Deploy root SSL certificates?
I have internal root CA's that I currently push to my Windows domain via GPO. This works for IE and Chrome, but not Firefox. Is there a way I can deploy a certificate to Firefox installations? And if it is not possible, I would like to request for this feature
Forwarding Server Security
Desktop Central Forwarding server appears to be vulnerable to XSS and Forceful browsing attacks. Is there a way to mitigate this. The default configuration also exposes the DesktopCentral login to the internet, and 2-Factor can be bypassed with the mobile app - all serious security concerns for an internet facing device. How can this be disabled or mitigated? Thanks!
*WARNING* for admins using Automatic Patch Deployment
We just had a mini-crisis with desktop central patch deployment the other day as we had a mess of unapproved updates deploy through our automatic patch deployment policy. After sending our logs to support and long remote assistance session we learned exactly what caused us such a panic. I am sharing with the community to hopefully to spare anyone from a similar scenario. We got lucky in the end, the patches did not negatively affect our PCs. We will not make the same mistake twice.

Wake on LAN not working
I can remote shutdown a computer but not wake up. When remote shutdown the computer completely powers off with the NIC light not blinking. According to the desktopcentral help I have read the NIC light should be blinking for wake on LAN to work. How can this be when the computer is completely shutdown ? According to Microsoft, Windows 7 & Windows 10 are designed to not work in this state (S5) and will only wake on LAN from sleep or hibernate, not shutdown, so I am totally confused as to how this
Where is KB4035631 (August 2017 Windows 10 Servicing Stack Update) within Patch Management?
This new servicing stack update is reported as a Critical Update for WIndows 10 1607 via WSUS - yet there is no sign of it at all within Patch Management in DesktopCentral. I have done several searches - updated DS patch database a few times and nothing can be found. While DS has accounted for all other August 2017 patches - if I am to start using this on a regular basis (and retire WSUS) - it needs to have the identical patches that are offered by WSUS at all times. Appreciate any insight as to
Desktop Central No Longer Deploying Autodesk Software
A couple weeks ago I set up packages in DC to deploy various autodesk software. Because autodesk creates silent install packages using .lnk files, and since DC can't handle .lnk files, I had to create a batch file that launches the .lnk file and silently installs the software. This worked perfectly until a week ago. Now, pushing the software doesn't seem to install the software unless I choose "install as" and then sign in with my network credentials under "run as user." That wouldn't be the end
Post-Installation Activities question
What types of scripts are allowed for post-installation ? .bat / .cmd / .vbs ? What about AutoIt or Python ? Could someone post an example of something simple like a file copy script. Say you want to copy a .txt file to a folder post installation. I am new to Desktop Central and learning something new each day. I appreciate any help.
"Send Request to Help Desk" Icon
End users are using Windows 7 & Windows 10 workstations. My issues involves the learning curve (and lazy curve) that prevents some of my end-users from creating Help Desk requests. The current process is to go down to the System Tray, right click ManageEngine Desktop Central, and the select Send request to Help Desk. Many of my end-users will simply will not do this and I cannot force them to. My goal is to make the Send Request window appear by simply double-clicking on an icon that I push to

Any advice on Windows 10 patch management?
Hi I'd like to consider upgrade clients from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro, but the automatic updates are still an inconvenience of that OS. I'd like to know what Manageengine recommendations are to be able to use the patch management feature of Desktop central properly. I can't find any guide on the website. Is there a way to disable automatic updates by Microsoft in the Pro version? Or will the defer updates need to be activated to avoid immediate update installations? If not both, what is the
Post-Installation Activities
New to Desktop Central, formerly SCCM, and I am already a big fan ! Post installation activities only lists 'custom script'. What kinds of scripts can I use ? .bat .cmd ? What about .vbs, AutoIT, Python ? Also, does my script have to live in the 'script repository' or can it just be added to the software deployment package when I '+add files' ? If someone could post a screenshot of a post-installation script entry that would be super helpful.

Building a Quarterly Pilot/Prod Patching Process
Hello, I work for an MSP and we are trying to build a quarterly prod patching process that includes a pilot group scenario for a particular client and future clients. We currently use Kaseya(we are looking at moving off Kaseya for patching with a possible move to ManageEngine) and the communication from them is that based on how Microsoft handles superseding of Monthly CU/Rollups the Pilot and Prod patching would need to occur in between the releases of Monthly CU/Rollups to avoid superseding making

What does desktop central trigger off to generate the "reboot Required" flag?
We had some technical issues recently and we have a large number of machines reporting reboot required but its not the flag that prompts users. We are trying to determine what resets this flag so we can better understand the issue. Boxes showing this were patched and rebooted after the patch.

How to upgrade to Windows 10 Operating System using Desktop Central?
https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/deploy-windows-10-how-to.html?dci-sdthow\r\n This isn't nearly as useful since desktop central cannot determine the difference between windows 10 versions when creating dynamic groups, deploying software or even in computer details. However desktop central at least knows what patches they should get but that's it. if we could create dynamic groups based on v1511, v1607 and 1703. Now I could target old versions of windows 10 efficiently. it should

Windows 10 Delta Update + Service Pack Blue Screen
A partnering company alerted us to the fact that they had bluescreened all their Windows 10 machines. They have WSUS and an additional update management application deploying to their machines. They said this month they deployed the delta + the windows update and blue screened their machines. I don't know if that means they did not reboot in between deploying the udpates plus the delta, but they suggest many people are experiencing the same issue. What I want to know is, does the DTC logic prevent
