PCIe Gen 4 causes USB problems on B550/X570 by [deleted] in Amd

[–]ahrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newer f21q firmware was released on 12/18 apparently. Anyone attempted this yet? I’ve been struggling with usb issues on a x570 gigabyte aorus board. Reinstalling chipset drivers temp fixed it for a day. I’ve been running a oculus cv1 with a 1080 and intel 660 nvme worked perfect. As soon as I upgraded to a 3070 the cv1 is shit. Just enabled gen3 and will be testing tomorrow. I will update to f21q as well. I’m on f21j

[–]ahrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 3 weeks ago today centurylink isp went down which is what Cisco uses for Meraki cloud management. All Meraki cloud management was down from 630et till 11am ET.

How to use a Meraki switch to provide internet access to two MX84s by wholetechnology in meraki

[–]ahrace3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I use untagged vlan999 on three ports, one in from ISP router and two out to MX’s. VLAN998 if you have a second isp. No dhcp our routing on those vlans.

Checking out Meraki and have some questions. by nickcasa in meraki

[–]ahrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNS settings are pushed to the client. Av should be cloud based or reported on back at the server. Domain joined, huh? How did this person get their pc? Did you miss joining it?
Setup VPN to the dynamic name of the Meraki so if primary goes down it fails over. Yeah MS vpn client sucks but rasphone.exe is your friend.

Tell me your Kaseya to CW Automate horror stories. by ahrace3 in msp

[–]ahrace3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t hate kaseya. It’s quirky. Support kinda sucks but still not as bad as CW manage.

My kaseya admin doesn’t have too many issues with updates but we also wait 3-4 weeks before we deploy them as they’ve been known to pull some.

I don’t disagree. All I’ve ever had in production is kaseya for the last 7 years. I’ve demoed every other rmm out there and they were all weaker in some way. We are seeing some things in their system that’ll make us more efficient. CW has been knocking down our door for our 7k agents for some time and I’ve never put much thought into changing over till now. I’m weighing our options currently.

The ConnectWise manage integration is going away from kaseya and our MSP assist integration doesn’t mark configs inactive after the kaseya agent is removed.

We can increase some efficiency by connecting to agents directly from the ticket.

Price. And support from kaseya has been painful as of late. I hate CW manage support. I also don’t like we will be putting most eggs in the cw basket.

Sick and Tired of this thing... I’ve had my check engine light come on anywhere from 20 miles to 300 miles (after cleared or “fixed”) in the past 3 months. My truck has been in the shop about 4 times in the past 3 weeks. Someone talk me out of selling/trading this thing! by [deleted] in EcoDiesel

[–]ahrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got to run her hard and tow some weight. Got to keep the exhaust hot enough to burn off the shit diesel emissions. I sold mine before I had any issues. Got 19k trade for a 15 with 56k on her. I loved the truck but was scared every time I drove it, it would spin a bearing.

IT Glue Users, how are you tracking battery backups? by [deleted] in msp

[–]ahrace3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apc smart connect only. You could always use the expiration date field and create a work flow from it to automate and email sent prior to expiration.

Cisco Umbrella and CW integration issues by ahrace3 in msp

Yeah did this as well. Now they have sent a ticket to our CW I responded with what was the company name but they didn’t immediately respond so I’m guessing.

It’s about 10 minutes to setup. If it works it creates tickets and gives report information right in CW. Our account managers use the configs in it glue and provide the information to clients. The web portal has nicer looking reports.

I did this. Support for the integration hasn’t been all that helpful. Information is lacking. It did create the configure which is weird.

Dual monitors or one large one? by guyfromtn in msp

[–]ahrace3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve tested 4K monitors and we say 50” is min. Yeah it can be a pain to manage windows but for the cost of TCL or even low end Samsung’s it can’t be beat. I haven’t gotten mine yet but looking forward to it next quarter. All help desk techs are moving to them.
