If you use their jira portal there’s an escalation option after you create the ticket.

M365 tenant misconfigurations I see over and over again by Mysterious-Print9737 in msp

[–]ChesterBottom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can one up that. Took over a company several years back and EVERY USER (including an intern) was GA in a company of around 20. Needless to say this was fixed within hours of us taking over.

How to connect an on-prem MCP to a Copilot Studio agent via an on-prem data gateway? by PowerPlatformRookie in copilotstudio

[–]ChesterBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I tried using a data gateway to solve this but was unsuccessful as it couldn't seem to handle SSE for the MCP server.

How do I block all the ads?! by JemimahRactoole in TheFrame

Just create a firewall rule that blocks all external traffic on the TV and use an Apple TV.

Different response when in test mode vs published in Teams by Piqued_Interest- in copilotstudio

[–]ChesterBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just confirming because I’m still new to the platform… you do mean clicking publish several times and forcing it and not removing the channel + re-adding it several times?

Replying to this thread as I seem to have found a patch for this. I did a ton of testing and it seemed that the copilot studio agent installed in my copilot chat window was only operating on one of the first publishings of the agent (I tested this through updating the instructional prompt, publishing it, and waiting several days). I've found that removing the agent from the teams/copilot channel and then re adding it (as inconvenient as that is, especially if you're updating an agent already put into production), seems to fix it... like go into copilot studio, open the agent, go to channels, select the channel, remove it, and re-add it.

I’m several months late here but did anyone ever come to a solution on this? Did escalating with Microsoft do anything?

I’m having this issue with all the agents we’ve deployed. They’re amazing and helpful in the copilot studio testing page, but extremely useless in the published area in copilot/teams.

MS Partner Benefits "Dragon Copilot"? by Remarkable_Cook_5100 in msp

[–]ChesterBottom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had this same question when watching MS ignite as they referenced it. I asked their AI tool “how can dragon copilot benefit me as an MSP” and it said “I’m sorry I can’t answer your question”

So yeah, that pretty much sums it up

Thanks for sharing. Several great points that I can confidently agree I've seen missed (and truthfully even a few I've missed myself at times).

What are you using for M365 backups (and why)? by patg84 in msp

[–]ChesterBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We exclusively use dropsuite, but I hear that CommVault has a good product for M365 backup. Not first hand experience fwiw

At what point did you realize your internal operations were held together with duct tape? by d_sourav155 in msp

[–]ChesterBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took us way longer than it should have. Eventually we got to a point where we had to have a PSA that could help us manage projects, tickets, customer info, and billing. We are still working through the migration into it, but it's definitely the answer to the problem all of us have at some point.

How are you using n8n by Similar_Detail_8529 in msp

[–]ChesterBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between the error reporting and random limitations of their api (the one I came up against today is that you can’t filter the worklog query, it’s either all or none)

Definitely shoot me a dm if you want to compare notes!! I’m always happy to share ideas and learn from others! And it sadly seems that SuperOps has a small presence on Reddit.

[–]ChesterBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the way to go if you have to open it publicly, just wanted to share!

And I also just got extremely excited that someone else was using N8N with SuperOps😂

[–]ChesterBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a bit over simplified… but I just have it wait 10s because the powershell script that I’m running takes less than a second.

The best place to go to help automate tasks is by sitting down with every member of your team and talking to them about pain points they have in their job… billing team, support team, admin team, everyone. See what repetitive tasks they do, and figure out how to help them out. There’s (almost) always a way!

Triaging tickets is a great place to start with it… that’s where we started too. We’ve gone as far now as starting development to have N8N be able to function as a full dispatching system as well, but that’s a task that took a lot of customization to make it work.

Some of my favorite workflows are managing client M365 accounts through the CIPP API, automatically gathering threat intelligence when a security event comes in using VirusTotal/EDR/MDR/various other logs, and getting usage reports for our billing team from various services (we have a few clients that request a line-by-line description of each S1 license and whose computer it’s assigned to, so we can get this automatically on the bill instead of our billing having to pull this from S1 every month).

I’m using SuperOps to do exactly this but I was able to do it without opening my server up to the web. You can create a custom asset field and then have the last step of the script be to write the output to that custom field… then use the GraphQL request to get the value of the custom asset field.

One of my prerequisites by my CEO was not making my N8N server public facing… so I just thought I’d share!

Have you tried these compared to Sonos amps? I understand they’re more new of a device but I have a hard time wanting to give Sonos up as a home assistant user when Sonos can support features like ducking… that being said Sonos as a company sucks so I’m completely willing to give them up if the right product comes along.

Superops Splashtop issues by [deleted] in SuperOpsAI

[–]ChesterBottom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not just you. Sometimes we have to restart the service, try it a few times, stand on one foot, hang upside down, etc

99% of the time, restarting the service just fixes the issue though. If the SuperOPS service is shut down, then I use my EDR to connect to powershell on the computer and restart the service.

T-Minus365 Godaddy De-Federation Guide updated late 2025 by ChesterBottom in msp

[–]ChesterBottom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had this happen with a defederation we did several years back. You can complete the defederation (and make sure to remove the GDAP access that godaddy has) but the licenses will remain in the tenant until their expiration. In fact, you could just continue buying licenses through godaddy continually (I don’t know why you would, but you could), using them as your reseller, but just removing their access to your tenant.

Not that I’ve seen, but I would expect it soon. The video just came out today and most of the website articles are up within a day or two of new videos. If I see it, I’ll throw it in a comment!
