Distribution Server
We have today just reinstalled our Distribution Servers on our Remote Offices so that they are installed onto the D:\ however we're having the following issue now : Replication does not seem to be working on any of the servers so the repositories are not populating. The main server continues to download the patch/software package but this isn't being replicated out. Any reason why this would happen when simply reinstalling the Distribution Server Service to the D:\? Thanks Matt
After software deployment, the packet for execute the program is removed...
Hi, Yesterday we created a new software deployment packet. After, we tried to deploy this software but we had a problem: The packet in question is the program LaboDis. As soon as it is deployed, when we execute this program in PC, it has to find a msi packet in this path (C:\Program Files\DesktopCentral_Agent\swrepository\1\swuploads) and we have seen that it's removed, so the program cannot execute. It seems that the deployment is well done but then it erase the packet wich is necesary to execute

Any help on this
Trouble with modifying software licenses
We've recently begun to try to do a software inventory and get away from keeping track of licenses by using paper and binders. As we began to enter what we have on paper into the system so we could scan the computers and compare we quickly realized that we were unable to modify the licenses we'd already entered. Each time we click on "edit license" it shows the screen to enter an entirely new license. So far the only "fixes" we've been offered is to keep updating to the latest build....which is not

Problem with feeding custom data for computers
Hi, Yesterday, I inserted custom data for computers with "Feed custom data for computers" tool, but today, I have saw that it didn't change in all the computers. Now, I have done the same and now it's all right. It is possible that the problem were the turned off computers. Shouldn't update this information when the computers are going to turned on? Or when we work with "Feed custom data for computers" does it only works with computers that are turned on? Regards,

Approve Status sometimes 'Not Approved'
Hi I am fairly new to using Desktop Central and I am seeing something that is potentially a bit odd. Our Desktop Central is set to automatically scan, download and apply updates, however a few machines seem to need updates which are marked as having an approve status of 'Not Approved' - what causes these to appear as not approved and why do they need to be pushed manually.
Continuous Redeployment of Configurations
I would like to set up continuous redeployment of configurations, but it seems that once a configuration has been executed, you have to modify it, then redeploy it. My end result is, I would like to deploy a shortcut to a certain group of users' desktops. If one of them should delete it, I would like for the shortcut to automatically reappear again. The same with software installs, if I have to reimage a computer, I would like to have all previously executed configurations redeploy automatically
Updating apache in Desktop Central
Hello, Seeing as Desktop Central runs using Apache, what would be the best way for me to update it to the newer release 2.2.20 or greater without breaking Desktop Central? The security team at my company wants me to bring the version of Apache up to version of 2.2.20 or later in order to address some security issues with older version of Apache. Failure to do so will result in the machine being blocked n the network. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Gary

Complete Port List
Hello, I'm looking for a complete list of TCP ports I need to have open on the CLIENT (not server) firewall when the agent is installed on the Local Network (not remote). The initial install goes though, but no communication is functioning afterwards. ie. An inventory scan generated from the Server Console times out. Configuration changes (patch installation) are never picked up. Separately, I am also looking for a complete TCP port list for my REMOTE CLIENT's (not server) firewall as well.
