      I'm a fan of the one liner assuming you are transferring all roles to the same DC.

      Move-ADDirectoryServerOperationMasterRole -Identity "DC-Server" -OperationMasterRole 0,1,2,3,4

      @JaredBusch - I know their site says Windows, but maybe something related with the firewall rules getting messed up.

      @syko24 said in SAMIT: Why You Can't Share QuickBooks on Google Drive for Mutiuser:

      There is a product out there called QBox that allows you to lock and sync the file with multiple locations. The downside is that remote users can only access the file when the local users have closed out of QuickBooks. Kind of a neat product but again not ideal when you need multiuser access all the time. The best solution in my opinion is an RDS server with the QuickBooks data file stored on the RDS for best performance.

      As the QuickBooks desktop products seem to be coming closer and closer to an end, I agree that the online version is likely the best way to go. Part of the problem is that users have been using the desktop version for so long that the online version becomes very foreign to them and most want to return back to the desktop version.

      Yeah, that's not multiuser but rather "rapidly changing and coordinated single user". Could be a useful solution for some, though. You can do this with most products. NextCloud for example.

      From the use case I've seen that is correct on being a single user product. I did watch the video on the link I posted and it does look like you can still do multiuser as long as the users are all on the same network. The remote user can only access once all the local users are out of the file and it has done it's sync. The file locking is automatic as well which is nice. It basically prevents the outside user from accidently overwriting your changes.

      @AdamF Just looking at the syntax, have you tried using 1 and 0 instead of true / false?

      Good idea, but this is the direct from the manual. So I would assume that "true" is the correct value.

      @Ylian posted a response to a similar issue on Reddit. Make sure the passwordrequirements section is inside the default domain section.

      https://www.reddit.com/r/MeshCentral/comments/sct26v/having_trouble_with_force2factor_configjson_option/

      Hmm. It is inside the domain section, and the whole config file is valid JSON. At least it is valid JSON as far as an online validator is concerned. It's either still something wrong with my config, or is there another option that I am missing to enable this?

      Not sure what follows your passwordRequirements section, but maybe you need a comma after your last }

    • RE: Insurance form and MFA

      @scottalanmiller said in Insurance form and MFA:

      They mean signing into Active Directory, not the server (the server too, I'm sure.) Do your users have MFA when signing into their desktops?

      No they don't have MFA for signing into the desktops.

      They also mentioned MFA for routers. Not sure the edgerouter can do this.

    • Insurance form and MFA

      A client sent me a cyber security insurance form and asked me to fill it out for them. One of the sections has to do with MFA of remote access which is something I feel is covered (ScreenConnect with one time passcode).

      However, the next section mentions internal MFA and then lists active directory and firewalls. So I guess my question is does this sound like they want MFA when signing into the domain controller or firewall? I guess you could have a smart card or Yukikey for the domain controller. What would be an option for MFA on an edgerouter?

    • RE: ONLYOFFICE has released ONLYOFFICE Docs version 7.1.

      @syko24 said in ONLYOFFICE has released ONLYOFFICE Docs version 7.1.:

      OnlyOffice is a pretty nice alternative to MS Office. If they had an email client that would definitely be a huge plus for their product.

      An email client? When would that be useful? All business email products have their own clients when needed and use web interfaces for most things (including offline handling.) Generally email clients as standalone things aren't considered a good thing (think the disaster that is Outlook.) I think no one offers one because no one should want it.

      What are you looking to do with an email client? What's the use case?

      I know lots of people still use Outlook because users are addicted to it. But if you are going to leave Outlook, you'd not move them to another fat client, but to the modern interfaces everyone offers.

      While I agree that fat clients are not always the best option, most end users prefer Outlook as you said. My point was having something like emclient or similar would make OnlyOffice more of an apples to apples comparison to MS Office.

      Outlook is so much better when using the PWA version, even with it you should be getting rid of the fat client!

      Not for someone who has multiple email addresses. Having to constantly click back and forth to change the user account is not ideal.

      I misread that. Yeah only 140 agents.

      Apparently I am far behind.

      We use it pretty extensively 🙂

      @scottalanmiller - Just curious are you still using Tactical or just Mesh these days? I've been playing around with Tactical internally and definitely a great solution. I know you mentioned a while back you were using that and Mesh separate from each other.

      @jasgot - What value do you have set for MaximumAttachmentSize? Value is set in KB so make sure you have the appropriate number. If that looks good then possibly try a reboot after modifiying the value.

    • RE: Scheduled Task run cycle

      I do the same thing for QuickBooks Database Manager that runs on a domain controller. Intuit made the decision to use ports that overlap the DNS Server ports and cause QBDBMgr to stop running. My powershell script checks the status of the QuickBooks services and if they are stopped restarts DNS Server and the QB services. Ugly but it works.

      @syko24 said in Remote Printer reverses report:

      @wrcombs - We have a couple GoToMyPC accounts. When the user prints, are they using the GoToMyPC printer or did you install the actual printer on the remote system and use the GoToMyPC Printer Port?

      If you install the actual drivers of the printer and use the GoToMyPC printer port you tend to get better results. Also print jobs print a lot faster than just using the generic GoToMyPC printer.

      I dont believe the printer was ever actually installed at the remote site - I think they're just using the printer port -

      If you don't have the ability to install the printer directly, maybe as a work around, have them print to Microsoft PDF printer first and then print the pdf using the GoToMyPC printer.
