Troubleshooting
Firewalls
Some firewalls may prevent the app from working correctly (e.g. ESET). If the app crashes immediately after you accept a call, disable your firewall and try again. If the issue persists, please contact support.
Bulk Installation
If you wish to install the Daktela Desktop App across multiple instances simultaneously, you can do so by following one of the options described below:
Using the Microsoft Intune solution.
in the case of operating with the Microsoft Intune software licence, use it directly.
This process is detailed at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/manage-apps#deploy-apps-your-organization-uses for applications from the Microsoft Store.
Using Active Directory.
prepare a PowerShell script that installs the application from the Microsoft Store (example: "winget install 9phbv0t5qdlp --source msstore"). Execute this script on your instances using GPO (Group Policy Objects).
At Daktela, we do not support bulk installation using ".msi" files because this method would cause the loss of automatic updates that are exclusive to the app hosted in the Microsoft Store.
