Reporting on Dynamic Groups Members
Hi, We have a bunch of dynamic groups, is there a way to see: Which dynamic groups a device is a member of or will be triggered against? Or is there a way to dump a report that shows devices and all the dynamic groups that device will be matched against?

Why is DC so bad at dealing with its server shutdown?
Why is DC so poorly coded to deal with its own shutdown? I have DC installed on a single Windows Server 2019 machine, which runs alongside some other server services e.g. a small mail server. On a standard installation of everything including DC, if I simply shut down the server normally on the machine restarting DC is left having to recover it's Postgre databases because they were not shut down cleanly. It can take 30minutes sometimes, yet a clean start is just a few minutes. It's the only service

Ways to test connections to Secure Gateway Server and Central Server?
Are there any convenient ways to test connections to Secure Gateway Server and UEMS (Desktop Central ) Central Server? What I am after is a URL approach such as a URL to https://servername.domain.name:8383/somepage.txt . Or TELNET open servername.domain.name 8383. Or anything else that is easy to arrange. I am trying to set up and debug Secure Gateway Sever, plus the firewall and NAT and access rules and so on. Without a simple way to test, this is difficult. Charlie Savage

Distribution Server - replication cycle finished with some failures
Hello, We have installed the 10.0.479 version of Desktop Central and this week we will update to 10.0.484. The issue is that we have "some failures" at the DS replication remarks. We have 8 Remote Offices, where 3 of them are good and we have at the "Remarks" field, the following message "Replication cycle finished successfully", but for the other 6 of them, we have another message "Replication cycle finished with some failures". We try to understand what means this remark "Replication cycle finished
Exclude usb device
Hi, We have set up policy to disable the USB devices on all of 500 PCs and it is working. Now we would like to exclude a usb drive for a user. We know that we can add the usb id to exclude tab of our current policy but this would mean that we have to run the policy again for all of the 500 PC's and each time we want to add more usb ID's we have to re-run the policy. is there other way to do this witout the need of running the policy again? Thanks

OS Deployment Disk size issues
Hello, I used OS Deployer in my past position, and it worked great for imaging machines, etc. When I first started using the tool, it had issues with drive size mismatching. which, almost made me stop vetting it and going to find another tool - Luckily, engineering introduced auto shrink, and I was able to image systems with smaller drives. Here I am 3 or 4 years later, and again, using the OS Deployer tool within Desktop Central.....again, I am hitting a wall with regards to imaging smaller drives.
Desktop Central/OS Deployment stops 1/2 way through imaging
I'm currently having a weird issue where I can PXE boot into the system with no issues. I can login and select the image I want to use (we currently have 3) and the install begins. But on all of them at around or just over the 1/2 mark the PC reboots. Once it is done the windows image is corrupted and it goes into an endless repair loop. The only thing that has changed that I am aware of is going from SP version 517 to 556, prior to that it was working with no issues.
Changing Java parameters
Hi, I would like to know, how you administrator can manage Java environment included in Desktop Central server engine? I understand that Java environment included in 10.0.515 is 1.8.0.192 x64, but what I can see that Java engine uses up to 2,5GB of RAM and can't go futher. Is there a way to change Java RAM usage to increase that limit? Thanks,
Computer list view.
Hello ! In older versions (eg 10.0.479), in the "Scope of Management -> computers" tab, computers were listed with small vertical spaces. In the new version (e.g. 10.0.555 and 10.0.581) these gaps got terribly long. Therefore, you cannot see all computers at once and you have to scroll the screen. Question. Is it possible to set smaller vertical spacing between computers? I'm sending two pictures, the old one and the new one, where the big gaps are clearly visible. Can it be reduced? Shrink? Thank
Dynamic groups based on AD container
We group our servers and workstations in Active Directory according to function, eg Servers Mail Servers Citrix Servers Workstaions IT Workstations Finance Workstations Laptops etc. It would be very useful to make dynamic groups from these OUs, when adding a server or workstation then the dynamic group would automatically pick it up for the correct deployments.
Custom Group Add List
I have no idea why this feature went away. But please dear little baby Jesus...bring it back. Being able to paste in a list of computers to create a custom group was great. It was fast. Easy. It's how I did most of my groups that span more than one OU in AD.

Unable to list the computers
Team, I'm not sure if this is for me only, but I find one problem in the new Create Group page. If I select 6 or more Domains/Workgroups in the Domain field; while creating a static group; I can see no computers listed in List tab of Available Computers. As I add the Domains/Workgroups, the list is populating until I click the 6th one. I tried in all possible combinations from the list of Domains/Workgroups and its the same -- as I add the 6th Domain/Workgroup, the List tab shows no computers. I
Remove computer from Desktop Central WITHOUT removing agent
Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to remove computer records from Desktop Central without it automatically uninstalling the agent when it next communicates? Basically, I want to remove all machines that haven't contacted the server in 60 days but for them to auto-repopulate if they do check in again. Withouth having the agent removed and then re-installed Is this possible?
Safe way to reboot Desktop Central Server
Hi, Could anyone give me the correct process for rebooting the Desktop Central server? I performed a standard server reboot last year which caused big issues with the DB. Support managed to resolve and said it was due to an unclean shutdown / reboot. However they failed to provide me with any info on how to avoid it happening again. Do a need to stop services in a particular order first? Is there a batch file within the Desktop Central program files? I need to reboot my server but don't want to risk

End of Support for macOS 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
Hi everyone, As you might already know, Apple has stopped supporting macOS 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) from 2014 and 2016 respectively. They no longer provide any security patches/updates. However, Desktop Central continues to support devices running on those operating systems at least till date. We are introducing new and advanced features and frameworks that are not compatible in macOS 10.7 (Lion) and macOS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) operating systems. These will be introduced in all Desktop
DesktopCentral and MSSQL on linux
As I understand DesktopCentral migration to MSSQL needs "SQL Browser" service but unfotunately MSSQL on linux does not support it. Is there some kind of workaround to get this setup working? Why does DesktopCentral needs "SQL Browser" anyway? ServiceDesk can be set up without "SQL Browser" service.

Notifications via the Mobile App?
It look like one of the more recent builds includes mobile app-based notifications? Is anyone using that functionality? I wanted to get some impressions on what notifications are available via the app (which IMO is sorely in need of functionality updates, it's pretty pitiful what you can do in the app vs the desktop interface).
Feature request: Mac encryption reboot behaviour
Hi, I have a problem patching macOS systems that are encrypted using FileVault 2 -- when the system reboots, it requires the user to be present to enter the password for filevault to unlock the disk. This means that automatic patching of encrypted macs is not possible, as they do not automatically start up again afterwards. However, it looks like it is possible to use an encryption bypass option when initiatting the reboot: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/fdesetup-authrestart-filevault-2s-one-time-encryption-bypass-feature/

Language of desktop central agent; all patch notices are english only ?
Hi, i am evaluating desktop central in germany with german-speaking end users. Some users unfortunately doesn't understand the english language, so this is a problem when the desktop central agent confronts them with english-only warnings or message boxes. - They don't know what the desktop agent "talks about". So i wonder if it is possible to get the end user messages e.g. the "desktop central patch update notification" with the "skip" and "start now" button completely translated to german ? Is
