Linux patch management not showing any updates
Hi I would like to know what the point of the Linux patch management feature is. I installed it on a Debian machine, but I never see any updates in ME DC, while my Linux system has some (and even important Apache security updates!) available. Does the patch management feature work exactly like on Windows machines? That is, it is showing all available updates for that machine? If so, there another issue is causing the updates not to show up in my ME interface.
Unable to update Desktop Central - Service Desk Plus integration issue
We had a one year trial version of Service Desk Plus that we integrated when setting up Desktop Central. Due to reasons that could not be resolved by support, after a couple months we eventually reverted back to an earlier backup. However, we no longer use Service Desk Plus (nor is it configured for anything). However, our Desktop Central is telling us there are security updates, but when we try to download/install them, it tells us that we must use Service Desk Plus .... but we no longer use Service
Troubleshooting failed scans from Linux clients.

Unable to edit Custom Groups.
I had created Custom Groups dynamically based on the machine names. Later on when I want to add one more criteria so that kind on machines are also added to the Custom Group, I am not able to edit the group. It seems the only option is to delete the group and recreate it which is a tedious task as I have a lot of such dynamic custom groups.

Deploying a network printer and set it as default
So I have been able to use the IP Printer configuration option to add a network printer to a user/computer, and a custom script configuration to set the printer as the default. I want these to run automatically when a user logs into a shared PC. My question is, how to ensure the IP Printer configuration is applied before the script to set the printer as the default?

Put back "Next Run" column for Automated Patch Deployment
The "Next Run" column has to be put back in the dashboard for Automated Patch Deployment. I've created tickets about this that have been ignored.

Hello From my understanding when you remote control to a device it is done through the central server. We have sites in various continents with a local IT team and a local distribution server who have performance issues when remote controlling their local machines. Is there a way of utilizing their local Distribution server instead of going through the central server?

As the title suggests, I have the Desktop Central/SDP Integration enabled and working, however when someone disconnects from a remote session, and it opens the dialogue for work log/resolution/notes, the user enters that info, but regardless of the user logged in, SDP reports the user that entered the info as one particular user.

We are planning to reinstall Desktop Central on a new server platform as it is currently running on Server 2008.

I have contacted the person I deal with on licensing issues and asked him to direct my questions to the appropriate person, but I thought it made sense to put the question out here. is anyone doing this? if so, how are yo handling

Configure a Scheduled Task as current domain user
Hello. I'm trying to deploy a Task Scheduler entry that will run as whatever current user is on the system deployed to. i.e. if I deploy to PC TEST01 and Dan Mulcahy is logged in there, the task will run as Dan Mulcahy's domain account. It needs to be dynamic as I would want to deploy to 60+ PCs on the domain. If I deploy the Task now, it can deploy OK when set to run as the SYSTEM user but this will not run properly on the PC itself. If I manually update the Task on the PC to run as a domain user,
