Group Sync
Probably a stupid question, but when we add a PC to a group that is part of a configuration, how soon will Desktop Central's configuration realize there is a new member in that group to install a package. Example - We packaged Bluebeam 2018; created a configuration to look at a Group with Computer members; we added 2 new PCs to the group today (only 1 was seen by the way); how soon and how does DC know there are changes to the group?
Mac Tray icon and submit ticket window
I'm testing the usage of the desktop central tray icon in regards to working with enabling users to submit their own support tickets and I've noticed that on the mac client when you start typing in the description box the return/enter key does not work as expected. In the windows client it moves to a new line as expected. On the mac client it actually classed that key press as a "submit" button and sends the ticket. So the end user is basically limited to one line of text and this isn't really usable

Going insane over here - Error "The specified network name is no longer available"
All, Desktop Central v10 has been running superb here for well over a year - but sometime in the last few weeks (possibly after a router firmware upgrade) something has happened to my DS server - either it's DNS entries or something unknown (Possibly router?).

Server 2016 not reporting missing updates in Desktop Central
We have several (~30) Server 2016 machines at this point and it seems Desktop Central is not reporting the updates correctly. I can see some updates for 2016 under available patches, but none show up under applicable and none show up as missing on any of my servers in the software. However if i log into the servers and check for updates there are updates that it downloads and installs. I have updated the patch database, rescanned for patches on the servers but none of the updates show as available
Report for all agent currently online
Is there a report to show all current agent that are online or have been online at all during a given day. Or even show all agent that have been active within 24hours. and show what Active directory Ou location they are in. I was able to filter live agent in SOM but the only way i was able to show OU location was to add a custom field and then manually input the value. Is there a way to populate this custom field automatically?

Why is a 4 year old ASP (IIS?) patch suddenly showing up today in Desktop Central?
Doing some maintenance today - and saw this patch being referenced for 4 of my Windows 10 machines: https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/patch-management/Microsoft-ASP.NET-MVC-2/AspNetMVC2.html This patch was issued well before the existence of Windows 10 and appears to be for IIS?

Google Chrome switched from 64-bit to 32-bit?
Hi everyone All our 64-bit Windows 10 PCs where 64-bit Google Chrome was installed somehow switched to 32-bit Google Chrome when the September patch (Google Chrome 69.0.3497.92) was deployed by Desktop Central. I only noticed it today when I wanted to approve the most recent Chrome update. I was confused that all our PCs were asking for the 32-bit patch instead of the 64-bit patch. I have opened a ticket but wanted to ask the community if anybody else is seeing this? Thank you. Regards Stefan

Windows Server 2003 is not supported by Mozilla anymore.
Hi, we've got some older Windows 2K3 servers which were recently added to Desktop Central. When looking through the list of missing patches for these servers I noticed that Firefox ESR 60 is suggested which is wrong because Mozilla stopped supporting older windows releases recently and the last installable Firefox ESR version for theses system ist Firefox ESR 52. So please update your patch db ASAP to fix this issue.

Is it possible to use two desktop central servers with the same agent?
I currently have a 50 device licensed ME DC server on-prem. But I would like to have backup DC server on a remote server so I can still connect to some important clients when the on-prem server containing ME DC is down. ME DC provides a free license up to a certain number of clients and that would be a solution for my situation. But will it also use the same agents on the devices or install a new one on each one I add to to the backup ME DC server too? Is it possible to make this work?

Software Metering
I have added 2 different applications to the software metering. I can't get the metering to report. I have removed and re-added the rules for each of the software apps. I verified the Original File name is correct. Also these are software packages that I have manually added the packages to Desktop Central. I would't think that would make any difference but I don't know. Why would these software packages not report?
