Access Control lists are the thing to use here

Seems to be an android copy of windows , it can run chrome so its being blocked here !

This , Preferably a vpn in these days

Has the computer retained its security group memberships ? That’s if there is any what would effect log on

I would move the cab to a more suitable location if possible.

Have you created a trust between the two domains?

Forgot to mentioned i've moved over to Virgin media now , so will just stick that in modem mode

Decided I’m going to get a supermicro box and run either opnsense or sophos xg

I know a few places what are , main reason is cause it’s still supported by MS

Im lucky at my schools as Staff mostly use the ticketing system. We still have the occasional one or two who shouts down the radio lol I think why staff use it so much is cause we really really push it and enforce it.

From Reddit : Looks KB5009557 (2019) and KB5009555 (2022) are causing something to fail on domain controllers, which then keep rebooting every few minutes.

Is port 53 open on your firewall on your dc and at your network edge Can you resolve any dns names at all ?

Any chance you could shrink the vhds instead of switching them over to dynamic

Im sure you can change from fixed to dynamically expanding , i would take a backup of your vhds first just in case

Via Hyper-V manager, Edit disk, select disk then change to dynamically expanding

Sounds like the VHDS might be a fixed size causing the space issue on the host

Sophos XG

Would go for storage spaces , I’ve always been HP for servers but dell have impressed me recently with there r640 great for hyper v / VMware

My home dcs have 1.5gb each and they run fast tbh , Work ones have 6gb

So this isnt work related, I’ve spun up a windows server vps in OVH recently and I’m looking to have a vpn to my home infrastructure. I can’t see any offerings from ovh for this unless I buy additional services. What I was thinking was installing the rras role on my vps and then on a vm at my home for a sort of site to site thing. Anyone attempted something like this before?

Mustard AV, Based in Coventry but i believe they do nationwide work

Had a fair few issues with my sky box when I was with them. Ended up using dhcp / dns on a windows box and used Google’s dns as forwarders

Like others have mentioned it’s hard to get downtime approved, these places run 24/7/365 and email is a core part of their infrastructure and communication

Just building security for us this holiday

yeah we are having some issues here
