This was painful to read

TRUE! Wow... some serious lack of BASIC I.T. Knowledge...

Eh, I don't really care about that. We are all in a constant state of learning. I'm not in a position to judge anyone

Right, but claiming to be an expert and putting this as a basis of being an expert is laughable.

And now we pause for a brief commercial interruption.

This thread is brought to you by our sponsor. The Arizona Wine Growers Association.

We started having problems with multiple sites where computers connected via Unifi AP's and 4.3.24.11355 firmware can't get an IP.

I found out that there is a known issue with the current firmware.

The work around is to change the SSID name, provision, and then change it back and provision. Unifi also suggested these settings:

WPA Personal: ON
Block Lan to WLAN multicast data: ON
Fast Roaming: OFF
Encryption: AES/CCMP only
Enable: GTK Rekeying 3600 seconds
Enable Multicast enhancement: ON
DTIM mode 2 G 3 and 5G3
5G Data Rate: ON
5G data rate: 54Mbps

Sends beacons at 6Mbps

Or you can of course downgrade the firmware until there is a fixed version.

Does anyone out there use a template for onboarding new clients?

Asking them for passwords, contact information, etc.

If so, can you share please?

@dustinb3403 I know right!? @tech1 says she would have hit him 15 times and then said, 'looks like you're going to need a hospital'.

This always confuses me when setting up Ubuntu Server. What is "SEARCH DOMAINS". I would think it would be easy to find an answer online, but I am coming up blank.

@Mario-Jakovina The UNIFI Dream Machines are really nice. I use it for my parents' house.

@dbeato said in Alternative to Screenconnect (and Mesh Central):

I know in a pinch you can use AnyDesk, it works well. Check DWS Service

Thanks. I'll take a look.

@travisdh1 Still planning on using Mesh, it's just at times Mesh is offline or won't send a particular key combo, etc...

I've been looking into Rust, that may be an option.

We currently use Mesh Central as our primary software for remoting into machines.
We currently use ScreenConnect as a backup solution (when Mesh has problems, etc.)

However, ScreenConnect requires a Windows server (it technically works on Linux, but is not supported and for many reasons has poor performance).

I'm looking for suggestions for an alternate to Screenconnect that isn't Mesh Central. We have about 10 users and 2500 machines. I would like to host myself on something like VULTR.

SELF HOSTED, LOW COST or FREE is a HUGE plus.

@Obsolesce said in How to get Chrome to remember which monitors to open on:

@CCWTech download the MS power toys and use fancy zones.

Unless I am missing something, it looks like that won't work. It all opens in ONE Window. So I don't see that it will drag the tabs the way they were...

And just this evening I went to watch TV and I came back... Guess what? Windows decided to reboot for updates while I was gone...

I gotta go back to Ubuntu I suppose... I just wish there were better games for it...

@Obsolesce Ok, I'll look at this, thanks!

@DustinB3403 I wish I could add two more honestly! But it's so frustrating because with Ubuntu, it just worked... If only there were more apps written for Ubuntu!

@DustinB3403 What I get instead...
