Does patch deploy and configuration works in workgroup?
Hi, I test DC6 in workgroup environment (several win xp pro). DC6 is installed on one of the win xp pro computers. I scanned computers and successfully installed agents. I created some user/computer configuration and also one patch deploy. All configuration are in "Ready To Execute" state, after many log-off / login and restarts. Does patch deploy and configurations works in workgroup environment? -brauner

confusing information at "Patch Summary - All Patches&
Hi, When I look at "Patch Summary - All Patches" list, I see many critical patch's that are so called missing, but it seems to be old patch files that were replaced by new one. see for example the attach picture, see lines: MS03-011, MS06-051, MS06-046. The list is confusing, I don't think I need to see old patch that are not relevant any more. -brauner

Patch Vulnerability Scans
I was wondering something. This product is by far the best product for managing a windows domain. Anyways, When I run a patch scan and it is telling me that patches are missing, how come my WSUS 3.0 server reads 100% for all my systems but DC5 tells me I am still vulnerable? Daniel Saucier

System Tools don't work
We are using Desktop Central and are finally getting around to set up some maintenance. We can not get any of the System Tools to work. I have only been trying for the last 4 hours, and have been having the software run the programs (Defrag, Check Disk, and Cleanup) at a scheduled time a few minutes after I finish setting up the scheduled task, or I have been running them on startup, or login. None of them seem to work. I have left the clients idle for a few hours to make sure they had time to run.

Inventory Fails to scan
I have an XP desktop running in a domained environment with DC 5 loaded on it. I puched the agent to nine other computers on the domain. I then went to inventory to scan the machines. They all fail except for my machine. Five of the machines did not get the agent so I understand why they don't inventory but WHY don't the other 4 inventory? I can remote connect to them with the remote option. They are Windows 2000 or XP machines. John MCCLun

Sort Execution Status
We would like the capability to sort the Execution Status Reports of applications that we push. In other words, we would like to sort the results by clicking on each of the column headers. Also, if we modify a configuration that has been deployed, we lose the history of successful and failed installs. How can we be able to view all previous results from a configuration? macintel

Is there a need for a Domain Controller or not?
Hi guys! I'm new to this tool. I have a simple question about Desktop Central. Is it necessary to have a domain (+controller) to use this tool? Or is it perfectly possible to run it on a normal workgroup? Because at home I have 3 Desktops and 1 Laptop and it should be very handy to use the capabilities what Desktop Central has to offer...
SoM by IP
Is it possible to have future editions of Desktop Central to manage scopes by IP ranges? It would make it much easier to specifiy a range of IPs for to push out agent installation rather than dealing with computer names. macintel
How do I remove inactive users and computers
My system showes 499 users, while we have only c 215. there are old users no longer logging onto our domain - how do I remove them? I also have computers which are no longer part of our domain - do these come off when I do a domain scan? What about if I change the name of a computer form say Harry to Bob. Will this change show up in Desktop Central? thanks John

Bug: Inventory Filter Selection Dropdown Behaviour
The Filter Selection Dropdown changes back to "All" from "Unidentified" when you assign Software Type or Category. Pete Wason
Suggestion/Update/Question
Suggestion: Individual Software Inventory Items should have an "Info" or "Comments" field for notes about the particular package. Update: Since applying sp11, I can now inventory (!), except on a few machines which are obviously not configured correctly. Question: Why is it that a product like iQNetScan (from iQuate) can do approximately the same thing as DesktopCentral without using any agents? It costs almost the same as DC, BTW. Pete Wason
