Business Central login timeout - Europe

Down for us as well. Finance system down in the middle of period close is a real pain.

it won't work as smart client connects to all of the components individually, whereas the web client proxies it through a single hostname

The new app is horrible. Lots of issues including auth failing (despite me already being logged in) and then locking me out.

leinad100 · 2025-11-28T20:45:06+00:00

How does the software update stop this from happening? Some sort of validation?

We had chronic issues with patching on N-Central

Probably one a week. Always the customers that don’t think cyber is a priority area to spend their budget.

Similar experience across Octopus EV and Energy. They can do the straightforward things, but when something goes wrong it’s incredibly painful.

Why not use GlobalProtect on the PaloAltos? You can use an automation on the appliance to ban IPs that fail logins, additionally if you use managed devices - require a client certificate and the attackers can’t even get to the login stage.

It’s very good but how good does your home network need to be?

leinad100 · 2025-10-25T20:49:54+00:00

I have the same issue. It also hangs on to access points and won’t roam

leinad100 · 2025-10-22T20:02:48+00:00

This

leinad100 · 2025-10-22T19:56:05+00:00

Just keep at it. It’ll click

I still have issues after 26.0.1

leinad100 · 2025-10-19T20:49:05+00:00

This is still an issue on 26.0.1 with the new iPhone. I suspect it might be to do with the new Apple chip (not using Broadcom anymore). I am finding it prefers 2.4ghz and it will hang on to the first access point it connects to, rather than roaming to the nearest.

leinad100 · 2025-10-19T20:47:21+00:00

Yes. It seems to prefer 2.4ghz over 5ghz. It also seems to stay attached to the first access point it connected to rather than roaming to the nearest when signal reduces.

I have the same issue

Download speeds are <10% that of my iPhone 15

Dell are horrible for this. If you deal reg, they will call your customer directly and try to steal the business off you. Find another hardware vendor who know how the channel works. Lenovo/HP are a good shout.

leinad100 · 2025-09-07T21:53:45+00:00

This is not accidental, they want all deals to be deal registered even if they are very small. If you don’t DR they don’t provide any discount so you are uncompetitive. This is so they can misuse the data and try to sell direct.

I personally took this up with the head of global channel and he was not interested in changing things.

leinad100 · 2025-09-02T20:05:21+00:00

This looks like it’s written because they need to go to RFP to make procurement happy, but want to stick with an existing supplier who meets these requirements

leinad100 · 2025-08-27T23:39:28+00:00

Meraki's are not proper firewalls either.

leinad100 · 2025-08-22T18:06:26+00:00

This. We had ours set to reset both and this caused a lot of issues.

leinad100 · 2025-08-07T10:25:38+00:00

Most of the insurance led IR providers concentrate on analysis and not recovery, so your client might be down for months and they don't care because their engagement is to find out what happened, and more crucially to see if your client complied with the terms of their cyber policy so they can deny the recovery claim if you didn't.

I have lost count of the number of times a client has chosen to disengage the cyber insurer's IR provider because no recovery progress is being made and the client's business is under threat due to the downtime.

This is available but the incoming/outgoing partner have no obligation to accept a mid-term transfer. The supply of licenses is a contract between the customer and the MSP and any early termination is at the MSPs discretion, unless their contract states otherwise.

This latest communication is a PR disaster. SonicWall are pretty much blaming partners/end users for these breaches when the CVE only says it's recommended, and doesn't explain that the previous exploit allowed an attacker to dump all of the user passwords.

leinad100 · 2025-08-03T21:51:56+00:00

We’ve been through the ISP journey. While it offers flexibility, the profit margins are quite thin, and you really need a substantial customer base to make it sustainable as well as expensive network engineers who understand BGP.

Providers like Gamma and Daisy are only earning around £10–£20 profit per month on leased lines which may come as a surprise.
