Big thank you to Veit Wahlich who submitted the German translation of MeshCentral! It's now published as part of v0.4.6-w. This is amazing!

The one the #1 thing I dislike about MC is the session opening in a full browser window. I hate that. I lose way too much screen real estate to like using it.

Looks like some good updates came through today and last week. You can assign users to individual systems now instead of the entire group.

been a little while, we've been using that a bit. Great stuff, though, really makes a difference.

That doesn't appear if you are running MeshCentral as root.

Has anyone tried using the noVNC option? I was pretty excited to see additional ways to remote desktop onto the computer as the default desktop viewer is sometimes a little limited. I couldn't get it to work. I wasn't sure is this was an AMT only option or if it should just work out of the box.

http://info.meshcentral.com/downloads/MeshCentral2/MeshCentral2UserGuide-0.2.9.pdfI don't understand why 80 and 443 are being used. Just use 8080 and 8443 (or literally anything >1024) like other applications and either use a proxy or port redirection. This also disables LD_LIBRARY_PATH. And it looks like Node has specifically tried to stop this because any node process would be able to bind to root only ports: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/22648

Has this project been put under any security review or scrutiny? It seems to me like people are rushing to deploy beta software with full access to their environment and exposing it to the world without due diligence. This software is still in beta and there some reflags in the way people are installing it as well.

Well, these things may sound bad. But compare to the competition which is often under less review, releases to "production" what wouldn't qualify as beta here, and often requires worse installation.
It would be great if someone wants to do a security code review. But is there any product in this category that has gotten such a treatment? This is the only one even open for review. It's at least open and written in a modern way. Something few, if any, of its competition can say.
Name a product that is out there that isn't worse from this aspect? I've certainly seen none. Definitely not LogMeIn, ConnectWise or many others. This is at least a vastly more trustworthy vendor (Intel), made in a modern fashion, and open source. One of the most important rules in decision making - never avoid the best because it fails to be perfect. In an ideal world, everything would get a full security review. Short of that, you have to deal with realism and finding the best option.

Not yet, but have been meaning to.

I have a hard time believing that breaking system security or being forced to run the tool as root is not a worse instsllation.
