Remote shutdown - adjust machine list automatically based on domain
It would be useful to be able to schedule remote shutdown by domain. For example, in patch management, you can just select the domain, and the included machine list automatically changes based on the scope of management as machines are added or removed. Similar functionality would be useful with scheduled remote shutdown so that you could select one or more domains and then exclude specific machines if necessary. Right now I have to add new machines to the list and remove old ones manually or delete
Report of systems without software installed
Is it possible to create a report to list systems WITHOUT specific software installed? When I try this using 'not like', it simply lists every audited software item that does not match (dozens per system) - vs only systems that don't have that specific software product installed.

Migrating from one SQL server to another
I couldn't find information on how to migrate from one MSSQL server to another. I was tasked with moving the server along with the MESD server to a new host and MSSQL server. I tried ollowing the migration instructions: http://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/using-mssql-database-how-to.html#migration There was no option that allows me to migrate the data as described in the instructions. I have tried to use the backup/restore GUI app from the command prompt to see if I can backup

HP warranty lookup not working on 80279
I've found that after updating to version 80279, the HP warranty lookup is still not working (despite being in the release notes). This is because the agent is not gathering the HP part number, only the service tag. Both are needed to query the warranty. If I manually enter the part number, it works fine after refreshing the page. I have rescanned HP computers with the current agent version and this data is not being picked up. It can be obtained via command line with the following command: wmic

Office 2010 Deployment - This update package could not be opened
I am attempting to deploy Office 2010 from a network share with Desktop Central. I have had success in the past doing so, but it seems like lately any time I try, I get a failure. Tried with the client's Windows firewall on and off, and there's no third party AV or firewall installed yet. I have ensured the Admin$ share is enabled, file and print sharing is turned on, and so on. Both sets of fixes from these two files have been applied as well: http://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/enableFirewallSettings.txt

Problems display missing patches
Hello, after the update from build 260 to 279 the missing patches are not displayed correctly. In the menu item: "Patch Mgmt" -> "All Patches" the slider "Missing Patches" display "6" in brackets, but in the "Patch View" no patches are displayed. The same in the "Computer View". Only when I use the "Detailed View" all missing patches are displayed. Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. Greetings Ulrich Steuter
Us a template for Automatic Updates
Is it possible to use a patch template with automatic updates? For example, I need to perform automatic updates on a particular Remote Office and Domain and deploy the patches provided: 1. during 90 minute refresh (or at startup - which ever I select) 2. Allow user to skip deployment 3. Allow user to skip reboot 4. Display a custom reboot message. I can do all these for software but not automatic patch deployments. Am I missing something or can this feature set be added in future
Chat - can't select machine when user is logged into more than one computer
When I use the chat tool, for some users, I can view a dropdown list of machines they are logged into and select the machine I want to connect to. For other users, I can view a partial dropdown without any machines listed. There doesn't seem to be any pattern. For most users, I can view the machine dropdown, but this is a problem if I am remote controlling one of the machines they are logged into, and I need to communicate with them.

Custom script removed from deployment list - still being run by clients
I downloaded the Disable Flash Autoupdate script from the forum. The first version caused an error in 32 bit machines, and an error message popped up at login since I set the script to run at each login. The revised script works fine, but although I have deleted the original script from the custom script deployment task list, the clients still run it. Shouldn't the agent be updating with the current list of scripts to be run or no longer run?
