staff would end up wanting their ink paid for. If they have a corporate device VPN and print to print solution in school, data also kept secure and they can't print of stuff randomly at home that maybe they shouldn't.
