Malwarebytes false positive - Launch Application
Malwarebytes has quarantined a registry entry because it thinks it's malware. HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUNONCE|Appln1104042454 Quarantined Trojan.Agent.Gen I think it is related to a "Launch Application" configuration I've deployed in Desktop Central. Can you confirm if this is one of your keys? I can make an exclusion, but will the registry entry always be the same, or is the number at the end random. Will it always begin with Appln, because MBAM will allow me to make an
Configuring Alert E-mails

Issue Automating Deployments on "First" Day of Month
Hello We are have real problem when trying to schedule a job on the "First" Day of month. It the scheduler ignores the first occurrence and selects the next occurrence as the "First" day. See below where I schedule a job to start on the First Friday of April - The date it chooses is the Friday the 8th, rather than the real First Friday the 1st. This is the same if i try the First Sunday.. It will select the 10th rather than the 3rd of April. This causes us a very real problem, as we are trying to

Hi, We are using the scheduled shutdown tool to shutdown every computers that are still on at 09:00 pm (scheduled every day at 8:45 with 15 min of grace time). This week-end we had Windows update on the ME DC server and after its reboot the Desktopcentral server service was stopped (until now it is a normal behaviour).

Evaluating Desktop Central - Best practices and recommendations regarding software deployment
Hello, we are currently evaluating Desktop Central to replace our current software deployment solution, WPKG (in combination with Wpkg-Gp for installation during system boot). WPKG is a very simple, xml driven deployment solution that works well when used in an intranet environment but it is a bit limited when dealing with slower network connections. When testing Desktop Central I noticed that DC is conceptually quite different from WPKG and I'd like to know how admins generally use DC. For instance,

URGENT - Time to fix and provide a total Patching solution
In the past I have reported that Desktop Central Patch Management is not doing the job that was presented on the website and by the sales team at Manage Engine. Several times we have reported that the system is NOT fully patching all of the missing patches on our systems. We work diligently to make sure that our systems get fully patched to mitigate vulnerabilities that are present on the systems. Every month, we have to spend additional time validating that all of the patches get applied to our
Desktop Central Mac Agent Root Account
In Desktop Central 9 Build No:92022, I'm trying to configure the Mac Agent settings. There is a username and password, but username shows "root" and it won't let me change it. We are running Mac OS X 10.11.3, and by default, the root account is disabled. I'm assuming it is best practice to leave it disabled? What are the options to get the agent working, or are we required to enable the root account?

Any tips on handling a large number of computers that are temporarily offline?
Does anyone have any tips on handling a large number of computers that are temporarily offline? We have a large number of computers that are temporarily in storage. They are cluttering up our computer lists for remote control, software updates, and patch management. They will be going back online eventually and I don't want to loose track of them or the information about them in Desktop Central so I would rather not take them out of the SOM. I have tried putting them in a Remote Office but that didn't

Unable to update Patch Sync
I have struggled to update the patch sync since installing to try Desktop Central 9 about 12 days ago. We do not have a proxy server but a direct internet connection once authenticated on the domain. I have verified activity is not blocked by our firewall but the connection cannot be made. I have followed the details here https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/patch_management_vulnerability_connection.html When I do a nslookp on the two domains listed they resolve to 117.20.43.137.
How to handle many configurations for inital setup
Hi @ all, we use DTC very intensively for client configuration, especially for the initial setup of a new windows client. Until now we have over 15 configs that need to be executed on new clients. These configs are already "collections" which take several steps. Other execute batch files, edit registry entries or use the user management feature von DTC. Unfortunately I cannot make one big config because for excample I cannot run several scripts from one config (there is no "add more scripts"). Even

Deploying DC to all machines on network
Hi, I am looking at making sure all our machines within our company that are on our network / domain are showing in Desktop Central. Is there somewhere within Desktop Central that would pick up machines on the network which currently don't have the client, to allow me to push the client out to it, or would they need to have the desktop client installed on each machine for it to be picked up within Desktop Central itself? Hope that made sense.
Understanding, how and when Configurations are executed (zombie configs or not taking action)
Hello @all, I am currently testing, whether we could disable the netlogon-scripts and instead use a user-configuration which gets deployed at every logon. During my tests I have had some strange issues: 1. I have had a couple of batch scripts uploaded into the script repository and I had several user configurations to deploy these batches during login. Some of them did not work very good so I moved the configurations to "trash". But at the next login they were still deployed! I can even see the entry

Need a report of first contact with ME DC for computers
I'd like to get a simple report for the first contact of a PC to ME DC, but not the one under AD Reports, since most of our computers are in a Workgroup in the field. Hope this is an easy one. Basically, we have the ME DC Agent baked into our images which doesn't contact the server until the PC name changes. Works like a charm. What I need is a way to determine when a machine first appeared in SOM, as this report will give us when each PC was first deployed in the company. Thanks!

100% cpu on managed Windows Server 2012 R2 servers
I find that after a scan of my servers, some of the Windows Server 2012 R2 machines remain consuming 100% cpu. The only workaround is to kill the process Microsoft Windows Scripting Host. I have attached an example screen shot. I strongly suspect ME DC is causing this, probably when it's doing a patch scan. (or something like that) Has anyone seen this before and have a fix? Cheers, Steve.
