Desktop Central 9 Post-deployment activity script not executing properly
I am using the software deployment feature of desktop central 9 to deploy a software MSI package. The software itself installs without issue through Desktop Central but I have a script set to run in my post deployment activity that is not working as intended. The script is supposed to launch the program after it has been installed. If I run the script from the local computer or even the network share myself it opens the program as intended but when it is executed through Desktop Central it does not.

More than one repository
Hello, I am fairly new to Desktop Central. I have 2 domains and the agents are properly talking to them. I currently have a software repository working on one domain. I would like a separate one for the other. I see the option to pick the path but it doesn't seem like I can pick more than one. Could anyone guide me through the correct steps? Thanks
Automated Deployment configuration reporting 'not scanned'
Hi, I've been using the automated deployment for some time now and its been working, for the most part, okay. That is until recently when the patch database lost sync with manage engine (our ISP blocked our NTP server for reasons known only to them... which through our server times out of whack). After fixing that issue, I went back to leaving our automated deployment to run but I soon found that when I added new machines to the deployment configuration, they where being ignored so I deleted that

SoM - add computers - nothing happens
This has been present for at least a couple of patch versions. In the Scope of Management screen, if I click Add Computers, I see my domains. If i click Select Computers beside my domain nothing happens when usually there's a pop-up with a list of computers available. Due to this I can't remotely add the client to any machines. I've tried it in Firefox 39.0.3 and IE 11. I've cleared cache, nothing, pop-up blockers are off.
Desktop Central MDM access path
Hello, We are actually testing the MDM integrated with DesktopCentral. Could we know what are the access path used by an IOS device to communicate with the Desktop Central MDM? The idea is to restrict (by whitelisting or by blacklisting) the remote access on the Desktop Central server (which is accessed by reverse-proxy), so nobody can access the administration of DesktopCentral and so the mobile users can still fully use MDM. Thanks. Best regards, Sylvain

RADIUS for SD+ or Desktop Central?
Do you support RADIUS for 2 factor (RSA) authentication to either of these systems? Google didn't help much on this topic (I fear that it's because there's no support for it). I am most interested in it for Desktop Central, because it carries the ability to manipulate various systems on the network and a compromised technician's account could be extremely problematic.
Forcing a re-attempt
Hi, I posted last week about trying to work out why my patches were not deploying, and had some amazing help which has since enabled me to progress with my testing. I now face another little issue, I have had a look through the Admin Guide and cannot see what I'm looking for (unless I've been really blind). I have deployed an install to around 150 machines, 19 are still 'Yet To Apply' and this was because they were switched off. Since then, 3 more machines have been turned on and are showing as online

Desktop Central Server applied in DMZ
Hi Community, my environment forces me to deploy Desktop Central Server inside DMZ. We also have a Workgroup and Windows 7 Home Premium Clients.

SDP link deployment?

Unable to deploy critical patches
I have a VM set up to allow unapproved patches to be pushed out to it to test before deploying to the rest of the machines. The issue I'm currently having is all patches I push out to the virtual machine come back as Not Applicable. I thought the cause could be that I didn't have Internet Explorer 11 installed (It only have IE 8) and one of the patches was for IE 11, so I installed Internet Explorer 11 and then re-deployed the patch and still failed. Another patch I tried to deploy was one for Word

I am receiving an error "Desktop Central server should have access to reach the following domains to download patch related files in the following formats: .7z, .zip, .exe, .msi etc ."

Auto Patch Deployment
Hi I created an Auto Patch Deployment config to scan, download and deploy. But found that when the agent was installed on a new build , it would immediately start deploying patches and not just at the defined schedule time (DC Default Policy maybe ?) , which was not ideal when you are doing other setup\config work on the machine. So I modified the config to just scan. But have found that patches are still being deployed to newly installed machines immediately after the agent is installed. Is it best
Desired - Patch Approval Status "By Application"
Currently we have configured all updates as "approved", and only today I have added my first "declined" patches, for the Application "SharePoint". This seemed to be the only option available, whereas what I would like to do, is automatically approve all Microsoft application, "Except" SharePoint, leaving those as "manually approve" only. I don't want to have to manually approve every patch, for every application. Can you improve the approval status configuration, to allow users to choose the approval

managing different computers - getting started

So, given that I have a bunch of computer already out there with various software in various states of updatedness what is the best way to: A: Make sure all the computers have the agent installed. B:
