IE Patch Release Inetcpl.cpl error
Good Morning, We released through Desktop Central the IE patch from blletin MS14-021 last night and about 5-10 machines so far this morning can't use IE. They are all getting the attached error regarding inetcpl.cpl and we are having to roll them back. Again, only 5-10 but more might pop up. Any ideas?? This was definitely the patch that caused this.

Desktop Central Custom Group / Dynamic By IP range
Good Afternoon, I was wondering if it has been considered the creation of Custom Groups based on IP range. For example I very often setup a functino of groups as a /24. Or we assign resources doing function X to 4 diffrent Class 24s. I would think from a custom layout you would want to to have the option of 1.) CIDR 2.) Range 3.) List Most likely with a later or considered report function around the same catagory. Thanks!

Java 7 Update 55 Template
Java 7 Update 55 was released on April 15th, 2014. Is there a timeline available when it will be added to the Software Deployment repository? I have an application that won't run because of the way java expires previous versions. most of them I can deploy a custom java config to the machines so it doesn't check for expiration, but this app loads a new applet with every update that checks for the current version. Thank you, Kevin

Hi, I am new to DC, so I may be asking a question with an obvious answer. I have created several custom Configurations for when I add a new computer to our domain - from installing a network printer to installing Office.

Software Already Installed Error - Possible to filter?
Hi, I am locking down Java on the network. Creating an approved Java users security group. I want to have one config that installs the latest x86 and x64 update of Java to all computers in the security group.

Ability to add a configuration within a software deployment
Hi, Is it possible that the development team of DesktopCentral add the ability to add a configuration within a software deployment? This would add the usefull ability to, for example, add or remove a shortcut after installing a software (that does not support advanced install parameters).

The most important thing is to deploy some configurations right after the software has been installed (if successfull) without needing to control that every computers

Best practice for overnight patching using WoL
Hi, I've always previously relied on emailing batches of users asking them to leave their PC's on one night for a preset configuration to fire off and patch up their PC's. I'm sure you can imagine the percentage of people that actually remember! Anyway, what I've done instead is go round to each PC and enable Wake on LAN so I can wake them up in the evenings and fire off a patch configuration, now, what I would like to do is set all this up to be done automatically so I've divided the company up

Some machines not receiving Software Packages
Hey, I have been going over some of the software deployments we have active and I have been noticing that there seems to be certain computers that will just not receive a software deployment. The status shows "Yet to Apply". Some of these software deployments have been active for weeks, so it isn't that the PC hasn't been rebooted or that the policy refresh hasn't occured. We have several active software deployments and these machines seem to show up in each of them. Not in all cases, but in a few.
