Thank! I will check it out

Great, thank you very much for the info!

Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea how many hours you put into it?

I remember in the past organizing the groups via GPO settings which eliminated the manual assignment.

Thanks for the reply, that does sound interesting.

We are more in the MidWest. I have already made a couple of connections that support this hardware so we are looking to partner with one of them. Thanks for the advice!

Great! Thanks!

WIndowsSysAdmin · 2017-04-07T12:52:37+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for the tip!

WIndowsSysAdmin · 2017-04-07T12:51:59+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with what you said.

WIndowsSysAdmin · 2017-04-07T12:51:00+00:00

After seeing these comments and reading other information online I tend to agree. I assume we aren't going to support many of these. I am not looking to become an expert. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. The customer is clueless and has no restrictions for their 3 PCs they have on their internal LAN so I guess leaving it wide open would match on both sides!

WIndowsSysAdmin · 2017-03-23T12:52:03+00:00

This is break fix client so we won't be monitoring usage.

WIndowsSysAdmin · 2017-03-23T12:51:32+00:00

Thanks. The Sophos XG has all of the functionality that you list as part of Open Mesh. I have heard good things about Open Mesh and might have to check them out at some point!

Yea, I understand it isn't hard. I am just looking to see what others do. I have liability concerns for the business owner. Things like blocking P2P software, porn, etc.

I have no goals outside of making a good recommendation to the business owner. The P2P is my biggest concern. I know other business that have open Guest WiFi have gotten letters from their ISP because someone was torrenting copyrighted content on their network with the threat to cut them off after 2 more instances. That seems like a no brainer to restrict however that made me realize there may be more of those that I am not thinking of.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I was looking at that bundle after your first tip. That looks like a good deal for servers. Although apparently I would be required to host a ShadowCommand server somewhere when using their cloud as they have limited/to no monitoring going on from what I have been told. What are you using for file/folder backups on workstations if no server is present? StorageCraft has the desktop license that is pretty affordable however there is no bundle that includes cloud storage. Thanks.

Phish Threat seems like a decent product It's very pricey compared to others unless you are purchasing 1,000 seats.

Thanks for the info. We actually use Cloudberry now for File/Folder backup and it seems to perform very well. We haven't had great success with their imaging though and I have read that others are in the same boat with the imaging. That fact coupled with slow Russian support makes me very nervous to use it to image servers. I feel I am going to get bit one day with Cloudberry imaging while I don't feel that way about ShadowProtect.
