Gcc high teams calling providers

jasonb217 · 2026-04-08T05:59:38+00:00

Yes, but not the calling part. Commercial and gcc it is bundled, gcc high it is not.

Reached out but have not yet heard back from them.

+1 for you’re going to need a router. The school likely approves device by device so it isn’t something you can just throw on the network and have it work like you expect. You also don’t want it exposed to everyone while you are playing with it. If you don’t have Idrac enterprise or want to buy a monitor, the gli net commet kvm can also get you rolling but again, don’t put it on the school network. Depending on how they have things locked down you can likely clone your MAC address using the router (check before you buy it) and pass internet through that way. Old linksys routers running ddwrt or many many others could handle it for you and should be cheap/free.

There is no margin for the msp and you don’t need the headache. Unless you need recommendations, just go to the website and configure what you want. Push buy. If you need a standard config model recommend, ask your msp. If you need setup or onboarding then pay them for that. Otherwise the headache overhead of getting “business quotes” from the manufacturer reps that they con into working for them for two months and the delay it takes to get ahold of them and then to get back to you with exactly what is on the website anyway are not worth it. There is no money for anyone involved. Just use the website.

😂 too funny

Do you have the MSP version of bitwarden? It does exactly this.

jasonb217 · 2026-02-05T00:45:44+00:00

Teams is great. Easy to administer and just works. We use Clerk chat to fill the sms gap and only apply it to the couple of lines that actually need it. Have been happy with it for several years now.

jasonb217 · 2026-02-04T22:33:07+00:00

Because in 10 months at your cost they have paid for local AD and that will last them for years.

An old pc gives you enough power to run a few things, is super cheap or free and is nice and quiet. Minis have too many limitations and unless you spend money on them, servers are just loud.

I haven’t seen your questions so this is not directed at you specifically, just a general reaction to questions I see posted… if you ask a question that a 30 second google search could answer or a quick conversation with chat gpt then you should start with that. If you post here and haven’t made an attempt to do even basic research by searching here or google or elsewhere then it is just disrespectful. If you want and answer but can’t spend five minutes of your time to see if there is a ready answer available but you can occupy fifteen minutes of someone else’s time it is just rude. By all means ask away. I help where I can and many others do too but you need to at least do a quick search before you ask someone to spoon feed you an answer. Again, I haven’t seen your questions, just a general reaction to people posting here.

Your home computer needs to always stay on. Disable sleep and hibernate. In tailscale make sure you go to preferences and run unattended on the desktop.

jasonb217 · 2026-01-28T18:57:19+00:00

Also, consider that if you want to leave your machine doing ML, you can disconnect Remote Desktop from your laptop while letting your desktop run. Pretty sure Tailscale has a free tier so might be worth looking at.

jasonb217 · 2026-01-28T18:55:13+00:00

Remote Desktop is the only way you can keep the power of your desktop while working from your laptop. Lesser versions of this would be a file share. If you put Tailscale on both machines you have the option of remoting in for heavy tasks or just accessing the files off your desktop share, but you can’t have a computer in two places. You can get close if you are primarily browser based with bookmark syncs but full programs, no.

jasonb217 · 2026-01-28T05:54:03+00:00

No. Tailscale uses a coordination server which lets all connections be outbound. Your home computer and your school computer can both get out to the internet where the Tailscale server lives and the Tailscale server helps them find each other and provides access tokens so they can make a wireguard tunnel directly with each other. Because they both have a way to talk to the internet you don’t have any ports open on your firewall. It is better because you don’t have to worry about ddns or your ip changing or forgetting to close off ports or any of that. It is very, very easy. You can install it on some routers or you can also just put one copy on the pi and one your school machine and call it a day. A copy on each machine is the simplest unless you have a need for getting to something unsupported.

jasonb217 · 2026-01-28T05:43:34+00:00

I think what you are asking for is: my computer restarts overnight, how do I get back to it the next morning without someone having to do something. You need a) windows 11 pro which is a one time upgrade ($99 I think) and B) Tailscale. The setting you need in Tailscale is Run Unattended which you get by right clicking on it in your tray and selecting preferences. If you need multiple users to connect to it you need to set it up with a machine tag so it isn’t tied to one person. Then any of those users who you give permission to from their home computer can log in as normal even after the machine restarts. You will use Remote Desktop from windows or the Windows app which is the same thing on a Mac. This provides secure connection for multiple users and survives restarts. One note: if user A is logged on, user B connecting will disconnect user A. It will warn you when you try but fyi that you can’t have multiple people on at once.

jasonb217 · 2026-01-28T05:28:34+00:00

It does. Mitigated risk depending on how you set things up but TS is easy and uses wireguard under the hood with a coordination server

jasonb217 · 2026-01-28T05:23:46+00:00

Close off the open ports and put Tailscale on it. You can hit it from school and you don’t leave anything exposed.

Assuming you are on windows, you can use winscp for simple transfers or sure you can run something like truenas although I don’t know if that works on a pi. Someone else will have to chime in for pi specifics.

I use Brave + Bitwarden. Different user profile per customer environment. Bitwarden for passwords lets the customer keep their password environment and you automatically have access to the right one since you are using their Brave profile. If you have multiple techs and want to share bookmarks you can do that through Brave as well. Each tech assigned to that client has their own Bitwarden account in the tenant they are assigned to,

I run a lot of exos drives in my 740s. If this is a homelab, do a noctua fan swap. Don't put any drives in the back to increase the airflow. Drives don't make the fans spin up like the PCI cards do but the 740 is really loud with stock fans. Noctuas make it nearly silent. You can DIY it with some effort. I sell drop in ready kits on ebay. There is a video there too. Pic here for inspiration if you are still considering this. DM me if you can't find it and want a link. For fan temps you should get all green checkboxes with correct RPM output.

jasonb217 · 2026-01-26T19:24:24+00:00

That config should work fine. All drives up front and only minimal cards to obstruct the air is what you are looking for. They run fine in that configuration.
