You can silent install the agent via whatever means you want to push the exe out with.
MeshAgent.exe -fullinstall -

Oh, I see.

And now 0.2.9-i
Doing the updates now.
-
Has this happen to any of you ?
If this happens again, I'll be submitting a ticket.-------- 2/27/2019, 8:57:46 AM ---- 0.2.9-h -------- /opt/meshcentral/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js:421 throw err ^ MongoError: failed to connect to server [127.0.0.1:27017] on first connect [MongoError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017] at Pool.

@black3dynamite No, have not seen that.
But the error appears to be from MongoDB not responding, not from MeshCentral.
-
I've seen the error with NodeBB when MongoDB's Atlas service went down.

Just went to 0.2.9-k
-
Running MC on 2019 end points now and it is noticeably way faster there than on 2012 R2, for example.
-
0.2.9-o
We couldn't update earlier today. Our MC install was getting quite a lot of use. Thanks to MC we were able to do a degree of work that we could never have done with SC due to its connection limits and performance overhead. MC worked like a champ.

The licensing thing I could see - but really - MC is that much better on performance overhead?

Yeah, needs a fraction of the resources and even with heavier use allows us to connect in under a quarter of the time. It makes us dramatically more responsive as the support team.

It is working pretty good at this point for me, but it is missing a couple things I require for full use.
I have one client that requires consent before letting the connection run.
I have other clients that are only comfortable with the always on connection because they are alerted that we are connected by the task icon and or the notice banner at the top, and or the black background.
-
Good input. Working on a few big ticket items right now (Agent update recovery and Intel AMT CCM activation), but user notification & consent is a frequently asked feature. Will try to give it a first go at it next week.

Yeah, that's really big.

Awesome, thanks.

Just up to 0.2.9-z now.

What's the trick to copy/paste?
