Desktop Central port use (Patching, Remote Controle, Remote File Sharing)
Hye people off the forum, I found some good information that can be useful to some people. Currently I'm experimenting with Desktop Central in a small test environment. I have tested some patch functions, Remote Control en scan/inventory off PC. Everything has worked when adding some ports to the firewall rules. But the Remote Control keep failing. On the GUI web-interface it sayd: "Please wait...Establishing remote control connection on -'computer name' ". On the target PC you get something like:
Run Check Disk on a schedule
I was wondering is there an easy way to run a check disk on all pc. I would like to schedule at a check disk to run once a month on our pc. Can I have this command run in the background of a pc at scheduled times? I looked in the configuration and didnt see anything to schedule a command to run silently.
Make a Configuration run continuously?
Hi, I have set up a configuration but it doesnt seem to run the way it should. Here is what I did. I went to Admin \ Custom group \ Create New \ "Dynamic" The I selected "Software name" - "not equal" - "7-Zip 15.14 (x64 edition)" So now I have a dynamic group set with all pc's that dont have 7zip. I checked and this does update itself. Then I create a configuration, then I select "Apply to Specific Target" and pick "Dynamic custom group" and pick my 7zip group I made above. When I deploy this it
Is there a way to do multiple file copies in a collection?
I have a process that requires two different file copies to two different file locations in one collection, but a collection only lets you set one destination for a file or group of files. So I'm looking to find out...is there a way to do two different sets of file copies in one collection? Since you're just checking a box, I'm guessing not.
Yet another define target problem
After updating to Version 91122, in the "define target enhancement", I can't find any option to insert a comma separated list with computer targets. The previous version allowed to paste a list into the target field. Now I have to select those 100+ targets from a drop down list. Did I overlook something, or is this option really gone?
Java install failing
Recently I have been given the responsibility to handle all of the Java updates in our organization because the admin that was doing them in the past is no longer with us. I remember that he has had issues installing/updating Java with Desktop Central in the past but I don't know if he was ever able to resolve them. An issue I ran into was when trying to install a 32 bit version of Java (Java 8 u73) on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine the install/update would fail. This does not happen with the 32bit version

Detailed list of Disk Cleanup, and able to use it as a Configuration?
Is there a detailed list of descriptions of the Disk Cleanup items? I see "old chkdsk files", but is that a raw "*.chk" anywhere on the drive, or the checkbox option on cleanupmgr? Same goes for Service Pack Cleanup and Windows Update Cleanup. It isn't particularly clear what those do - is either a dism cleanup command? For that matter, does that simply invoke cleanupmgr, or does it run it's own thing? Many of the machines I support don't have cleanupmgr installed. Lastly, is there a way to use

Roaming WAN Agents - how do they update distribution server information?
Can someone please clarify for me how it is that a WAN agent changes the distribution server it receives content from? From the documentation it states in a few places that the Agent will be installed from the Distribution server if it senses an IP Subnet change? what I am understanding from that is that the DC Agent gets fully installed at each different location the user visits? Or does the agent just update some configuration files that contain the new Distribution server settings? My
any plans to change how Script deployment is handled?
Currently a connection of some sort is required to deploy certain types of scrips using DTC. This could be a logged in user or a active RDP session. In an environment ruled by end user desktop/laptops that seems fine however in an environment comprised of only servers where there should be minimal direct log ins that makes that particular module rather useless. We hit up support and were told this was just the way it was. Are there plans to change how scripts are run in order to accommodate not directly
Environment Variable
I'm trying to get Desktop Central to set a User Path Environment Variable based on the current log on server.

Removing Distribution Servers
Hello, I have 5 Distribution Servers configured in my Desktop Central environment. Since several of my remote offices are very small I would like to remove the Distribution server in those offices and have them communicate with the local office over our MPLS. Do I just simply just remove the remote office and the IP scope which is configured? Will the agents automatically start using the local office as their point of contact?
