  • Thank you for the context.

    I honestly expected that to be exactly that, overly alternating (at least from a stand point of majority of users) passwords. I was just curious as the grievance felt very case specific.

    That’s certainly a problem I thankfully do not encounter, our Mac users use their O365 logins just like our PC users. If they forget it, they don’t need my help changing or checking it. I haven’t encountered the wifi at login issue, though. That probably piqued my curiosity the most. Our Macs use web auth for login by default (with option to use locally cached password instead) and it requires an internet connection to work. If the mac’s couldn’t/didn’t connect, most wouldn’t be able to login. I could absolutely see this being an issue in a new place where no internet connection has been established before the issue, like a hotel or airport.

    They all have a JIC hidden local account too, though. If OPs MDM tools include this option, it could be helpful for the cited scenario(s)





  • From the IT side, I personally hate that 80% of the random teams issues our users have, clearing the apps cache is the only solution. An average user shouldn’t need to dig around in unfamiliar directories and clear out this cache to get teams working again. From my experience, most users won’t do this bc they’re afraid of causing more damage (imo a smart hesitation.)

    If the app can update itself can it not also refresh that cache more often? Can a button in settings not be given to users the flush cache and restart the app? (This can currently be done in Windows by going to Settings > Apps and resetting the app from the Installed Apps list, but there is no such option on Macs. It’s an OS agnostic issue, we should have an OS agnostic solution.) There’s got to be better ways to resolve these issues that all require the removal/refreshing of a folder’s contents. I can only imagine how much of a nightmare this is to resolve within companies that don’t have dedicated IT or tech savvy users to dig up these resolutions and fix the problem, especially given the often inadequate and outdated documentation Microsoft provides.

    Terminus is nice and has a lot of platform options. Ive used on an old ipad in the past. If you have several machines, I highly recommend servercat. Works wonderfully on iphone, ipad, and Mac. It also has options to write and store commands to easily send out to any number of devices with a taps/clicks.
