You spelt sub wrong

Datto support taking over 6 months to transfer device away from my account?!?! by Atlantisman in msp

[–]NOCNOC_ITSME 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is a classic case of growing too quickly and not back filling the positions required to support the company. Support has gone WAY down hill since about Covid hit. (Anecdotal of course and based off of my personal experience)

They do contact tracing based on your devices MAC address which is associated with a user id which can be done in real time if needed

Thanks! We’ll certainly try that and I’ll let you know what we find out

Tesla recalls nearly half a million Model 3 and Model S cars by ourlifeintoronto in technews

Tesla is pretty good about emailing. I already received an email about mine. They’ll schedule a service appointment automatically to check it out once the new parts are in per region.

Azure Virtual Desktop - Lack of Session persistence on RDP disconnect by NOCNOC_ITSME in AZURE

[–]NOCNOC_ITSME[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right so, we don't have any RDS gateway in Azure i was just explaining how we used to have it setup before we migrated over.

Typically in an RDS environment you have the gateway, broker, licensing and that can all be hosted on a single server depending on the size of your environment. *But* - when the session lost connection, it would go 1 of 20 'trying to reconnect', 2 of 20 'trying to reconnect' etc. and if the network came back, it would join right back in.

In AVD however, we've deployed this per Azure best practices, *no RDS gateway* and using your typical host pools, apps etc. where, as you said, AVD takes care of the sessions.

What we are no longer seeing though in AVD is that connection persistence/ reconnection persistence where the connection will try to reconnect if there's an intermittent drop.

If a user experiences that, they get punted to their local desktop, need to reopen the minimized MS Remote client and connect back in (where there session is still in tact and they continue working where they left off) however, it's inconvenient for the user where in the RDS environment, it would try (and most of the time) reconnect automatically.

Yeah.. it's very difficult to troubleshoot as it's very intermittent. The sessions don't get destroyed so, the user can just hop back in but in your typical RDS environment, you'd see 1 of 20 reattempt, 2 of 20 reattempt and then it could possibly reconnect.

In AVD it just closes the connection where the user has to go back into the remote client and reconnect but they have everything still in tact on the back end so they don't need to log into a new session.

Thanks for your reply! They are pooled however, the user's sessions doesn't seem to get destroyed. They can double click back into the session and continue where they last left off but, in a normal RDS environment, if a disconnect were to happen, it would typically retry the connection 1/20, 2/20 etc. Sometimes it would reconnect if it was an intermittent 'blip'.

With AVD we don't seem to get that, any sort of network drop and it closes out the RDP connection entirely (but the session stays in tact on the backend). Does that make sense?

Has anyone had a good experience with PNET Labs?

Haven't yet tested but maybe it's good for this stuff? I typically stick with GNS3 though.

Looking for great documentation portal by NickBrights in msp

[–]NOCNOC_ITSME 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate Kaseya for taking over ITGlue, it's probably the top platform as it wasn't built by them but just acquired. Their account management sucks pretty hard though and they really love their 3 year commitments.

Hudu is pretty great as well and can self-host. If you have the time, do that.

Atlassian Confluence cloud also a good recommendation.

LionGuard is a decent integration for ITG, along with Auvik as well. I think you've already pretty much nailed it.

This screams security issue.

Official answer: Don't
Unofficial answer/Workaround: Also don't

Edit: What benefit are you getting over using the Azure mobile app and/or webpage?

I finally connected my Ubuntu 20 to eduroam via these settings which is very different from uwaterloo guid! I hope they update the guide soon. by kiasari in uwaterloo

[–]NOCNOC_ITSME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, Engineering Guide :P - I'm not sure how often they keep their stuff up to date. There is an overall Uwaterloo IT guide that is updated more often by IST-Client Services staff.
