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*
Urgent.. MEDC Agents
Hi, After the installation of build 60328, all the agents upgraded to version 6.3.25 Now, if I right clicked the agent and selected "Send request to helpdesk" it will take around 20-30 seconds to show the window and and another 20 seconds to send the message!! This will happen also for all the options in the list. if double clicked the agent icon, Agent will crash and show send error to microsoft and will not start again automaticlly!! what shall I do to fix this ASAP??!! Best Regards, Omar

full missing patches download for all affected systems
I want to apply all critical missing patches to all pcs that require it (I think what you call Affected Systems). If I select all the missing critical pathces and deploy them (by creating the congiruration) will it push every individual patch to its affected systems or to all systems ??? Am just worried that it will push all the missing patches to all the systems registered in my desktop central! regardless if the system requires the patch or not or if it is compatible or not! Thanks

User Regedit
I tried to modify registry entries through a script and published the script as install/uninstall software, both process and registry status were successfully applied. but actually it was not. when I checked the registry I found the entries still as they are. this happened when I tried to add keys to (HKEY_CURRENT_USER), but for (HKEY_USERS) it worked fine. note that most of our network users login to 2 or more PCs with the same username so applying registry settings through configurations by

Add Current System Time
Would really like to see the Current System Time added to any place that you have to put in an actual time. This is extremely important when you are wanting to push something immediately...since there isn't an immediate option you have to choose the next minute...and knowing what the current system time is would be helpful.
What do you consider a "Weekday"

Remote Control :: Access Denied
I have one system that I am unable to access remotely. When I attempt to access the machine an error appears beside the machine in the SOM tab that states, "Access Denied". I have reference the knowledge base and have re-entered my credentials but, as I said previously, I can get to all other machines. Additionally, I verified that his firewall permits Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop. I know that the server can manipulate the machine in general because his agent was updated shortly after I applied
"Last SuccessFul Vulnerability DB Update"
I have noticed that this does not get updated when it automatically checks the Vulnerability DB. It appears to be successful, because if I manually sync it, it says it's up-to-date and then the "Last Successful Vulnerability DB Update" status gets updated. I just downloaded the latest build - 60323 - and I am still seeing this. Thanks - Jsbac

Automatic Patch Deployment Not Working
I am running Automated Patch Deployment, and it was running fine...however since I created a Support File to send to AdventNet this appears to have stopped working....not sure if one has to do with the other but it happened right about the same time. The Automated Patch Deployment shows that it was successful and it runs at the time I have set it to, however there is no longer any DEPLOY PATCHES configuration showing up. This has been like this for a week. Any ideas? Thx! Richard
Exception Report in Desktop Central
Is there any way to create an exception report on software not installed in Desktop Central? For instance, can I create a report that tells me all of the systems in Inventory that do NOT have WinZip installed?
Install UltraVNC and config file
Okay I have been able to deploy UltraVNC silently via DC, however the part missing is copying the ultravnc.ini and security file to the machine. I have tried setting up "file folder" operation to copy the files to the machine as the user logs in but keep getting access is denied which makes no sense. Works fine if the folder exists but when "create directory if doesn't exist" is checked is when I get access denied message. Any ideas.
Generating a report
Dears, I created a task to poll the defragmentation status of all servers. I have to go and click on every server at least twice (once for C drive and the other for D drive) in order to know the status of the drive, whether it needs defrag or not. Is there a way to display the results in a more friendly way like a report and charts. I hope that there is a way to save this generated report as a PDF report and the ability to be sent automatically be email. Thank you in advance.
Office 2007 install/upgrade/uninstall

Listing of ALL printers (networked, local, and shared)?
We need to get a count of all printers in our network...not just "networked" printers (hosted via a server), but also all local and/or shared printers. This information is available by walking through each and every PC one at a time and going into the hardware information, but with several hundred PCs, this is not workable. Is there a better way to collect this information? Is there a report that lists all printers, networked and local and shared? Thanks!
Agent Installation - One time or perpetual?
When adding computers in SOM and installing the agent immediately, there are some computers that will not have the agent installed because they are not currently connected to the network...specifically laptops. The question I have is does DC6 continually try to install the Agent to these computers, or is it a one time thing? Reason I ask is that we have probably 50-75 laptops that I want included in patch updates, software rollouts etc, but if I have to keep trying to hit them manually to install
