Guest/BYOD Network Filtering
robintech replied to Latics83's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
we're moving to individual guest codes on Ruckus SmartZone that reception will give out, makes it a lot easier in testing as they can print them out or email them and then they expire and don't worry about the lack of filtering in case students manage to get on it. -
Not sure if there is way but I'd check their support documentation or raise a ticket, its all hidden behind a wall but you can self register on their site https://identity.isams.com/ your client ID code is in the (i) about section of iSAMs under Licence holder details.

New ISP recommendations
robintech replied to MisterTechMan's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Do wonder why it costs £500+ per month for fibre still , couldn't find anything about contention on normal FTTP connections or even if its still a problem compared to the overall contention once you reach the cloud services. -
Looks like it was hidden sheet in an excel file probably sent as an attachment, judging by their previous FOI requests where they say it will be sent that way https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/suffolk-police-foi-norfolk-police-service-of-northern-ireland-ico-b2393281.html just out of interest I created a test file in desktop Excel with hidden sheets and saved it to OneDrive as well as SharePoint and shared it externally as a test so see if they prompt for hidden sheets, would be a nice feature if they did

Could be they are checking internal attacks , PingCastle is often used for that Edit: saw your post above, wonder what VLAN they want to be on, would make sense to be a Wifi/BYOD user

https://www.bt.com/help/landline/digital-voice-migration From glancing at it it looks like they will send the Smart hub 2 or whatever out and the telephone plugs into that, they don't change the cost per month or the contract at all or provide any battery backup

Is anyone else turning off Microsoft Feed
robintech replied to robintech's topic in Enterprise Software
Its fairly random , while they would get this info from sending an email it is instead put into a feed Also there is the Follow and Following other students and members of staff along with a counter for each, think this is disabled now by changing the Org settings "Typically, you start following people while doing your everyday work. You might also see automated suggestions of people to follow. Finally, if you have particular people in mind who you want to start following, you can search for them." -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/ms-feed/m365-feed?view=o365-worldwide I've asked them to do so but they don't seem to understand the difference between the Microsoft Edge New Tab page which admins can turn off and the web Office 365 which admins can't turn off. Is a bit startling as it will do thing such as put Staff out of office replies into students feeds by default and other odd stuff

Getting rid of as much as possible which is about two bags for life so far just in cable terms, anything new like a monitor comes with HDMI and a kettle lead (including VGA and a EU kettle lead) so only keeping a Gratnells worth of each type. Need to pay for touch only Smart boards and a load of used non original toners to be recycled so would really like a WEEE skip that everything can be dumped into

Apple configurator can add it, think you have to turn off "Find My" and sign out of iCloud on the iPad before starting the process. Anyone can remove it in the next 30 days but then it is permanently joined same as reseller code ones.

Tested my online Word and it looks like the PDF comes from their servers https://ukc-word-edit.officeapps.live.com/we/WordViewer/request.pdf.....etc[ Maybe a edge://policy/ or chrome is making PDFs download to a blocked folder instead of opening in browser

had iRIS Connect at one school and also only used 5 or 6 times, teachers didn't like being recorded nor did the pupils and it seemed a distraction. Expect a lot of "Technical issues" unless you are there for every class that needs it

Sounds like some kind of difference between Personal and Business OneDrive

Congrats, saw the newsletter earlier but was waiting for you to post. The PDF function will be a great help

For me at least the Azure audit logs show changes to ProxyAddresses in a users audit log and the Initiated by (actor) name

outlook OWA HTTP2_Frame_Error - outlook wont load
robintech replied to johnpd's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Not sure related but I had an issue with Google Quic where it wouldn't show up in the firewall logs , but would have thought Microsoft have upgraded all their servers http://www.edugeek.net/forums/cloud-services/226361-owa-outlook-web-access-very-very-slow-load-intermittent-but-happens-often.html -
Sixth form requests for info?
robintech replied to jpryan's topic in Data Protection & Information Handling
Lot of schools use the same boilerplate one if you search online for "This data may relate to exam entries" saying they can provide it to local authorities, Department for Education (DfE), Schools or colleges that you attend after leaving , without a policy I'd guess the students (or in exceptional cases guardian, carer regardless of age) would need to provide permission. -
Got this from JCQ website and it makes sense for coursework, practicals that it should be blocked https://www.jcq.org.uk/exams-office/malpractice/artificial-intelligence/ a) Consider restricting access to online AI tools on centre devices and networks; b) Ensure that access to online AI tools is restricted on centre devices used for exams;

Freshdesk as well, moved from Spiceworks and find it much better.

Backup broadband connection - suggestions?
robintech replied to TheHyperTechie's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Dependent on the size of course but 4G covers our backup needs @ 100Mbit down for a 1Gbit leased line , even had it running accidently on 4G after the initial install as they hadn't switched it back and things still worked if slower. Our traffic is tunnelled to the same provider with the same IP so hard to notice initially. If you have nothing then getting 4G could be a cheaper instant coverage before the top level options. -
I'd like one of those DJ type turntables that use a dummy platter to apply position and speed etc to a digital copy , still gives physical interaction without the media problems. Could do movies as well I suppose

Is your filter better than this?
robintech replied to sigma's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
Not sure if it would flag it, Smoothwall does show the moments before and after in our reports so fairly easy to dismiss false positives as search terms would be in there. Do know we had to force old google images otherwise Google can show them inappropriate thumbnails "The Google image search interface use a presentation method to create it's interface that obscures some of the source links from the Guardian web filter. This can result in some inappropriate thumbnails being shown. Access to the source of those thumbnails will still be blocked." -
Had the same thing for maintenance, some people would email direct to [email protected] from their personal address books so they just thought it was very quiet

Try running Displayswitch.exe manually as the Windows +P is a call to it I think. Would narrow down the troubleshooting presuming the Keys all register in the on screen keyboard and the on screen keyboard Windows + P doesn't work either
