Mapped Drive Configurations
I have configurations for drive mappings based on group membership. I will find that if I new users I have to re-deploy the configuration in order for the server to recognize that the new user should have the particular drives. Additionally, once I log off and back on, the drives are gone in spite of the fact that I have explicitly selected that the configuration is run at every login AND not to erase existing mappings before running the command.

Agent Setting - Enable Firewall Settings
When looking at the configuration settings for the Agent in DC6, it has the option to Enable Firewall Settings. In the popup balloon is specifies four things that will be set if you enable this: 1) Enabling Remote Administration 2) Enabling DCOM 3) Adding File and Printer Sharing to the Exceptions 4) Enabling Simple File Sharing in Windows XP The only problem that I have is #4. Why does DC6 need to enable this? Almost all of our machines (in a Domain and Active Directory environment) are set to uncheck
Network Browse Window Size Issue
Whenever the Network Browse window opens (picture attached) the window is undersized just enough to cut off the slider bar on the right side of the window. You have to scroll over from the bottom to be able to see it. You are also not able to resize the window. Would be very nice to be able to adjust the window size as well as being able to type the path of the target computer to speed browsing to the machine you want instead of having to scroll through several hundred computers. Thx! Richard
Active Directory Disabled Computers/Objects
We use Active Directory. I have noticed that when you go into Select Computers from Scope of Management (which it would be great if it spelled that out instead of SoM) that it shows all computers in AD no matter if they are disabled or not. We have several objects/computers that are disabled. Would be beneficial to have them at least be noted somehow in that screen if they are disabled. Otherwise I find that I am trying to push patches or software updates or Agents to machines that are disabled in

Desktop Central Server Will not Start
The other day I went to go access the DC and it told me the database had stopped. I went onto the server (running Windows Vista Business x86) and found the error below in the event log, and the service will no longer start. It appears the DB is corrupted, how can I restore from one of my older backups? Below is a log entry that I found today on my DC server (running SP3). The system has not been touched or logged into for a week now, so I am not sure why or how this has happened. Please let me know

Dynamic Variables
I created a registry configuration to modify the "RegisteredOwner" and "RegisteredOrganization" values in the registry. In order to ensure that the RegisteredOwner values are setup correctly, I used the dynamic variable $DomainUserName that I selected from a list of available variables during configuration setup. The configuration appeared to be working for the first few days. Now I find that the dynamic variable is returning the value "SYSTEM" for $DomainUserName instead of the username of the person

Post XPsp3+IE7 patches not downloading
Romanus, Let me start off by saying that the new native service pack deployment menu is a nice feature to have in DC and works flawlessly. But, after upgrading my test machines to sp3 and IE7, there are about 30-40 more critical Windows Updates that need to be installed. DC will not download the necessary updates to the patch db automatically nor when I try a manual download. The configuration for the download sits and spins its wheels. I feel much progress has been made up to this point but I do

MAC OS X Support Needed
It's finally here. MAC's are making there way into our Corporate Environment and it feels like I'm back 10+ years for managing the desktop. Back to putting the app on a share or sneaker network. Besides what Apple offers there isn't anything else out there (unless you have a suggestion.) It would be a bombshell if you guys did the same for MAC's as you do for Windows. Is there any discussions or plans that Desktop Central will be supporting MACs soon? Regards Andrew

Unstall VNC
Having little trouble uninstalling VNC. I have followed the directions from the deployment guide but keep getting the following message: path not found. Now I know for installs I have to have the package on a network share but the VNC was not installed that way. Do I need to copy the uninst000.exe to a network share than use the command line switches?
Reboot Messages
Would be very nice to be able to change the Reboot Message permantly instead of using the default Desktop Central message each time. Would also be nice to be able to create several "Canned" messages that you could pick from. I customize my message each time to let them know if they have questions who to call and a number...this way they don't think it's just a fluke from Internet Explorer or something and ignore it. Thx! Richard

WOL Issues Revisited and Blanks MACs and Incorrect Inventory
3 Different issues so far. 1. WOL functionality is intermittent. MAC addresses do not populate in WOL even though they appear in the hardware tab. Single WOL request targetted at that machine only does work but when the machine is part of a large WOL request it fails. Mutiple machine on same switch (example 5 machines) only 2 wake up. 2. MACs in WOL show blank but are populated in hardware inventory. 3. Software inventory not updating after patching. For example: Software inventory on machine's show

I have check to install patch after reboot. Not both boxes, but yet I get this message. Why would it say OR in 90 minutes refresh policy. When I didn't check all above and only check after reboot?

PC Redundancy/Duplicates in Inventory
Is there a way to automatically search for redundant computers by mac address or computer name? We have a situation where our desktop image is built with the Desktop Central agent installed (so it's there when deploying PCs). These PCs automatically report to the DC server and get added to DC inventory before they're added to the domain. They when the get added to domain, they report again creating a duplicate inventory entry. Is there a utility or option to filter duplicates out? Perhaps by serial
