Anyone else have issues that any change to a host and it often loses contact with the MeshCentral server? We have to reinstall the agent on some machines often because of this.
Did a V2V of a Windows 2016 host this weekend, and the MC agent went offline from that. It's still running as a service, it just doesn't connect. So we reinstall and, of course, it works instantly after that. But it seems to have some issues with resiliency for changes that should not affect it at all.

@scottalanmiller Yep, happening quite a lot actually.

Seems like it needs a second agent to make sure that it works, lol.

Does MeshCentral automatically update now? I snafu'd my system and built it when it was 0.44a... It now is showing 0.44-s.
I'm not complaining, lol. Just something I noticed.

If you set it to, it will. It's done that for a long time now.

I have not had this issue but I only have 45 machines and they are all Windows 10.Edit - Forgot the two windows 2016 servers with no issues.

That might only be like 3 days worth of updates, sometimes they do a crazy number of releases in a short time...

Yeah. It's not the number of updates that surprised me. It's the fact that it updated on its own. I just checked my config file and the SelfUpdate is on, so nothing broken, system working as designed.

Or set it to update automatically.
