Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
-
How do you go about updating the Agents already installed? How are people handling this?
-
@scottalanmiller Published MeshCentral v0.4.5-f that should fix a problem with the web application.
@hobbit666 When you update the server, all agents are automatically updated. -

Ok, after reviewing, I am seeing Linux and Windows. What about Macs?

Its been working great at work. I also use it to help friends and family.
Remote Desktop doesn't work with Linux distros that is using Wayland session.
When you want to remote desktop into a Linux distro, make sure you are using Xorg.
It doesn't work with Wayland. -
0.4.5-w just released.
-
@black3dynamite MeshCentral should be able to (I think) support Wayland, what distribution are you using?
-
@Ylian in case you've not seen it, we are running an update thread now, too...

Fedora 31 GNOME. I just get a black screen when using Wayland but its all fine with Xorg.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for the new link. Just bookmarked it.
@black3dynamite Thanks for the distro, I will pass that to Bryan so he can test the agent with it. -
@Ylian Added a feature request discussion. For us, this one is the difference between full production and just "sometimes"... for use in a larger org or an MSP, it'll make all the difference.

@Ylian, Quick question what is the agent tag supposed to be used for? I see I can set it via the -tag:xxx after triggering a full install from the cli but since I cant find a way from the GUI to filter for it, I am not sure what it is for.

When in the GUI, you can ease it as a search term. It gets picked up by the general full text search. You can't filter by tag (I vote for this feature, though), but you can search by it.

@scottalanmiller This are different tags
Red Agent tag set via :
.\mc.exe -fullinstall -tag:xlabBlue Tags are set via the webpage
