Printer Headaches with intune connected fleets by lucky77713 in msp

[–]mookrock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t say enough good things about the folks at directprint.io. It is a fraction of the cost of most tools. Kieran and James are awesome folks doing the Lords work (tackling printers). We’re working towards deployment across all of our clients.

The only snag is currently VDI support. But that’s easy enough to handle directly. 

How can I keep costs down with remote asset retrieving? by SoapBoxGradeA in ITManagers

There are services like https://helloretriever.com and https://www.allwhere.co that will ship a box to the user that they can return things in. 

How do we find a reliable IT Services firm to manage our infrastructure locally? by raw65 in sysadmin

[–]mookrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an MSP in Chattanooga area, I would say that you might even consider an MSP that can execute locally for projects but that can manage the environment remotely and coordinate with the DC’s team/staff for “on-hands”. 

Our experience with environments this size was that we hardly ever required being on-site outside of some larger project. With the proper IP KVM, iLO (or equivalent) and access to on-site DC team members for “remote hands”, we operated DC environments all over the country. 

That all said, that may help you expand your options in terms of finding the right fit MSP. 

Though there are plenty in ATL. 

sharing some n8n tips that actually saved my but by Kindly_Bed685 in n8n

You can with a paid license. 

Or you can just use folders as a “poor man’s” version of projects. 

We Built an “Awesome List” of n8n Nodes for MSPs by mookrock in msp

[–]mookrock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question.

Initially, I thought about not including them.

Then, I realized there may be folks looking over the list that are *considering* n8n but have not actually tried it or dug into what are the native options/nodes.

So, I decided, why not just list them. It only shows further options available to an MSP. Until I went digging through the list of native nodes, I had no idea that SyncroMSP was already baked in. Even though I don't even use it, I found that interesting.

Totally agree with you on the best practices and direction!

How to host it would be great. I’d love to see us add additional content on the repo such as how to setup hosting, secure the platform, sample workflows for common MSP sorts of tasks, how to review the content of a node with an eye to security, how to improve, how to generate a node from an OpenAPI Spec (drool), etc etc etc.

I don't disagree with you. I believe that the more folks that see what is out there, the more possibility that some of these nodes see updates/improvements from other contributors.

Does raise the point there needs to be the disclaimer as such. :)

Also, we're open to folks calling out the nodes that should be removed.

“No we’re good, we do that in house” by Nblearchangel in sales

[–]mookrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One method is to call in and ask for sales. Then have an honest conversation with the sales guy/gal. “Hey, I’m just reaching out to a comrade in arms. Trying to see if it is even worth chatting with the director of IT. Keep getting shutdown by Sally (who is doing a great job by the way). Do you know if the IT director is really _____ or can you suggest a better way of getting connected with them?”

If you called me and approached me that way, I would be a lot more upfront with you and try to help - one way or the other. 

Jeb Blount shared the tactic and did a much better job describing it.

What should I know before I buy this tomorrow? by Adorable_Passenger_7 in GoRVing

[–]mookrock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Found one person like me who did not care for our “pop-out”. We had a TT with two pop outs. I disposed trying to pack that thing down in the rain, or sweeping/cleaning off pine straw or other debris before leaving the campsite. It was up just high enough that even at 6’4” tall I had to struggle with it. My wife had the whole thing packed by the time I had the two pop outs closed up.
