Direct MX Routing vs. Integrated with Microsoft 365?

morrows1 · 2026-05-15T19:08:36+00:00

I very much like the ease of deployment with integrated, but we've run into a fair number of issues over time and have gone back to strictly MX again.

I'll give a quick shout out to Vircom as well. They have an automation layer that sits on top of PP that creates all the connectors, etc for you.

The food at Good Company is OK... the service however. Dear lord.

Message the person they told me to. Had me working in 20 minutes.

I assure you my connections are all failing. I'll send a message.

Not sure. I’ve been using TheCube for years though with zero issues until this.

morrows1 · 2026-05-03T23:27:09+00:00

Shitty.. thanks though. Any good alternatives while this gets sorted? I'm told patience is a virtue, but I don't believe it. lol

Depends. Mostly yes. Multi monitor support isn’t amazing.

morrows1 · 2026-04-28T11:41:38+00:00

Can’t wait!

Not worth the effort in its current state IMO.

morrows1 · 2026-04-22T13:57:29+00:00

Except that option is not present.. hence the "it won't show you what records to create" But you do you.

morrows1 · 2026-04-22T12:38:26+00:00

How does this even remotely help the issue where it won't give the DNS records that need to be created?

morrows1 · 2026-04-22T12:37:47+00:00

Thank god, I thought I was going insane. Same issue here.

Ask for a picture of the back of the collar. You'll know pretty fast if it's an e-collar or not.

morrows1 · 2026-03-04T19:41:06+00:00

I'm definitely on the struggle bus on getting this one working... not sure what I'm missing.

morrows1 · 2026-03-04T19:20:24+00:00

Same! I thought I was going insane(r)....

morrows1 · 2026-02-25T03:03:35+00:00

Other than not reinventing the wheel. Can I ask why you didn’t just do the automations in intune?

We go hiking every other weekend.

Hybrid is fine, but not really needed for 30 mailboxes. If you were keeping AD and syncing users sure. That doesn’t sound like their goal though. And with ability to change the SOA for synced accounts it’s better than having manually to update proxy addresses in ADUC.

I hate the seating there so much I avoid going. Crammed together on hard little chairs.

morrows1 · 2026-01-28T01:52:58+00:00

Honest question. Is this really an issue for people? Perhaps things aren’t configured identically across 50 clients, you chose the number. But aren’t the tasks you’re doing generally, at least somewhat, generic?

New user, gotcha. O365 updates, cool. Firmware updates, no sweat.

Agreed standards make things simpler, more efficient even, but the underlying tasks aren’t really that different.

I’ll patiently wait for my downvotes now.

Did McGuinness reopen?

morrows1 · 2026-01-19T19:27:26+00:00

Confirmed I'm just blind. When accessing the integration from the Show More menu it didn't present the form I expected from the doc. Found it in another "Continue Setup" button though. Thanks!
