0.2.9-h... busy day!
I was still on 0.2.9-a, fixed that.
-
Just curious are you guys leaving the web portal (login screen) open to all IPs or are you restricting to your office addresses? I like being able to login to our ScreenConnect from everywhere. I am not sure if MeshCentral has a lockout mechanism yet. Granted there is the 2FA now.
-
Is this going to be open source once out of beta?
Also, is there a way to mass deploy it? I understand there isn't an MSI for a group policy deployment.

Already open. Apache 2.0 license.

@CCWTech here is the code...

@scottalanmiller How about deployment?

You can silent install the agent via whatever means you want to push the exe out with.
MeshAgent.exe -fullinstall

Oh, I see.

And now 0.2.9-i
Doing the updates now.

Has this happen to any of you ?
If this happens again, I'll be submitting a ticket.-------- 2/27/2019, 8:57:46 AM ---- 0.2.9-h -------- /opt/meshcentral/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js:421 throw err ^ MongoError: failed to connect to server [127.0.0.1:27017] on first connect [MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017] at Pool.

@black3dynamite No, have not seen that.
But the error appears to be from MongoDB not responding, not from MeshCentral.
-
I've seen the error with NodeBB when MongoDB's Atlas service went down.

Just went to 0.2.9-k
-
Running MC on 2019 end points now and it is noticeably way faster there than on 2012 R2, for example.
-
0.2.9-o
We couldn't update earlier today. Our MC install was getting quite a lot of use. Thanks to MC we were able to do a degree of work that we could never have done with SC due to its connection limits and performance overhead. MC worked like a champ.

The licensing thing I could see - but really - MC is that much better on performance overhead?

Yeah, needs a fraction of the resources and even with heavier use allows us to connect in under a quarter of the time. It makes us dramatically more responsive as the support team.
