@scottalanmiller said in Ninja RMM antivirus integration issues. Is Ninja even production ready?:

And they've been unable to offer any kind of viable backup system. Again, another conversation, but I asked about this at Spiceworld and their follow up was basically "we have no idea what our customers need in general but this one customer needs something unlike anyone else and we are only going to look at their needs" and totally ignoring the needs of the MSP or SMB market, which is really the only one that needs RMM on any scale, especially an RMM like this that does so little.

I swear, simply "not installing it" would make no difference, it seems to add nothing of value other than an inventory list, but that's manually maintained anyway, so we could just make wiki entries for a fraction of the effort.

It does have useful alerts, but nothing that can't be accomplished with open source software.

@openit said in Zentyal community edition - is ok for production? and using VLAN with Zentyal.:

EdgeRouter seems a cheap and very worthy product, may suggest my friend as well, who used to setup small offices (with around 15 workstations).

As well as... what? Absolutely it would not be okay to use anything he builds himself. One is the best default option, one is nearly the worst.

Thank you currently i put 30 days as wont let me add less to test it out i guess have to wait around a few weeks to test it out thank you again

Is there anything new with updating the script? 🙂

Thanks a lot for nice insights.

Inkscape can import cgm files.

@scottalanmiller said in Can You Use an HP 22-3019 AIO Just As a Monitor:

Turns out they misread the model number. It's a Dell Optiplex with no connectors.

The hell. . . Dell doesn't even look remotely close to HP.

The branding alone. . .

@scottalanmiller said in Mail Server with app like google for testing:

That said, if you were doing Postfix (I prefer to Exim) and Dovecot and skipped the Webmin or any other front end piece and stuff 100% with NextCloud for the web interface then you could run on an even smaller instance with as little as 512MB of RAM easily.

I saw the 512 instance and thought the 10GB ssd might be too small for an IMAP mail server, and since it's only $1.5(ipv6) or $2.5(ipv4) cheaper.... 🙂

Oh true, that might be small. But for just two users, probably okay.

@scottalanmiller said in Free Upgrade to Windows 10 in 2019 from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1:

Two weeks left for those trying to go from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The Free Upgrade depends on the OS being current, remember.

Do you think those people who have not upgraded by the 14th will be UNABLE to install and activate from their Windows 7 or 8.1 key?

Notice how I didn't ask about any licensing issues. I already know that answer. 🙂

Likely the ability to upgrade won't change, if there was time/date detection, we'd already have heard about it.

@Dashrender said in SAMIT: Do You Really Need Active Directory:

I am surprised that MS didn't come out with a better solution for this ages ago. That whole Direct Connect or whatever it was called - phone home VPN solution they have for Enterprise edition only - what a kluge.

They are working on phasing this out. DirectAccess was a kludge that is being replaced by Always-On-VPN. Which works on versions of Windows Professional and Up and requires very little outside of a certificate and Group Policies (or Intune).

It probably actually finished in the background and the gui was just hung. I wouldn't be surprised if you rebooted it and it told you it was preparing windows 10 for you and then booted up with the new environment.

I've not looked for one before, but here are some options...

@JaredBusch said in Live boot:

No he wasn't. he was helping someone else.

Your response is both confirmation and denial to my question.

I get that it's a definition about what live booting is. I was asking why was he posting it. You stated "No he wasn't" (wasn't what, helping someone?) and then said he was helping someone.

. And like truecrypt it could be picked back up again.

Software, not a service.

Plus the authors were never trying to profit off truecrypt - Scott clearly wants to make a profit from these efforts.

That's not the point. Even if it did make money and they decided to cancel it or it died for another reason it could be picked back up again. Making money is not a factor there.

@Ylian said in MeshCentral Feature Request: User Groups:

@scottalanmiller Feedback appreciated, let me know if it works for you. I did post a new blog on this topic today.

We've started testing it and so far, yes, it is working!

@coliver Right, bitwarden.

I am.

And, how do you like it?

I like it a lot. It does everything I need it to do.

Same here. I've been using them for a few years now... Makes switching browsers a breeze.

@BraswellJay said in SMB share from RHEL access issues ...:

I did enable SMB v1 on the windows 10 clients thinking that would be necessary but that did not have any effect.

On Windows 10, did you enable SMB v1 server or client? In this case, you would need to enable only client to make this work, assuming this is the problem.
