1 585: Interview With Ben Greiner founder of Forget Computers, Apple champion and growth advisor at Addigy 56:47
Join us as we welcome back Ben Greiner, founder of Forget Computers and Apple champion and growth advisor at Addigy . In this engaging discussion, Ben reflects on his over 20-year journey in the Apple MSP world, the evolving landscape of IT management, and his role at Addigy. Ben shares insights on the integration of Apple-focused services into larger Windows-managed environments, the importance of compliance, and how Apple's advanced tools are setting new standards in the industry. This episode is filled with invaluable tips for MSPs looking to expand their Apple service offerings and successfully navigate the merger and acquisition landscape. The hosts reflect on the 10 years in between Ben’s appearances. Ross Matsuda, another CCP guest, also worked for Forget Computers. Early on, Ben created Robot Cloud. This has since morphed into Vision Bot at Ntiva. Ben talks about adapting to client needs. Ben advises to look at the management tools that only focus on Apple products like Jamf, Kandji, and Addigy. We get into how Ben switched from Jamf to Addigy. Switching MDMs was harder than switching communication tools. Most small MSPs are under one million in revenue a year. Ben talks about how the 10,000 Small Business program by Goldman Sachs helped his business grow. Forget Computers was acquired by Ntiva. Ben takes us down that road. Apple vs Windows Support - it is difficult for Windows MSPs to make the shift to support the Apple platform. Standardizing Apple Device Management Proactive vs Reactive Device Enrollment Ben works with existing customers to help them grow with Addigy. Ben brings up the shift to Declarative Device Management Compliance Standards and Challenges - is Windows really better built for business than Apple? Or has that paradigm shifted? Jerry wants to know more about the 1Password acquisition on Kolide. What is the future of Device Management and Security? You can find Ben Greiner on LinkedIn .…

Joe discusses the problem with automatically forwarding mail in the era of DMARC and walks through an explanation from Kerio: - You have a hosted Kerio email account, with a domain of clientname.com - You have a forwarding rule configured to forward all email addressed to name@clientname.com to clientaddress@gmail.com - Gmail enforces a DMARC policy - Gmail sees the forwarded email as if they were coming from the original sender, e.g.: Facebook, PayPal, etc. etc. - But the emails are NOT coming from the mailservers of those senders (e.g. mail.facebook.com, mail.paypal.com – fake examples), they are actually coming from the Kerio mail server (mail.itekmail.com) - This triggers a failure of compliance with DMARC, since the sending mail server doesn't match the sending address. - Unfortunately there isn't much we can do about this, other than use the main account (name@clientname.com), setting it up on a mail client of your choice, to avoid this problem. - Joe and Jerry discuss Eero, and Joe explains the challenge of configuring an alternate subnet: - Eero ad automatically assigned 192.168.7.1 subnet - AV guy had static IPs manually assigned to two IR controllers - had to use Advanced settings to hangs subnet to 10.0.0.0 (10.0.1.0 not an option; annoying because that's a common Apple one so this must be a common issue) - tried to adjust starting IP to 10.0.0.1, subnet to 255.255.0.0, and ending IP to 10.0.1.254; didn't work - after updating, allowed me to select 10.0.0.0 range and change it to 10.0.1.0 range, which worked…
