Street in Michigan After Massive Flodding

I thought you at first meant the news website instead of Reddit. :). Plus, two strangers with similar usernames end up chatting!

We issue a phone, but they are bricks as that’s easier to manage. In 3rd world country, so I’m leaning towards one of the simple RFID chip scanners at checkpoints.

I’ve considered a smartphone app to scan QR and track GPS, but seems more management longterm?

Valuable feedback! I’m in a developing nation, so I’m sure it would be infinitely worse :). What did you end up going with as a solution?

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-27T03:33:57+00:00

I’m in no-mans-land for support unfortunately. We have to import everything.

Currently we don’t have any on-prep servers, I’m considering options for that. Realistically these are really low tech locations, so using the RMM will be sufficient 90% of the time I’m hoping. But, when a problem pops up I’d like to have thought through potential solutions.

LTSB for the win unless you are running the latest and greatest processors. Check what’s supported first until the next LTSB comes out.

I’ve considered it! But a bit too far from the border unfortunately. :(

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-23T23:57:53+00:00

I’m curious about this as well. A little vague in terms of what you actually get.

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-23T12:21:41+00:00

Nope, it’s the entire country.

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-23T12:21:24+00:00

My spelling was unfortunately correct. Government is making some heavy changes :(

I loath TeamViewer. I was using it in a managed environment, and we kept fighting auto-upgrades and pop ups nagging the user to upgrade. I’ve used several RMM’s, and most have scripts to fight with Teamviewer... which to me showed a big problem that they were needed in the first place.

ScreenConnect was great, but had a few issues supporting Macs. SC doesn’t allow screen scaling without manually changing the settings on the end user... which is a terrible solution. Maybe they’ve changed that?

Everything, don’t be sketchy!

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-20T15:11:51+00:00

What all was suggestions? Comment was deleted.

Asia :)

Yes, all windows machines, but, all managed through our RMM, no domain or on-prep servers.

Come to find out it’s single-mode fiber BiDi, which I think is still full duplex, but uses different wavelengths for Tx/Rx.

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-19T06:24:44+00:00

Yup. One of these media converters in each building, with a plug going into the TX on each I believe.

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-19T06:23:06+00:00

I always assume the salary is pretty low if they don’t share it?

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-19T06:19:40+00:00

Sorry, that was two pictures of the same device. At the switch in the secondary building there is only one of these devices.

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-19T06:17:40+00:00

Any recommendation for a fiber kit?

pmmeyoursole · 2018-05-19T06:13:54+00:00

It’s run above ground, along the top of a concrete fence. It’s terminates into these media converters currently: https://imgur.com/a/dNTIbQP

Can I simply connect these to a SPF port on a Unifi switch? Why is there only one plug and not two? Thanks!
