@scottalanmiller We required to record the video conference meeting and company required a self host or a non-public solution ,as skype and hangout solution is not accepted .

Hi All,

We are planing to have a Video conference solution to our branch offices. Currently one of my office have a Polycom HDX 7000 as video conference solution and I was evaluating the features of Polycom HDX 7000 .

The required features for VC are

1. Multi point calls
2. Content share (Desktop and mobile)
3. Desktop & Mobile client
4. schedule meeting
5. Record meeting

I was comparing the Video conference solution with Hardware and Cloud based for suggesting to management.

I need your suggestions on VC whether i need to go for Hardware solutions or cloud based solution . What is the advantage over that.

which is the best suitable cloud VC solution . Can any cloud solution integrate to Hardware . Can we integrate cisco webx /skype to Hardware VC.

Nginx is an open source web server written to address some of the performance and scalability issues associated with Apache

Thanks all.

It was a miss configuration in Remote Access VPN Group Policy.

I have added local DNS and external DNS (google DNS) in the group policy DNS Server , then Inherit the DNS names in Split Tunneling and disable send all DNS lookups through Tunnel .

Now the nslookup work like charm in any connect vpn

Hi all,

As per the valid suggestion from all of you ,I locked down the Desktop and My Documents folders by redirecting those folders (via GPO) to a read only share and restrict the access to C & D Drive(via GPO). Now user can't save anything on desktops,My documents and in any drive, they can save only there works in their own shared drive.

Note : This setting does not prevent users from using programs to access local and network drives. It does not prevent them from using the Disk Management snap-in to view and change drive characteristics.

The reason for restrict the desktop saving is that ,we are sharing a single user account for multiple users in a systems . We are having some client settings which is bonded to the user name and system . We are having shifts for that job and they are doing different jobs. The management wants others not to see the confidential data during one shift.Most of the time the users forgot to delete the data which is against the rule.

Their requirement was users can able to save data in desktop which should be temporary and it need to be deleted after shutdown. Also users are not allowed to save any data in any drive.

Based on the discussion, its is a know fact that we can't achieve this without a third-party software and communicated. They are not willing to have a third-party software as this requirement is only for a limited users. Finally I have tested the folder redirection with read-only access and restrict drive access which partially satisfy their requirement.

Thanks for all the comments and support.

Am testing this test a LOT!

We are using split tunnel , Cisco ASA 5510 is the VPN box

Hi All,

We are using cisco anyconnect VPN for connecting to corporate network . Currently we are facing an issue with nslookup while in any connect VPN. The issue is that we can get the ip address using internal DNS when we are connected to LAN and while in anyconnect VPN we are not able.

The output of nslookup while in any connect which use our internal DNS

C:\Users$reeKumar>nslookup google.com
Server: skovads1.mydomainname.net
Address: 10.10.4.1

*** skovads1.mydomainname.net can't find google.com: Non-existent domain

The output of nslookup while in corporate workstation which use our internal DNS

C:\Users$reeKumar>nslookup google.com 8.8.8
Server: skovads1.mydomainname.net
Address: 10.10.4.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 2404:6800:4007:801::1008
74.125.236.40
74.125.236.39
74.125.236.36

**Second Issue **

From any connect VPN

C:\Users$reeKumar>nslookup xxx.mydomainname.net
Server: skovads1.mydomainname.net
Address: 10.10.4.1

Name: sadcpv1.mydomainname.net
Address: 10.8.3.1
Aliases: xxx.mydomainname.net

C:\Users$reeKumar>nslookup xxx.mydomainname.net 4.2.2.2
Server: UnKnown
Address: 4.2.2.2

*** UnKnown can't find xxx.mydomainname.net: Non-existent domain

From Workstation in LAN

C:\Users$reeKumar>nslookup xxx.mydomainname.net
Server: skovads1.mydomainname.net
Address: 10.10.4.1

Name: sadcpv1.mydomainname.net
Address: 10.8.3.1
Aliases: xxx.mydomainname.net

C:\Users$reeKumar>nslookup xxx.mydomainname.net 4.2.2.2
Server: b.resolvers.Level3.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: xxx.mydomainname.net
Address: 186.58.80.43

Any thoughts

Thanks all for the valid answers..

I planned to redirect the Desktop and my documents to network folder and assign permission as readonly access, so that users cant save any files on desktops. Also Restrict access to c & D drives in my computer, so that they are not able to store files in drive.

Thanks !!

@thecreativeone91 , They are saving their works on shared folder.

@Ambarishrh said:

d may be enable folder redirection, if they want to save something, goes straight to your network drive?

Yes i checked that too, as redirect the folder to server and allow read only permission . but more storage space is required.

We already have a DFS in place for storing their files.

I think Mandatory profile will be a good option but how we can do through GPO, as we have more than 100 computers requirement

Thanks for the quick reply , any options with windows and GPO, other than third party solutions.

Hi All,

There is a requirement to disable the saving/storing of any files in client workstation(windows 7). We doesn't want the clients to save any type of files in their C & D Drive. It include desktop, my Documents.

If the client can save the files in desktop as temporary and after reboot if it get deleted , then its is very good.

I was planing of enabling a Mandatory profile and Restrict access to drives in my computer through Group Policy.

How can we enable Mandatory profile through Group Policy?

Please suggest me an better idea to implement the same.

Hello All, my name is Sreekumar from India. Great to meet you all

Thanks Scott !!!
