Just been handed this piece of "software" - which is pretty shocking. Has anyone got it working with anything other than IE11. Our firewall has dropped support for IE11 from its browser matrix, which is not unexpected but not helpful when Barclays insist on it.

Thats sounds like a lot We pay £3189 for 54 concurrent licenses per year (gateway and xen app) - we have 200 teachers but there are never more than 30 logged on at once.

we've use Probrand Marketplace to get comparison quotes quite a lot The website isn't the friendliest but the prices are often good

2 UPS's per server would be nice. We have 1 PSU plugged into a UPS the other PSU plugged into the mains. APC UPS's have always served me well (if you can't have a site wide UPS) Goto their website and put in your servers, it will tell you what UPS and battery you need.

Its on your papercut server C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\application.license Or where ever the install directory is.

We've just replaced a lot of our edge switches and some servers and I was wondering if anyone knew a company that buys old kit. I'd rather not go through the hassle of ebaying it all, so it would be good if anyone has any experience of a company that will take the kit of our hands for a reasonable price.

Google tells me EFSA is the European Food Safety Authority. We don't allow generic accounts, named accounts only, tied to a user.

Pretty similar. We disable the account as soon as they pupil leaves school and delete them at the start of the Christmas holiday If they ask before that date to access their disabled account we enable it for 24hours. If they aren't a member of the school they shouldn't be using a school account. If they did something malicious using their email account after having left I'm not sure how happy the school would be.

Exact opposite here. Gmail terrible, O365 great for spam filtering.

I think it depends on the datastore you use as to the pricing We have 80 units and pay £3450

It uses MABS Microsoft Azure Backup Server https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-microsoft-azure-backup We are super happy with it. You can get educational pricing per unit and it is worth shopping around to see who can give you the best deal.

Backup to the cloud - we use Azure which is priced dependent on the data you want to backup and the retention. Cheaper than tapes and then shipping offsite - gives us the added bonus that we can restore to the cloud in a DR scenario. We are an all windows shop.

To be honest I haven't found that big a difference going from Server 2016 to 2019 - 2019 feels like a feature update for server 2016. In fact I think you can only update your Domain functional level to 2016. WSUS/MDT etc. are all basically the same as on 2016 I would leave the 2016 machines alone unless you feel a pressing urge to upgrade them, or have the time. The 2012 servers I would upgrade to 2019 to keep them in support.

Agreed. Net2 is not very good at software

You can sync the users from AD into adobe with a script? I didn't know this, I have manually added them through a CSV file - can you share the script? thanks

Does anyone have a suggestion for a bit of kit to monitor our server room - temperature, humidity etc. It doesn't need to be complicated but it must be a network device that can send alerts via email. EDIT: cheap would also be good. thanks

In 0365 admin goto Setup > Domains It will be the default domain and should be the end of your email address e.g. if your domain is company.com then the SMTP address will be company-com.mail.eo.outlook.com

yourdomain-co-uk.mail.eo.outlook.com will be the relay address - make sure you are using TLS and port 25

Look at your anti virus software and it should do this Trend/Sophos do for sure. You can block all removable storage devices and then in the AV software just white list the devices you want to allow.

We moved over to fortigate from smoothwall. Bit more expensive but a lot better as far as we are concerned.

Also for SQL - just use the maintenance scripts here and forget about your SQL server https://ola.hallengren.com/

Use TRUNCATEONLY and you should avoid the pitfall of index fragmentation Shrink the DB file down in stages if it is massive, or you might impact production - the operation is pretty hefty on I/O Truncateonly basically means that no pages are moved within the DB during the shrink which will avoid fragmentation. The catch is that it only works by shrinking the DB back to the last time it was allocated space - so only free space at the end of the file will be reclaimed. If you use Notruncate SQL will move all the pages inside the file to the beginning freeing up space at the end but causing massive fragmentation Basically what happens if you run Shrinkfile without any parameters is that first a Notruncate is run, freeing up space at the end of the file and causing fragmentation (the file stays the same size) - then it runs it again with Truncateonly and clears all that free space thus shrinking the actual file size but killing performance with fragmentation. Shrinking a DB is bad generally unless you know that the DB is never going to grow to that size again. Shrink it gradually and rebuild the indexes as you go. The correct solution is to create a new database with proper sizing in place and script the old database out but that can get quite scary
