Remote Control Issues
Hi All, Please help as I'm starting to get really annoyed with the Remote Control facility in Desktop Central. On connecting to machines, sometimes my mouse or keyboard will not work, so even though I can see the remote screen I can't select or type anything to it. Even pressing the CTRL+ALT+DEL button will at times not work. I've tried using Chrome and IE, both the ActiveX or java plugin options, but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong and has anyone else experienced similar issues? thanks

Be able to set the package installation order for a configuration
When creating a configuration with multiple packages it would be great if you could set the package installation order. Some applications require additional installs of addons and bit so setting the order would be great. Another example is we use a configuration for setting up new computers, the configuration contains the packages for all of the software that will be installed on the computer but some things need to be install before other things.

We use the Restart Now feature to restart specific PCs. Recently, all the PCs in our system are automatically checked when opening the Remote Shutdown windows. Happens in all browsers (IE, FF and Chrome). This selection crosses pages and it appears ALL PCS are selected. Is this some admin setting somewhere that we changed and can change back?

Software Deployment doesn't invoke Windows Restart Manager
We have an application that integrates with Windows Restart Manager (our client PCs are Windows 7 machines) to allow automatic shutdown and restart of the running application (and not the entire computer) when updates are installed. The installer is MSI-based and we usually install it with the command line "VVC_patient.msi /quiet /l log.txt" which correctly triggers Restart Manager to shut down the application and restart it (the new version) afterwards, completely silent and with no "files in use"
