Public Profile Lockdown
Hey everyone, I am trying to replace Windows Steady State with a combination of profile configurations using Desktop Central, so that the hard drive is not locked down and can take updates in admin mode without the additional steps of unlocking and locking steady state. Has anyone tried this? I am able to lock a majority of the functions on a public access computer account (PAC) and even moved the pagefile to a virtual hard drive but I can't think of what to do to restore the c drive to pre-patron
Connect Desktop Central agent to Desktop Central server over http/https
Does anyone know if it is possible to set up the Desktop Central agents to send updates to the server over the web via http/https? I want to integrate Desktop Central with Servicedesk but most of my laptops are in the field with little or no connectivity to VPN or the internal network. They are usually at a client location behind relatively strict firewalls with only connetivity to the web. I need to be able to have the agents connect where ever they are whether it be at home, Internet Cafe or
Growing list of "unapplied patches"
I have a workgroup of about a dozen computers. 11 Windows 7, 1 x XP. First problem... Desktop Central always has the configuration as in progress (which I see is expected for workgroups). The list of patches is growing. All patches are being shown as "Patch is already installed" or "Patch is not applicable..." Either way, they are never removed from the list of patches. When I do the next download and draft it redownloads all of the patches, and says that they all still need to be applied to

Desktop Central - Dual Monitors
Hi, we have a problem where we cannot view a second monitor on our machines with dual monitors. There appears to be no extra little button to switch between monitors at the top of the remote sesssion window, DC just recognises the primary monitor. This is the case whether we are connecting to a laptop with a monitor in dual display mode, or if we are connecting to a desktop pc with two connected monitors. I've taken a look at the Computer Details > Hardware > Monitor for several machines, and while

I have set up a scheduled "Automate Patch Deployment" job on a few desktops to download and deploy missing patches. It just downloaded and finished but nothing was installed. I tried the same job but only for my desktop and this is what I got in e-mail and no patches were installed again. Please help! What am I missing?

Anyone know how to fix the following problem? Desktop Central - Failed to start the desktop central service. Reason: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

Software Deployement
When You create a configuration with applications added to it. If after installation you remove one of the installed apps, will they get redeployed? If not is there an option to have the agent check if he misses an application and if so redeploy it? Thank you
When can we expect a Unified agent - Auto select distribution servers?
Are there any plans to build a smart unified agent that will aromatically select the closest distribution server? as the current distribution frameworks is really useless unless you only support desktop computers? EPO does this currently and it works fantastic, you only need to install one agent and it selects where to get its updates from depending on what subnet you are on / Ping times.. etc.... I would assume that the majority of companies using Desktop Central have a large laptop workforce
Remote control firewall
I am receiving an error that "firewall is enabled" when trying to remote control into some of our computers. When I turn off Windows Firewall, it works. Inventory scanning and configurations work fine. What ports/files need to be opened on the client side? Also- what agent is best for managing laptops in a VPN environment. We are not going to connect to them unless they have a inside address.
Pre-install script does not work
Trying to install MS Office 2010, using a pre-install sript to determine if it is already installed. Using script from MS which is for group policy deployment. It returns an %errorlevel% = 0 if it is installed and =1 if not. I set the pre-install script settings to continue install when a 1 is returned. This does not work, the install starts either way. I have modified the script to reverse the %errorlevel% returns as 0 is not installed and 1 is installed, and modified the settings for pre-install
Out of Disk Space
We have around 4000 computers that are managed. Hardware requirements are listed as 20GB for this number of managed computers. We are over 150GB of used storage and are out of space on our Desktop Central Server. How can we reduce space? All non-essential system files have been removed and 'old files' have been compressed using cleanmgr.exe.
Undo a configuration setting
I successfully used DC to deploy a configuration to a specific user to restrict changes to the desktop wallpaper. Unfortunately I did that before I changed the wallpaper. How to I re-enable the privilege for this user so I can reset the wallpaper? No problem in Admin, just in the restricted account.

Cannot connect to laptops through remote control
Hello! We have purchased new laptops for our library, which we installed the Desktop Central agent on. When we try to access any of the laptops through the Remote Control option on the server it gives us "Firewall is Enabled" error. The firewall is turned off on the laptop, so this doesn't make any sense. Also, we know the problem is not the server because we can remote control any of our other desktop machines. One other weird thing: we were able to apply configurations to the laptop and it

We need better support for 3rd party patches (non-Microsoft)
The Microsoft patching and associated bulletin information is pretty good but the same cannot be said for 3rd party application patches for Adobe and Mozilla. None of the bulletin ID links point to the URL on the vendor's site that describes the patch details. Clicking a bulletin link for Flash, for example, takes you to the Microsoft KB and an "article not found" page. Moreover, the names of the Adobe patches don't seem to jive with the latest vulnerability notes. Take the 08/19/2010 release
Windows 7
Has anyone been able to successfully test Desktop Central with Windows 7, yet? I'm in the process of doing now, and i'm running into issues with scanning the system for patches.

Uninstall software from Inventory Tab
When will the Uninstall software from Inventory Tab be added in to Desktop Central I saw someone else ask this questions over 2 years ago and the response was it is on the road map. How long does it take to bring something from the road map to production? I don't want to invest my companies money in a product that takes years to update. Thanks
Distribution Server determined by subnet
We have seperated all our branch sites onto different subnets. It would be great if we didn't have to manage the distribution point for each computer and could instruct the Agent to use a distribution point based on a subnet. Is this at all possible?
Malware Bytes and CCleaner
I have two powertools that I use consistently when I work on desktops: MalwareBytes and CCleaner. Has anyone been able to script these into Desktop Central to download to the desktop, install, run and clean specifically?
Desktop Central patchlist & MS Update dont match
I am trialing this software and I have observed that MS reports that there are updates available, but desktop central doesn't seem to see them; specifically Malicous software removal tool, windows defender updates and outlook junk email filter. I am new to the software, and I have read many of the KBs and FAQs, but couldn't seem to find a mention of this exact issue. Obviously I'd like to turn off auto update on all systems, so what am I missing? Thanks
Enhancement request for DC - .csv import into Config tasks and selecting machines for Config tasks from DC reports.
When creating configuration tasks for items such as deploying software, I typically will use DC reporting to identify machines that may need or already have a specific piece of software or change. Sometimes I will need to export DC reports to Excel in order to provide a more accurate report on machines that need a software or change. Possible Enhancment 1: I guess the general request here is better integration between the different modules of DC with deployment functions. It would be helpful to
