Hi Have you tried putting an exception rule in on your smoothwall. If it's generating that much traffic i suspect the smoothwall is "having a time" with it. Additionally, are you using caching with your smoothwall. At 1Gb connection speeds this should really be turned off. Finally, what is your AV solution doing, again exempting deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com may help. goodluck

Hi Surely the student would have to be logged into the corresponding AD account to submit a job from it - you could also turn off guest printing. Making this more of a problem if they share passwords?

Defo sounds like a driver issue - perhaps they can just role back (they probably installed after the shutdown from the last place they were at). I recall Windows Update once put on a new driver for my computer that wasn't compatible. So I had to safe boot too roll it back.

Hi, Have you tried the problematic laptop with another display. Can it actually dual output to anything now?

You can get a lot of additional help here MyNCSC - https://my.ncsc.gov.uk/ free Service from the government - its excellent. The blurb: "MyNCSC is a UK government service from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), bringing together a number of Active Cyber Defence (ACD) services into a single, coherent experience. These are currently the Mail Check, Web Check and Early Warning services, which report on an organisation's IT systems.

Hi Koldov. Just create a new GPO that undoes the configs that are restricting you, ensure it applies only to the server in question (Security Filtering), it is enforced. and list it earlier in the inheritance list in GP Manager. Goodluck

Hi We're experiencing the odd issue with it "not saving" and giving that as the error message when, in reality, it is saving. Its only a few staff, but the error message itself seems to be in (er...) error! Thanks

Hi, There are two optimisation patches you may need to request - 20647 & 22573. We're not on SIMS anymore so I have no idea whether these are included in each release yet. They used to be available upon request. They should be run after every update and before validate memberships and database diagnostics. Worth monitoring the size of the log files created when running the reports incase your running low on disk space during the process.

Hi, we have installed 5 APs outside and put them inside IP55 (I think) boxes. Works a charm and costs considerably less. If any APs are attached to the outside wall of a building and connect directly into you network be sure to install lightening arrestors onto a earth source. APs need to sit between 3-4 meters up for optimimum signal coverage.
