Logon Script... I must be doing something wrong....
Help- I'm trying to set the logon script up to deploy standardized signatures for all users. I've created a shared folder on the server with the logon.bat, also in that folder is the exe signature file that .bat file refers to. I created the script in Desktop Central to execute at log on but nothing happens. If I manually browse to the folder and execute the .bat file is works, so I know that's not the issue. Any ideas?

When Scanning Novell Login Prompt is Displayed on Computers
Hello, I am testing out the Desktop Central product for a patch management solution. Some of our workstations are part of a AD domain and some are not. All computers have a Novell client since we use Novell e-directory for user authentication and file/print server access. When initiating a scan of a test workstation that is part of the AD domain a Novell Login prompt shows up on the workstation. The supplied credentials we entered were for the AD domain. Why is the Novell login prompting during

Managing Software Installations
Hello, I am having a difficult time figuring out how to manage software installation/uninstallation for computers and users. I got it to work by creating a package, and then a configuration for that package, however, it can't be that I need to create or edit a package every time I want to install a piece of software for a computer or user...can it? I was 'hoping' that I would simply create a package, and that Desktop Central would create the install and uninstall configuration for me, and that I
Easier way to manage software installation?
Hello, I am having a really difficult time trying to understand how the software deployment works. I can get software installed and uninstalled, but I can't believe that I have to make or edit a configuration every single time I want to install or uninstall software from a few computers...

I was "hoping" that I could just create a package with install and uninstall parameters, scripts, etc, and that the Desktop

Urgent! Silent Install Issues..
I'm attempting the silent install on a few machines located on the network. I followed the steps and the install seems to be a success. When I check the machines they have the Desktop Agent directory (c:\Program Files\DesktopCentral_Agent). However, when I check in the MSP Center, it shows I do not have any desktops set up and 0 desktop agents installed. Can anyone assist?
Scan times out
I installed the evaluation version of Desktop Central. Initially it indexed everything, and installed perfectly. I pushed out an update to test, and everything went great. Went back to "scan assets" and started a scan. It scans (4 computers) for 10+ minutes, before returning a "scan timed out". The strange thing is that if I uninstall all the agents, and reinstall them, they will pick up whatever is in the queue to be installed, and work for one scan. Then, they will cease to allow any subsequent

No Computer is being managed by Desktop Central, but it is!
Hello, If I click on reports tab it says "No Computer is being managed by Desktop Central"; so, I click on 'add computers in Lan' and the only computer I have added is right there! Why does it say it is not? I have installed the agent, and added the credentials in ManageEngine (seemingly correctly). If I go to scan_systems->patch_scan and select the system and click on scan_system I get "Patch scan has been completed successfully" but at the same time last_scan_status: failed, and remarks:'Logon

Hotfix Releases
So...maybe I'm just being dense, but where exactly to you find out what is the current version that is available? Is this something that you should be able to find in Desktop Central 6 as a highlighted item in the Support > General Details screen that you NEED AN UPDATE!! or something to that effect? Seems like I have to "hear" about it on these forums that there is a hotfix release or wait for a monthly newsletter to actually find out about it. Would be really nice to get an e-mail or some type

Hotifx 60331 killed Export PDF function for me
I just applied the latest hotfix (build 60331) and the "Export PDF" function no longer seems to work. After I click it the cursor spins for a few seconds and then I just get returned to the Home Page. It was working previously. Could this be something wrong on my system or is this a problem with this build?
Hotfix 60331
Hello - I received an error during the installation of this hotfix. I uploaded my logs. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I'm afraid to start up DC even though it supposedly rolled back to the last hotfix. I didn't backup the entire DC Server folder -- just the data folder. Yeah, my bad. What do I need to do to correct this? Should I uninstall DC, reinstall it, and then copy my data-backup to the data folder? Thanks- jsbac

How to deploy MS Office 2007 Proofing tools
Hi all, I'm experiencing problems with the unattended install of the office proofing tools. I tried almost everything MS gives (install separate language files through msi, use the config.xml file, etc...) but none of them work. My installation usually fails with an Unknown Error, Code 30054 showing in Desktop Central. Is there anyone here who managed to install these tools succesfully? If so I sure would like to hear how you did it. :) Best regards, Sven
MS Office 2007 - Proofing Tools
Hi all, I am trying to perform an unattended install of the Office 2007 proofing tools. So far this has proven to be rather tricky which is something i didn't expect because MS separated the proofing tools (only for 2007) into MSI packages. So far i have tried almost everything MS provides (separate msi installs, use of config.xml, ...) Is there anyone here who succeedded in deploying the proofing tools? If so, i sure would like to know how :) Regards, Sven PS: my deployment usually fails
