Patches pushed to computers, need report to reflect that.
Does anyone know of a report in DC7 where I can see what system received what patches on what date? Specifically I would like to see patches that were pushed out in the last day and to what systems they were installed. I poured through the logs to no avail and servers were patched when they should not have been, I need to have those boxes tested to verify proper operation..
Desktop Security Configuration not applying
Hello, I have two machines that auto login with their own user account. I created a security configuration in DC that is suppose to prohibit the users from altering, adding, deleting or editing items on the desktop. However, after having the agent apply the configuration manually and waiting for the 90 minute interval to refresh it seems the configuration has not applied. I set the config. to apply to those machines and those two users. I've added the DC agent as a security risk exception in Symantec
Desktop Central Hangs during Software Deployment Set up
Occaisonally during set up of a new or changing an existing deployment configuration, the Desktop Central site hangs, usually when either adding a package to the config, or when adding targets. Am running latest service pack and patches. Any assistance is appreciated.
Application deploy fails
Hi, When we try to install an application, for example Adobe Reader 9, if there is installed Adobe Reader X oin the destination computer, Desktop central warns that it's retrying the operation all the time and it doesn't install the requested program. I mean that if you try to install a program that is lower version than the other installed, the message is that is retrying and it warns an error with 12010 code. I hope you can help us! Regards!
Do Distribution Servers copy Network Share package for distribution at remote sites?
I am curious if the distribution servers would copy something like MS Office to itself for distribution to the remote clients? I would not want the remote cielnts trying to install the software from Main DC Server. If not... Only solution I see is setting up a Sofftware Library at each remote site and creating seperate packages for the same install, but with thier network paths for each remote site using the remote software library.

WmiPrvSE high CPU usage after agent install
I've rolled out the Manageengine Desktop Agent (v7.2.30) to several clients now, and each one of them is experiencing high CPU usage for the process WmiPrvSE.exe after the first restart. They are all Windows 7 Pro clients, and the 32-bit versions are getting CPU usage in the range 50%+, while my 64-bit client is experiencing constant 5%+ usage. Neither machine showed this sort of behaviour before rolling the agent out. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this (I've tried leaving the machines
Patch status 'Not Approved'
Why are some MS patches marked 'Not Approved' - this happens automatically, Is it becuase the application or need is not seen on the target client? What should I do with these 'Not Approved' patches ?

Suggestions for automatic patch management
Firstly, thanks to the DC team for the effort they have put into adding features into the product this year. Really good job! I have a suggestion that relates to the automatic patch process. I use DC to manage a number of laptops that are always on the move. This means that they are often never connected to the network when the auto-patch task is scheduled to run which means that the laptops take forever to be patched. What I think would be great is functionally that allows for auto-patch tasks
DC Log file format
Is it possible to create log files in a format that can be viewed with f.ex trace32 instead of i plain txt-format? I find the standard txt-file logs to be quite hard to view in notepad/wordpad as opposed to f.ex SCCM-log files that is easily viewed in trace32.

Adding additional domain controllers to credentials
Can we please have the option to add additional domain controllers when using "Edit Credentials" to modify a domain. The reason for this is I am testing upgrading the software to the latest version by cloning the live server into a test VMWare environment. The server is a domain controller, however is not the one specified in the "Edit Credentials". Because the network is disabled on this test machine I discovered you cannot login as the machine cannot contact the named DC to authenticate the user.
Software Metering rules

Software in the Inventory tab is missing!
After scanning several PC's, I had a list of 200 apps/software/drivers that were unidentified. I began by selecting the first 25, and moving their licence type from unidentifed to commercial. This than moved the software into the new category. But as soon as this was completed, I lost access to all the other software. When I look at the computer view within the inventory tab, I can see all the software listed. I can filter it by either commercial or unidentified successfully. But if I click

DC not sending workstation warranty info to SDP
We using DC build 70234 and SDP build 8015. I followed the instructions to integrate the two products together. In DC, I have linked to our SDP server, the API key was validated, and I checked the following features to integrate: IT Asset Data, Software Deployment, and Log Help Desk requests as alerts and tickets.

Must be an option to enforce configuration happening instantly
I feel it's much better to force the configuration happening instantly,without waiting for refresh interval or system restart , because it is not a good practice in some configurations like creating a new user on workgroup computer,since i can't be wasting time by restarting the policy affected computer just to create a new User and we all know that creating a user is that simple in WindowsXP and does not need even a minute.
Limit AD reports to specific OUs?
We are part of a larger company and only control a subset of all the OUs in AD. Is there a way to limit reports to just the OUs we control? We don't need to see users/computers for the entire organization--just our specific one. Thanks!
Distribution server and agent type
We have 20 branch offices connected to our central office via VPN. When deploying agents, do we need to deploy the WAN agents or the LAN agents? We would like to use the software distribution functionality of DC so we can push software to the distribution servers to save considerable bandwidth. In this situation, even though everything is still on the local network, I just wanted to see which agent I need to push. Thanks!

Firefox 6 Software Deployment
I'm trying to use Desktop Central to deploy Firefox 6 to a test machine. If I can get it to work I'll be using it to deploy to 100+ machines. However, I'm having a lot of difficulties getting it to install properly. I set up an installation package to a public folder on a server that everyone has access to and put the Firefox 6 Installer exe within. I also set up a configuration that uses a domain admin account just in case it ran into permission issues. It is deployed when it detects me sign into
DesktopCentral enhancement ideas
1.) Ability to scan Lenovo/IBM hardware warranty 2.) Ability to clone configurations with only "Successful" computers included. Right now we only have the option for none, failed, or all. 3.) Ability to make software prohibited but hidden from the user prompt when it is discovered. I like to add software to prohibited so I can easily track it when it gets uninstalled but I don't want the user to be prompted/notified. Thank you!

Is there a way to force a manual scan from a workstation from the acutal computer so it updates the information on the server? I have the agent taskbar icon hidden though so you cannot click on it there. Is there something I can run from command prompt to force a scan? Regards Matt

We have just purchased Desktop Central and I am trying to install the agent using SoM. I can only install one pc at a time. As soon as i try to import more than one pc at a time i get an agent install failure. "The network path was not found". I need to install on 5000 pcs and obviously cant do them one at a time. Has anyone seen this issue before ?
