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

Schedule Vulnerability Update - Notify When Task Finishes
Originally I had the option to Notify When Task Finishes turned on to e-mail me daily when the Vulnerability DB was updated. I recently decided that I was fine with not adding an additional e-mail to my inbox everyday so I turned it off. However, I am continuing to get these e-mails daily. Here is a copy of the current settings as they appear now....notice that the check box for Notify When Task Finishes is UNCHECKED. Thank you! Richard Admin > Schedule Vulnerable Update Schedule

Purge / Merge / AD Integrated
Does Desktop Central Remove Computers from Inventory after x days or is it possible to set it up to do that? We deploy 10-20 computers a week to replace pc's in the field, it would be nice to remove in AD and it would remove in DC as well.
Adding clients by IP Address

Removing unused software from Inventory list?
We're testing DC and so far only have it running on 5 PCs. However, I've already upgraded the software on them a few times and now I have versions of previous software hanging around the inventory with 0 Installations listed. I can see this list getting positively filled with old software after a year or so. Is there some way to remove or not show software that isn't actually installed on any of the managed systems? Also, is there some reason I can sort the Software Inventory by any column *except*
