Patch pushes going through when none are configured.
I have no active pushes, nor automatic pushes. A new server that has been added keeps displaying this message. Attached are 3 jpg's of the areas in question. Where would this be coming from. It has a custom message (maybe from the preceding project manager) and somehow it was stored as I have not been pushing updates to servers at all.

Status for some features?
Hello, sorry bad english. :) Can anyone give me a status report for some new features in MEDC (Manage Engine Desktop Central)? 1. The "deploy now" function for manual and auto patch deployment? Like the "apply now" tool. https://forums.manageengine.com/#Topic/49000003943485 The last post says: end of July. 2. Some more options for the scheduler? Deploy this configuration on the "second monday, third sunday, last monday..." Some of our customers need this option. "First" monday is not enough. 3. In
Applying multiple Adobat Acrobat patches at once.
Until I build a new workstation image the one I'm deploying right now requires multiple Adobat Acrobat 8 Standard patches be applied. With Desktop Central scanning it only reports the next 1 patch in the chain. Which means scan, patch, reboot, scan, patch, reboot, repeat.... If I manually add all the rest of the Acrobat 8 patches using the add more ooption, will Desktop Central install them all in a row in the correct order without issue in one install? edit: It looks like the answer is no the subsequent
Multiple License Keys For Same Product
I am starting to get my company moving toward management of our licenses under Desktop Central. One of the issues we have had is ordering single-license copies of various software. When I attempt to Manage Licenses and add a new license for a product already listed in the License list, it overwrites the existing entry. How do I go about listing multiple keys in one line item? Am I stuck using the Comments field?

Column width
How do I expand the width of the columns. For example in the software repository list and in the software inventory lists, I have software names that extend well past the width of the column. Unfortunately, many of these software titles start with the same name and end with a different name, but in the list they all look the same. Very frustrating.
DC Agent Installations using IP Range
When we first installed the agent via the server, we selected a domain or IP range for the push. Now, we want to use that method again to install the agent on PC's in the domain, or same IP range, that do not have the DC agent installed. My question is .... if we push to a domain or IP range, what will happen to the PC's that already have the agent? Will it ignore those machines, or install over the existing agent? Any insights are appreciated. Thanks.
Undo a configuration
Hi DC, I have a problem: I tested a "message box" type configuration, programming it to be run at each login on a specific machine. It works perfectly. My problem is that I deleted the configuration that created this message box and now that I create a new configuration that is supposed to undo all message box, it fails saying that there is no pop-up window programmed (but in fact, the window clearly appears at each login...). Is this normal or is it a bug? I do not know how to undo this now so any

Machine does not register
Hi, I have a machine which was first added to Desktop Central under a different name, eg. name1 and has now been renamed to name2. In SOM it would show up as name1 in the incorrect site location to where it really is. To try to rectify this I attempted to add the machine using its current name, the AD scan found the machine and when I selected it and pressed ok the result showed as added, when I looked for the machine it was not in the SOM list. The SOM list still showed the old name, name1, so I

Desktop Central Best Practices?
We have a mixture of older Pentium 4 computers and newer. I setup an patch deployment for 18:00 and specify our power management software to wake the machines at 19:00. The theory is to start the patch downloading and then when the computer wakes up, install the patches. On some machines, this works great. On other machines, the wakeup command does not get processed and therefore Desktop Central installs the patches when the user logs on. Just like it is supposed to. The issue comes with having to

Automatic patch deployment
A suggestion -- Regarding Reboot Policy -- I have it set to "allow the user to skip reboot". I made this change over a year ago. I used to have it set to force reboot, but I was getting a lot of reports of people losing work because they'd be in the middle of something, then walk away from their computer (and we all know users don't save work before they walk away), and DC would install updates/reboot. Anyway, if they opt to skip, DC pops up again every 5 to 10 minutes (not sure of the time interval,

Managing multiple contracts for software
Hello I encounter the following problem with the license management in Desktop Central: I have several servers on which Oracle is installed. DC detects multiple installations on the same product. My problem is that I have not one Oracle contract but different contracts (1 per server).

Manage licenses - Multiple license files?
We are beginning to use Desktop Central's Manage Licenses function to track our software within the corporation. I like the fact that I can attach a licensing file to the software, and I have been using this field to add an electronic version of the licensing certificate that we have been issued. The problem is that we have purchased multiple licenses for the same software at different times and have been issued multiple hard copy certificates. Is there a way that I can add multiple license files

Suggest change into Desktop Central
Good morning i suggest some changes into desktop central. 1. In SOM should be able to create groups to organize and catalog the computers by group. This would help to apply different settings and look so easy teams. 2. It should be possible to easily move a computer from a local to a remote office at the option of direct connection, this because sometimes there are users who move from place to place and support must change because it is not the same as this in a remote field office. 3. The remote
