This was painful to read

TRUE! Wow... some serious lack of BASIC I.T. Knowledge...

Eh, I don't really care about that. We are all in a constant state of learning. I'm not in a position to judge anyone

Right, but claiming to be an expert and putting this as a basis of being an expert is laughable.

And now we pause for a brief commercial interruption.

This thread is brought to you by our sponsor. The Arizona Wine Growers Association.

We started having problems with multiple sites where computers connected via Unifi AP's and 4.3.24.11355 firmware can't get an IP.

I found out that there is a known issue with the current firmware.

The work around is to change the SSID name, provision, and then change it back and provision. Unifi also suggested these settings:

WPA Personal: ON
Block Lan to WLAN multicast data: ON
Fast Roaming: OFF
Encryption: AES/CCMP only
Enable: GTK Rekeying 3600 seconds
Enable Multicast enhancement: ON
DTIM mode 2 G 3 and 5G3
5G Data Rate: ON
5G data rate: 54Mbps

Sends beacons at 6Mbps

Or you can of course downgrade the firmware until there is a fixed version.

Does anyone out there use a template for onboarding new clients?

Asking them for passwords, contact information, etc.

If so, can you share please?

@dustinb3403 I know right!? @tech1 says she would have hit him 15 times and then said, 'looks like you're going to need a hospital'.

@JaredBusch It is just amazing that the user control isn't adequate. This so easily COULD be a great product for MSP's, but their failure to develop (and even worse, they are removing features) that allow you to administer user control.

Server down this morning...
VHDX File is just gone... It's missing...
I found out that Windows Defender had detected it was (or had) a virus and quarantined it...

How Windows defender even would ever quarantine a VHDX is beyond me.

Come on Microsoft!

That's odd. VHD/VHDX files are NOT ever scanned by the host, unless of course they are mounted in the same way as a disk or USB disk is to the host OS for example. Otherwise, they are treated like a black box. So something else had to have happened for it to be quarantined by the host OS. That doesn't just happen willy-nilly.

Additionally, VM files are automatically excluded when the Hyper-V server role is installed. So again, something isn't configured correctly or something weird is going on.

What happened to you isn't default behavior.

Not sure, we 'inherited' the server. We don't do HYPER-V any longer. Everything is KVM now. (Proxmox)

But it was for sure quarantiined. Funny thing is that Windows defender scan of the actual VM shows no virus... So weird.

@jt1001001 I have always regarded TP Link as consumer grade garbage... am I wrong?

Anyone have experience with Aruba instant on?

@JasGot Stock is finally coming back, but that has been a HUGE issue.

Unifi cloud controller user management has gone from bad to worse.

You used to be able to add super admins and they would have access to all sites.

Sadly to delete them you have to change them from a super admin to an admin and delete them from each site manually.

Now you can't even add a super admin. You have to add them site by site in the new Unifi UI.

We are currently looking for alternatives to Unifi as they have shown they aren't interested in working with MSP's... But who?

@Oksana KVM really should be part of the converstaion.

It's so weird, especially after learning other cultures now that I don't live in the USA to watch how people act in the USA.

Such entitlement. It's nuts.

@Obsolesce Yeah, it's pretty clear to us. We shared a link to this post with the client so hopefully he sees this. We shared the same info with him but he keeps trying to interperet it in a way that supports his opinion, even though it's extreemly clearly written.

FFS this is not new. Tell your "client" that you will be happy to report them to Microsoft.

I put client in quotes because they are acting as their own IT. Why are they bothering to hire you.

Report them to the BSA
https://reporting.bsa.org/r/report/add.aspx?src=us&ln=en-us

BSA (from what I can see, doesn't cover Microsoft) but Microsoft has their direct reporting method.

But yes, he's become so toxic that we just can't deal with him as a 'client'. Way to many good clients out there to worry about instead of him.
