Here's a little riddle... ESS have certain solutions available on G-Cloud (Hosted service for SIMs being one of them). G-Cloud agreements do not have a minimum term, but do have a maximum term of 2yrs (plus extension periods). So ESS must be able to provide contracts shorter than 3yrs, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sign any G-Cloud contracts - and if that's the case, do CCS need to remove them fully from G-Cloud?

Strange, I'm on Solus 3.11.61.2 and been able to do the Discover 2017 Autumn upgrade (secondary, but I would have thought that shouldn't affect)

I'm using them here - 5700 series, and been very pleased with them so far. Core has been in for a couple of years, got a couple of other cabs with them in (rolling replacement of Cisco). Port number are the other way up from Cisco which made config take a little longer (mainly when I misreplaced values), but they seem very capable. Got various autodefend features turned on. UK team seem very good as well in terms of spec'ing what you need for the job you're looking to do.

Glad it's working I do wish there would be a standard for space/no space with variables on software...

What version of Samba is on the server, it may be something in a samba config file will get you sorted (or possibly a switch in smbclient command that backuppc runs) edit: In fact, looks like someone has written a patch to commit to latest branch - you may be able to apply the patch to your install (looks like it's the config.pl file), possibly using SMB2 if you don't have Samba 4 installed. https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/99/commits/4138050272de3dd94bebd2fd65e2250c3153dddc

You most likely want the DSR option - that's deploystudio and you should be able to reimage with your 2013 image, looks like no password was set on the EFI section when it was imaged to Sierra. Assuming this one is the client and not server El Capitan and above seem to only really play with profile manager setup client side, less and less of the workgroup manager bits work, just done most of our suite to El Capitan, and some of the things we could more readily do through workgroup manager have become a little more difficult... Multiple edits... I'll stop now

Hi all, Art of the Title (used by our media department) hosts videos on Vimeo like various other sites (and I didn't receive a response to a request for a list of video IDs). I've been able to scrape the Vimeo Video IDs from there (using some cobbled together powershell), and have added them to a separate vimeo allow group on our Smoothwall. For anyone interested, the player links are below, you'll also need the additional items in URL patterns (dig out the Smoothwall thread for further info). I am happy that these are videos only on pages within the artofthetitle site and tested that other vimeo videos are blocked, but I take no responsibility for the use of these links on your system. The powershell could probably be adapted for other sites as well, so I'll tidy it up, make it a little more configurable (ie what regex to use to find the video ID as a variable) and post it if it's of interest to others. artofthetitle.txt Cheers Will

If internal calls are fine, how are their external lines delivered? What's their WAN/internet connectivity like?

I'm assuming this is occuring on internal as well as external calls (basic question, but not mentioned in OP)?

@foofighterjim's method is the one I used @Jam_lane - you'll find that it's still possible for the little darlings to create groups - that's the method I originally had in place

Correct indeed - could have sworn I'd done something in the past with differing link speeds, but obviously not.

From my understanding, STP will disable 1 of the ports if both are plugged in (I think you should be able to set a priority on the 10Gb if it doesn't automatically prioritise that one), if one fails, STP should then rewrite it's tables and bring the other port up. The other option is if switches both ends are the same make, there may be something that will "team" (I think Cisco call it ethertrunk) the ports, so they'll both run as active and if one drops there would just be a reduction in bandwidth.

If you mean that mac addresses aren't listed in the left hand side under reservations, switch to address leases view and you should see the mac there and be able to see the device name to find it in reservations.

Experience of doing it both ways. Feasible doing it either way dependent on domain trusts etc being in place.
