Brand new to Desktop Central
Afternoon Everyone! Okay, I am brand new to Desktop Central 8, and I am having a bit of trouble getting the Remote Control / Remote View to work on computers that are in our other offices outside of this network. I have no trouble at all using the software to connect to machines within the LAN (the agents were installed through the AD server using my AD admin account). One thing that I noticed is that whenever I create the agent for the remote offices, it is showing the IP address of the server

Desktop Central from Windows XP to Server 2012
I followed the instructions in the following video to move my Desktop Central install to a new server. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv6bTOlL1wc After following the directions, I was able to start up the admin console on the older server but I can't start it up for the new installation either from my desktop (http://serverip:8020) or locally (http://localhost:8020). The page says "This webpage has a redirect loop". I ran startDesktopCentral.bat and from the instructions it makes it sound like that's
DTC Agent
Hello All, I am new to Desktop Central and have taken over administrating it from a former employee. I have updated DTC to 80269 but I have noticed that the agent has not updated on the clients. Does the client automatically update or do I need to deploy the newer version to each client? I noticed that the previous admin had downloaded the agent for each site and put it in a common share. Then he created a GPO for each site to deploy the agent. Should I update the MSI for each site? Thanks, Liam
Can Desktop Central agent send inventory at login?
We are just getting our system set up, and I can't seem to find a way to get the agent to send an inventory when the user logs in. I can schedule an inventory, but all of our other tools, including Asset Explorer, send an inventory each time the user logs in if there is a change in the data. I cannot find any way to accomplish this with the Desktop Central client. Thanks! Dave

Patch Management Improvement
Hello, Can it be made possible to select only "Security Updates" to be downloaded and installed. At the moment Desktop Central requires a "severity" to be selected as well. This will cause issues with the applications running on our servers.
windows 8 crashing
We have a windows 8 machine which frequently crashes beyond repair. Only a fresh install is possible. Once the system is rebuilt and put on the network, the DTcentral client gets installed via GPO. It crashes again. There is a error at event viewer as Unable to rotate the log files in Desktop Central Secure USB Collection. Anyone come across this ?
Stagger Inventory Scan
Is there a way to stagger the inventory scan so that it occurs at different intervals on different OUs or groups? This would be beneficial to us because some of our machines are virtual and sharing processing power.
Software Inventory on Desktop Central (sorry this is in the wrong forum, i dont have a desktop central option to choose)

For instance i will see "SoftwareName" detected on most machines, but then the same software will be detected as "SoftwareName [Enterprise Edition]" and "SoftwareName [Express Edition].

Better alerting.
I would like to better monitor my network with Desktop Central. I have searched today and I am unable to find how I can get desktop central to send me an alert if a computer has been off-line more than a specified time. I did see the Power Management stuff but cannot get it to report what I am needing. Also I noticed that I am getting alerts such as when the Distribution has stopped but it will not send an alert to me or I can not customize it the way I need. If I am overlooking any of this please
Initial setup best practice
Hello, We recently purchased Desktop Central and i'm in the process of setting up our initial configuration. We have multiple sites in our organization. All are connected with fast WAN links, so we do not have the need for distribution servers at this time. For organization purposes, I'm looking to set up a Remote Office for all location and associating the location subnets. Is this the best method for setting up locations or is there a better way to logically group PCs for management and
Feature request/enhancement WOL & Patching
Hi Support, I was wondering if it is possible to add the wake on lan option to the Automate Patch Deployment. If we have computers to be patched and a user has switched them off, it would be good to have the option of waking the computers up before Scan systems, download and deploy missing patches. Kind Regards, Billy Greig
Get device location
It would be very useful for us if we could interrogate the device to get its current location/last known location - if it could then show it on a google map then even better, alternatively an api call to interrogate and return lat/long so we could then plot on goggle map. This would help locate lost/stolen phones
Using computer configuration - Shortcut
I am testing this configuration to place an icon on the desktop of all users for all computers in our domain. I've specified the target application both manually as well as clicking the browse button and navigating to it but it places a blank icon on the desktop that just points to the C:\ drive. I've also included the Start in Folder to no avail. The shortcut should point to a application on a network drive. Is this a known bug or am I not doing something right? We're on build 80268.

Does the file C:\Windows\System32\dclibxml2.dll belong to the DesktopCentral Agent service?
I am trying to work with our Antivirus Solution provider to resolve issues that we are experiencing with their product. So far they have blamed everything under the sun, including DesktopCentral deployment tasks as the culprit. They are inquiring about a specific file, I guess was in the crash log or something for their product.

Desktop Central Announces End Of Life for Old Patch Database!
Why this Announcement? Desktop Central’s Patch Management has significantly evolved in the last 2 years like introducing support for MS SQL, Mac Patch Management etc. These enhancements required a lot of internal changes in our Patch Database (DB) and have been maintaining several versions of the patch DB, so that the customers are not forced to migrate to any specific build. We are also planning to add a lot more features like patch uninstallation in the near future. It is extremely difficult
File Copy user variables
We're trying to setup a job to copy Microsoft office template files to C:/Users/userid/appdata/roaming/Microsoft/tempates and other similar folders. The default variable of "$userappdata" appears to go to Documents and Settings. With Windows 7 (and later) this doesn't work since the path is to "Users". I'm assuming this is the issue since the file copy isn't working. Is this a compatibility issue or is there a different variable or is there another way of doing this? Thanks

Feature request/enhancement: Manage DC Agent Settings by groups...
Hi, I would like to be able to have the DC Agent behave differently according to the different types of system on which it is installed. i.e. On office bound desktops I don't want users to interact with DC at all, so I don't want the agent tray icon to be displayed. However, for laptop users and servers, it would be more useful to have the agent tray icon displayed. Is this currently possible? If not then please add it as a feature request/enhancement for the product. Thanks, David.
