@JaredBusch said in Using Skype For Business For Conference Calls:
Skype for Business is now Teams. So the answer is hell to the no.
Honestly, it has always sucked.
Yeah, I'd read that it was now Teams in another thread on ML. Out of curiosity, is there anything specific you can share as to why it sucks? I've not really spent much time with Teams.
@DustinB3403 said in Using Skype For Business For Conference Calls:
It works, but it cost more on top of the existing licensing.
Conferencing allows something like up to 500 callers at a time -don't quote me.
Whereas standard sfb allows 8 callin users at a time which is sufficient for a lot of our users. But our users also don't know how to schedule conferencing without a conference number.
From my reading, Teams includes conference calling for up to 250 people which is way more than they need. Is there something I may have missed?
@Obsolesce Their current setup is actually working really well. They're exploring options and before we got to talking about what would be needed, thought I'd check with the community here to get some info.
I have a client with an Office 365 Business Premium license who's asked about using Skype for Business for conference calls. They are currently setup with voip.ms account and FreePBX powering their calls, which currently includes conference calling. I've not spent much time looking at Skype for Business so wondering if someone here who's spent more time exploring can help me with any gotchas, "no don't bother it sucks because...", or maybe point me to a good resource where I can do some research.
They have a Yealink CP960 in their boardroom which has been amazing but it looks like they would need to purchase a new conference phone that specifically supports Skype for Business (unless I can simply swap the firmware to the one that supports Skype).
They have no intention of using Skype for each user, just for their conference calls.
Any thoughts or pointers?
Clicking on "Manage authenticator app" allows you to disable 2FA at which point you can re-enable it with the new mobile device.
Well, turns out I was just blind. Found it. Ugh...gonna be one of those days.
This thread just makes it seem like Cisco is asleep at the wheel. lol
I have a user setup with access to MeshCentral with 2FA enabled. He now has a new device and we need to reset his 2FA with Google Auth but I can't find a way of doing this within MC without completely deleting the user and creating a new user. Am I missing something? I may be blind so wondering if someone knows how to do this.

Edit: New device = new mobile device
@manxam said in Trying my luck in Toronto, Ontario:
@JaredBusch : Waterloo is over an hour away from Toronto, so quite the difference. Considerably different "way of life" as well.
Similar to saying you live in Buffalo when, in fact, you live in Rochester...
Agree. I live in the Waterloo area and it is NOTHING like Toronto.
Welcome to Canada eh!
Here's your first tip...pronounce it like "Trono" instead of "Toronto" and you'll fit right in

@EddieJennings https://support.plex.tv/articles/216766168-accessing-a-server-through-relay/
It has bandwidth limitations, 1 or 2Mbit, if you have bigger pipe where you host Plex, then exposing port gives you better experience.
I'm streaming from my Plex server located a couple hours away at my house and over wifi on my laptop here and streaming the full 22Mbps movie stream. If your remote and local internet connection can handle it, you can stream at bitstream.
All my music is also on Plex that I stream from there as well.
So to close the loop on this, I finally got this working. The original VM was allocated 30GB memory and 4 cores so it definitely wasn't a resources problem. But I ended up exporting the VM to another Hyper-V host and bam, Minecraft worked. I haven't had time to figure out what was different with the other host but the simple action of moving to new host fixed the issue.
@JaredBusch I have a couple clients using Synology for their auth needs and it's been working extremely well.
@Emad-R Yeah, that was the first thing I tried but no change. Still disconnects after a few seconds.
My kid has asked me to setup a minecraft server for him. No big deal, did that before but this time he's asking for a modded server instead of vanilla.
Testing the setup and I can successfully connect to the server from my desktop running Windows 10 and the same version of Minecraft Forge and the Aether II mod and after a minute or so, the player gets disconnected with this error...
internal exception: java.ioexception: an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host minecraft
The server doesn't appear to display any errors and I get the same disconnect whether UFW is active or not.
My google-fu is failing me and wondering if anyone here has run into this before and found a fix.
@Pete-S said in Service provider - monitoring questions:
Also do you respond to monitoring triggers/tickets 24/7 or just during business hours? I mean if something goes down on Friday evening, will it stay down until Monday morning? Or is this more of an issue in enterprises and not really in the SMB space?
The severity of the issue will dictate whether it needs to be responded to immediately or if it can wait. We have agreements with clients as to what we can action without their prior approval/notification for those critical services so we aren't hung-up waiting for a reply.
@Pete-S said in Service provider - monitoring questions:
But on the monitoring side, I assume you monitor servers and VMs but does your monitoring also goes down to application / services level? With that I mean that not only do you monitor that a server/VM is healthy but also that, for instance, the http server actually is running and have response time that is reasonable and any database connections or other connections that the http server depends on are also actually working. Or do you depend on someone noticing the problem and writing a ticket?
Services that are external facing (like a web page for example) gets monitored via uptimerobot.com.
