Hi Guys & Gals, I have a software deployment policy created to deploy some Adobe software. The reboot policy is set to allow users to skip the reboot process.

Moving DC server between domains...
Hi, As a part of migrating a client from Windows SBS 2011 to Windows Server 2019, I am in the process of changing a company's DNS from non-routable (domain.local) to a routable name (domain.net), as per Microsoft's current best practices for domains. Do you guys have any guides of KB articles for the steps we would need to take to move a DC server from the old name space to the new one, please? Cheers, David.

Deploying Office 2019 but need Office 2016 removed first.
Office 2019 along with Visio & Project 2019 cannot be deployed if the 2016 or any prior versions of Office is still installed. Including the command <RemoveMSI /> or <RemoveMSI All="True" /> to the config.xml file as stated by Microsoft to remove the older versions during installation is there but it does not remove prior versions office/visio/project. What other means is there to upgrade the users to Office 2019 that successfully removes the older versions of Office?
Remote Session - Darken Screen
I'm curious if there is a way to change what the "Darken Screen" option actually shows when on a remote session. Often times a user will just think the computer is off or frozen so they'll attempt a hard shutdown of the computer. It'd be beneficial if we could change this to a splash image of our choosing. That way we can put a generic "Help Desk is currently remoted onto this computer" message to display on the screen with number for them to call if needed.
Android Bulk User Assignment via. EMM - Possible?
We're going to be deploying a few hundred phones with EMM (QR Code). We've tested the process, it seems to work fine. However, the one snag is that we have to assign each phone to the user manually. Luckily, these will all be assigned to a single, generic user account. Is there any way to automate this? Currently, as each phone is enrolled, the user would have to call into the IT Helpdesk and have the phone assigned. We've looked at bulk/CSV methods, but they don't seem to apply to EMM enrollment

How to exclude or block all further patches for 1 program?
I feel like this must be easy, but I'm having trouble finding it. We need to stop Desktop Central from pushing any patches out for a particular program, MySQL Connector Net. Can I do this and where? We have a test + approve group set up, and I can see a section to exclude specific programs from this (not sure if doing this just forgoes testing and pushes it anyway), but I don't see a place to exclude it in just general patch management. Thanks in advance!
Allow more database fields when creating dynamic custom groups
I think the functionality of custom groups would be significantly enhanced if you could select from more database fields. E.G. I would like to create a group where systems the system manufacturer is Dell and the installed version of a software is less than a specified value -- but unfortunately this does not seem to be possible. Thanks!

Query for Disposed Assets
I'm looking to have a query created that will send me a list of IT Assets (Workstations) that have been disposed of in the last 30 days. We've disabled the option that disposes IT Assets if they have been removed from Scope of Management in Desktop Central. When enabled it removes all ownership from the Asset and causes problems. But we still need to know when an asset is disposed of so we can remove it from Scope of Management manually. That's what the query will provide me.
