      Let me remind you of what you said about Intel a few years ago after one of their pretty huge vulnerabilities.

      Good point. Shows how even I start to forget where these vendors totally screw up.

      In my defense, I buy exclusively AMD, but start to forget what factors drove me there.

        This is at least a vastly more trustworthy vendor (Intel)

        Intel is a terrible vendor. Security especially and just overall not good. You've complained about how bad they are multiple times here. And it's being developed by a single person not Intel. They may back it in some way which has yet to be proven, but they are not the vendor. And while a single person may be helpful sometimes for quick responses in fixes, more often than not that isn't the case. How many people here who are demanding changes are contributing back to the project either through payments or through code commits? Hopefully this guy doesn't get burnt out like we've seen from other other tools that have popped up here before.

        Intel used to advertise it as an Intel product. "Yet to be proven" makes it sound like this has been somehow disputed in the past.

        I never saw them advertise it. Where was that? The only thing I ever found was a blog post about it on an Intel site.

          Earlier version, they used to have it somewhere associated with the AMT products.

            Isn't the new version still associated with AMT?

              Yes, but the AMT sites used to point to it. Maybe they still do, but I don't mean it pointing to AMT.

                That's the only thing I have ever seen referencing it not from the MeshCentral side. And that's just a blog on the Intel developer site.

                    Interesting. It definitely used to be posted on Intel's site.

                      FYI, Do not update to the current version (0.7.47) of Meshcentral today. Its having issues. About 90% of my systems cannot connect back.

                      EDIT: Actually it is the Windows machines having issues. Linux machines are fine.

                        I'm not noticing any issues and I've been on that version for awhile now.

                          Interesting. I am trying to figure it out at the moment. It has something to do with the meshagent.update.exe getting stuck.

                          From C:\Program Files\Mesh Agent\MeshAgent.log file.

                            0.7.46 introduced some behaviour that is a problem. 0.7.47 didn't have a fix for it. He's looking into it now.

                                  The only solution I've seen which I posted on Github was to kill the Mesh Agent processes, with one being the MeshAgent.Update.exe process, then restart the Mesh Agent Service. That works.
