we made everyone aware they should let us know if anything stops working on the network that previously did work.
Also we have a card machine for credit/debit card transactions on the network and that also stopped working. I know it will seem daunting but make sure users are aware you are changing the rules and if it doesn't work they should ring you asap to unblock the port.Įxactly - it was a bit of a ball ache for us, as immediately we noticed a small team using a VPN out of our office - the VPN stopped working. +1 Kev Hodgson Block all outgoing unused ports which is a security best practice. Think NetSupport, meets Bit9, without the heafty price tag. Again. Try Impero!!!! It really does solve quite a few of the problems school IT tech's face, to anyone who hasn't used it and is thinking it's a NetSupport rip off, it really isn't. Read the full product description on their website, or request a trial, you won't be disappointed. The pricing isn't half bad either. Having it the other way round, by having everything allowed outbound, and just blocking what you don't want, never works in Schools and Colleges, when your constantly battling to stay ahead of the game with Students constantly trying to bypass security measures. Unless there is a specific reason for you having Java in your environment, just create a script to remove it from all machines.Įdit - Also, to anyone here that uses Impero, you can put Minecraft on the Application Blacklist, I've had to do this before with Powershell, because there isn't an option in Group Policy to block it at the moment, like there is with Command I usually block everything at the Edge, and allow outbound traffic on a port by port, and rule by rule basis. And all of the other games/services that use Java. If you take out Java, you take out Minecraft. Except for maybe programming, developement and testing. Java really isn't needed in an educational environment.
