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
Agent Installation
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 ?
Problems With Remote Control
Good day, I just want to make several questions, since I have several problems with the remote connection tools. I have still more than half of computers running Windows XP and give me problems are: 1. When I try to connect to the remote connection tool gives me an error "Connection refused". And I do not show option to find what is wrong. I tried to send the log files, but are too big, above 24MB at .zip file and the page does not answer me when trying to upload these files. 2.

Getting logged out of ServiceDesk Plus after I installed Desktop Central
I just installed Desktop Central on the same server as our ServiceDesk Plus server. Using the latest version of both products. About every five minutes, I get logged out of SDP, but I remain logged in DC. Is this a bug or do I have something configured incorrectly? SDP uses port 8080 and DC uses 8020. Both use regular http. Thanks!
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?

File deployment

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
