Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
-
Is there any support for OSX from MeshCentral 2? or if you know a link on how to?
-
When using the Desktop function, hitting spacebar activates the All displays, Display 1, Display 2 drop-down menu. Can this be disabled?
-
0.3.2-o has released.

In case @Ylian didn't see this. He's asking if there are steps needed, as using the agent failed for him.

just wondering if it is supposed to work on server 2019 core.. Nothing production so no issue if not. but got it installed and when trying to to ctr-alt-del, it doesnt pass it thru.
Would be cool if I could use ctrl-alt-ins to pass thru as ctrl alt del.
Will be updating to new release
shortly. Thanks so much for all your hard work -

2019 Core should not allow the GUI to pass through. You would just use it to attach to the terminal.

OK, makes since. I get the login prompt, just cant pass the ctrl-alt-del, which is why i asked. I am only messing with it in lab environment. I am really liking MC :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:
I am just used to being able to scroll in the command box. Terminal doesn't allow me to scroll from what I see (unless I am missing something, as I haven't had too much time to play with it.)

In a command line environment, is there any purpose for CTRL-ALT-DEL? It doesn't do anything in a CLI environment, it is part of the GUI system.

The feature you want here is not C-A-L, but rather scrolling

Um, CAD absolutely does something. Because that is how Windows Core (and thus Hyper-V Server) requires you to access the system.. Always has.

Not in the terminal. Try using MeshCentral (or ScreenConnect.) There is no purpose for it and nowhere for it to go. It never asks for it and is never used. It is exclusive to the GUI screen.

Except it is not a terminal environment. It is MC/SC remote console, and the Windows console requires CAD.

SAM, if you look at my screen shot, that is from Desktop mode, and its asking for CAD. You would have to do CAD to go in (which is how I installed MC not sure if there was a way to do it in terminal, probably is, but did not want to figure it out). I haven't messed with it (Svr Core) nor power shell enough to know any more. I just was pointing out what I notices, that's all. I know I could use Win Admin Tools (Honolulu) to do stuff, which is cool so far.

https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/issues/123Cool, at least I know I wasn't imaging stuff (or not doing something right)

I understand that. And my point was that you were using the wrong tool.

You only need it because you are on the wrong tab. Switch to the terminal, rather than the desktop.
