@dustinb3403 - Will it really make that much of a difference?

@dustinb3403 said in Comcast just told me to call WOW:

Channel Master DVR+

I live about 50 driving miles W/NW from "downtown" L.A. (currently 2 hours) and antennaweb says "Up to 0 channels from 0 over-the-air stations may be received at this location"

@jaredbusch - I meant on this thread. Not on their site.

I didn't see pricing for the Screenconnect/connectwise hosted listed but I have the hosted unattended access for up to 100 machines and one tech for $600 even, per year.

We use DameWare here and it works great. You should like it. Using PDQ for deployment also and we have been happy with it.

For internal clients, I use dameware remote. I have had it since version 8 or 9 (12 is current). It works 99.9% of the time but the interface is really dated. Think Windows XP. You can pass-through creds so you don't have to manually login just to connect (once connected you have to login, at least that is the way I have to do it). I can't figure out how to standardize the interface. Some systems I connect to, will have the multi-monitor toolbar floating on some other section of my screen and others will have it integrated. Some will have the session windowed and others with the whole window floating with a floating toolbar.

I also use PDQ deploy. I was using the free version for about a year, then I really needed to have some of the functionality of the enterprise version so I finally broke down. It saves an amazing amount of time and once you start building the multiple step deployments, you can really save some time and hassle. I still use a software deployment GPO for things that I want to automatically happen when the system boots and when it has an MSI. But if it is an exe or involves some sort of filecopy or other script, a schedule, several steps that can be automated, I have started using PDQ Deploy.

I have used screenconnect for about 2 years. If you need to remote in via an Android device, make sure you test out their app. It leaves a lot to be desired. The mouse control sucked for the majority of my time using it, then several months ago, the mouse functionality just disappeared and didn't work at all. They finally "corrected" it last month(?) and now it just sucks again.

I used to use LMI and would constantly remote in to do maintenance from my phone. I dropped them because of their rising prices and security concerns. Now, with screenconnect, I don't even bother because the app is that frustrating.

This was on both a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on KitKat and Marshmallow and my Samsung Galaxy S8+ on Nougat.

That being said, if you are just using a laptop or desktop, it is really nice. I am using the hosted version and only had one access issue in April when WebRoot went rogue and it affected their servers.

Maybe Guinness decided to give Ubiquiti free kegs...

For user profile migrations, I generally use Transwiz. It will package the user's profile (domain or local) on the old system and when you run it on the new one, it creates the registry entries and copies all the content to the users folder. I have been using it for years and rarely have any weird issues.

Does it copy the users' cert store?

Good question. I do not know.

@dashrender Done

@aaronstuder Damn. I searched and didn't see it. Not sure how. Oh well. At least one person found it advantageous.
