MeshCommander - IPv6 support, Improved Multi-Language support

MeshCommander is a web-based Intel® AMT management console that includes remote desktop, terminal, disk redirection and much more. MeshCommander v0.9.0 was published recently and includes updates to the MSI, NPM and Firmware versions of MeshCommander. As users know, MeshCommander is available in many different flavors to suite different usages and platforms. For the first time yesterday, MeshCommander now offers a multi-language solution for replacing the Intel AMT built-in WebUI with a web page in a non-English language. In addition, v0.9.0 includes many bug fixes and full support for IPv6. In detail:

  • Firmware Edition. The firmware edition of MeshCommander replaces the built-in Intel AMT web pages with a much more powerful web app that includes a KVM viewer, WSMAN stack, VT100 terminal and IDER support. For the first time, the firmware loader for MeshCommander comes with the “Standard” and “Advanced” version of the web application for 11 different languages. So, a total of 22 web applications are compiled and included in the loader. Users select which one they want. You can get the latest firmware edition here.
  • Windows MSI edition. This is the most generally well know and used version of MeshCommander. Like all other editions, it now comes with full support for IPv6. That is, you can activate and configure IPv6 on Intel AMT. Once activated, you can also connect to the Intel AMT device using IPv6. When adding a computer to the list, make sure to use square brackets [] when entering an IPv6 address. As far as I know, this makes MeshCommander the only fully featured Intel AMT console to support IPv6. You can get the latest MSI edition here.
  • NPM edition. If running on Linux or macOS or any platform with NodeJS support, you can quickly install MeshCommander using “npm intall meshcommander”. Once running, it will start a small web server on port 3000 and you can browse to it to start managing your Intel AMT computers. This latest version includes support for 11 languages and the web server will automatically serve the correct web page for the language setting of your browser. Supported languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese. You can get the latest NPM edition here.

Of course, many more bug fixes were also made on these new versions of MeshCommander. As usual, feedback appreciated. If you see any problems and need support on something, please create a new issue on GitHub or help other users.

Enjoy,
Ylian

MeshCentral - Windows ARM64, NodeJS v11, NPM Packages

Hi all. It's been a while since I last posted and now that I am settling a bit more in my work at Microsoft, I have a bit of time to occasionally look after MeshCentral again. It's about time, there where a bunch of things that needed to get fixed. Before that, I want to say that I am doing great. I am working on Microsoft Forms which is one of the offerings of Microsoft 365. For kicks, I started a YouTube channel on Microsoft Forms here during a Microsoft hacking week. I tried to up my game since the videos I last published for MeshCentral. Also, I wanted to share pictures below. I was at a Tesla Supercharger last weekend and, by luck, got to see a Tesla Cybertruck in person. It's very big. Obviously, this is a release candidate driven by a Tesla employee. I saw it after attempting to see the solar eclipse over Oregon, but sadly, too many clouds and saw nothing. In any case, back to MeshCentral. In the last few months a few things have happened with the new releases. Wind...

Starting work at Microsoft

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since the last blog post and I wanted up update everyone on what is going on. As many of you know already from a discussion on GitHub , Bryan and I have been laid-off from Intel in early November 2022. This was quite a surprise as MeshCentral, MeshCommander, MeshCMD and other tools where widely used. This said, Intel has been having poor financials and Bryan and I where part of a very large first wave of downsizing by the company that involved many people that I know and worked with for a long time. I had been working for Intel for over 25 years having started in September 1998. Over the years I worked on IPsec key negotiation, Universal Plug & Play, DLNA and Intel® AMT. I loved working on all these projects and especially loved working with the open-source community on Mesh projects. Obviously, this was not my decision and Bryan and I had look for what comes next. One option was to continue working on MeshCentral as part of another company or with...
