Using Desktop Central Offline
Can DC be used to deploy manually downloaded patches to machines in the LAN? I have a network that can't and won't touch the internet. Win7/2008r2 machines I have successfully remote installed agents on all machines.

Desktop Central's support for Windows 10 LTSB vs CBB
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt598226(v=vs.85).aspx Will Desktop Central be able to support LTSB installations? And also capable of distinguishing them from CBB & Pro Editions? Mixed environments where some systems may be on LTSB while others will be on the standard Enterprise CBB or PRO. We may want to stagger updates and push the so called large quarterly updates to LTSB. But keep CBB & PRO installs updating monthly. Thanks,

Broken Remote Control
Hi - I'm having an issue with Remote Control breaking after a uncertain period of time and needing to reboot the server to be able to use Remote Control again. This happens at very random intervals, with no real rhyme or reason as to why this happens. I realize this is a vague issue, but we're not exactly sure where to start looking. We just restarted the server yesterday and Remote Control functionality has returned, for the time being. I'm going to make sure to use Remote Control daily, so we
Desktop Central Updates
Its nice that Desktop Central 9 lets you know there is a system update or 'hotfix' available on the login page, but can't you add a place to get that download after login? Currently the login page does not display your current version, and I don't memorize my current build number. You already have a nice little build number link that pops up a display of information can't you include a link to whatever the newest hotfix is also?

Please let me know if this is an issue that is fixed in the latest hot fix. Constance

Dashboards for Patch Mgmt. Anyone have one?
What options does one have for a dashboard for patch mgmt.? I used to use a PowerBI dashboard for patch mgmt at my previous job. Currently, I have to provide reports to my manager every 2 weeks and a monthly report covering everything for the previous month and the current month just finished. This is very time consuming to have to pull 9 different reports, filter items, create the pivot tables, etc in Excel. How easy is it to use PowerBi with Desktop Central? I've already mocked up a dashboard

Removing Distribution Servers
Hello, I have 5 Distribution Servers configured in my Desktop Central environment. Since several of my remote offices are very small I would like to remove the Distribution server in those offices and have them communicate with the local office over our MPLS. Do I just simply just remove the remote office and the IP scope which is configured? Will the agents automatically start using the local office as their point of contact?

Modify Configuration Re-Deploys already installed software?
When we setup a configuration, say called "Base Software" and we add a whole site to it along with a list of packages it works great to get them all installed. But, if we make a change to that configuration i.e. adding or removing a package desktop central is re-installing every package completely which is very undesirable. Is this by design? Can we not use the configuration as we visioned, "Base Software" that automatically gets applied when a new PC enters the site (the scope of the configuration).
