How to utilize Dynamic Groups for Patch/Software Deployment?
I have created a few dynamic groups that have seperated our Windows 7 x86, Windows 7 x64, and Windows XP physical machines. I would like to be able to deploy patches (and software) to only the PCs listed in each of these dynamic groups (because a search of Windows 7 x86/64 also brings up several virtual machines that I do not want to patch). When doing patch deployment, I see that the staticly created custom groups are available for patching, but the dynamic groups are left off the list of available
Registry settings
HI Guys, Can you give some examples in your Configuring Registry Settings page please? It makes it easier to see the exact format required like backslashes etc. I am struggling with Sub-Key, Value Name and Value Data / Expression. Thanks
MSI Takes FOREVER when deploying via GPO
Agent version 33. (Latest). I created a Software Installation Policy for a OU that will push out the MSI. However, when the PCs are rebooted and it comes time to install the MSI before the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen, it takes about 20 minutes. Way longer that it should. I have all post installation tasks disabled in the Admin Console. From what I have read, the MSI file is the only file needed for a GPO Deployment. I have peeked in the GPO, and my server's IP address is indeed hardcoded in the MSI.
NSSendRequest has returned with error code is :10061
Any idea what "NSSendRequest has returned with error code is :10061" means? We've changed our SSL VPN and we're in the process of opening the required ports for the Desktop Central agent to communicate with the server. We've added every port we can think of but we're still receiving the above error when "applying configurations". Does this stand for something other than unable to contact the server?
Like: If File exists added to the create shortcut configuration
I'd like to see the ability to check for the existenance of a file, such as an installed application, before creating a shortcut on the desktop. In my case I have an application that is installed for a subset of users that are part of an OU in AD. I want to deploy a desktop shortcut for that app to only the users that have the app installed. I use the OU as the target for the configuration, but not everyone in the OU has the app installed. The configuration could do a check for the file or installed

Identify systems with administrator access
I have been asked to try to locate all the systems on the network, where users have administrator access to their computers. Our computers are not using local accounts, but domain accounts. I can individually tell if a user is listed within the local administrator group on their computer, by looking at the information within the inventory - but this does not seem to work with the reports. The reports are only showing me locally created users within the local Administrators group, but not any "domain"

Manage Engine agent on windows servers
Has anyone had any issues with manage engine's agent running and installing patches on windows servers (exchange, domain controller, etc)? We currently use Manage Engine agent for patching our desktops but are a little hesitant to install it on servers. Not sure if it is better to install patches on servers by hand or let the agent do it. Also when pushing out a new agent on upgrades I would hate for the agent install to cause the server to crash. Any thoughts or experiences would be helpful. Thank

Non domain clients
Hi there We run desktop central on our network. We have undertaken a major network project which has left us with 250 client machines without domain access althought they can connect to the network using wifi. Our question is, how can we manage these clients now that they are not part of the domain but are part of the network? Does this make sense? Many thanks Dale
User logon reports to include logon from unlocking screen
I am looking for the option to have a report of current user logins and a report of logon history from unlocking screens. The current reports only have logins from a user logging into a machine from restart or logoff and most users these days only lock their screens or wait for the screensaver to lock their screens so you do not get an accurate report of when someone used the terminals. This would be useful to have as an option or as another report as we like to track who is using the systems afterhours

Custom Software Groups
Hi there, Recently our installation of desktopcentral had an issue with the Apache services. We could not resolve the issue, so regrettably another team member reinstalled desktopcentral. I didn't mind this much, as it gave me a chance to familiarise with settings again. However, i cannot seem to find the create custom groups option for software. If i go to the Inventory tab and then look in the Actions/Settings pane to the left of the window, i do not have a Group Software link available. I'm

Installing DC clients over multiple Samba Domains
Hi, I'm managing about 16 remote sites each with around 10 - 30 client PC's on each. The domain controller is linux based and I don't have any windows servers available to host a Distribution server, so I'm using the 'Direct Communication' method.. Which is fine. I can install the agents fine and everything works well. My problem is that we are constantly adding and removing new and old machines to these various domains. So far I've found the easiest way to maintain them is to just add the entire
Patch Status Mis Reporting
Hi we're running DC Build 80029 and finding that it is reporting all local and remote clients as healthy, which would be fine if it were the case!!. We run ESET Anti Virus which gives an indication of endpoint security status by changing the system tray icon colour progressively between 'green' for maximum protection, and 'red' for danger. Multiple clients are showing orange, which indicates several Windows updates are missing.Of the clients showing orange, ESET identifies around 35 missing updates,
Searching for systems by Service Tag
Hi all, Now a days more and more computer manufacture supply their machines with an service tag number. Usually this is an unique number which makes it easier for us system administrators to find the right system when it comes to warranty’s and stuff. Now that we use Desktop Central I thought that this was an very easy way to search for your machines in DC8. But I’m afraid to say that I’m unable to find any system by Service Tag. Is this something that must yet be implemented or am I just looking
Flash Player not list in the installed applications at the system details
Hi, I installed Flash Player 11.3.300.265 ActiveX as a msi-Datei on the clients successfull.

So I think Desktop Central don't recognizes flash. Updating patch status or a reboot from the client don't help. Is this problem known? Have other this probelm? Thanks for help. RH
