Upgrade Desktop Central
Anyone know how to upgrade desktop central? When I download the update file it tells me to download I get this message.
Downloading PPM last few releases
I've run into a major issue downloading the latest released update/ppm file in a timely manner. This has happened with the last few releases I have downloaded. I thought I isolated the problem to the servers it's coming from. I have tested this with Multiple ISP's/Sites within my area. The problem is consistent between them (ISP or machine downloading the PPM). Previously the PPM file download links on the DesktopCentral website all pointed to Desktopcentral.com with the exception of the latest patch/link
Custom groups not showing
I created a few custom dynamic groups but when I go to create a configuration I choose CustomGroup but none of my custom groups are in there. Am I missing something? Thanks, Amanda

Desktop Central server not running
Desktop Central web page not loading. Can't even connect with a browser on the server itself. I have rebooted the server twice. MEDC is installed on Server 2016. Version is 10.0.0.479. Upgraded to that on 3/6/20. It's worth noting that the following March Windows updates were installed within the last few days: KB4541329, KB4540723, KB4540670, and KB8900830. I cannot start the Apache service. I get these errors in the event log: The Apache service named reported the following error: >>> (OS 10048)Only
Alert for status change
I would like to know if there is a way (in Desktop Central or a bolt on product) to send an alert when the status of a computer changes. Example: I would like to get an email\text when computer "steve" is online. Is that possible with Desktop Central?
High Paging File Utilization
We're monitoring our Desktop Central server and noticed that the paging file often fills up. It looks like it clears out a little after the server maintenance every week but it usually fills back up before the next maintenance. Our server (a VM) isn't even using all of the memory allocated to it and it won't let me set a larger custom paging file size. Can we turn off the paging file or is it needed to properly run Desktop Central?
Secure DC Processes
Hi, a process "Secure DC processees" is running under Task Manager. This process runs sometimes with the CPU usage of 52%, see attachment. I want to know what this process is, and what does it do? Thanks
Email URL configuration
Our Desktop Central Server URL is now desktopcentral.Domain.com, when an email alert gets generated the link inside to follow points to the server name https:// LocalServerName instead of the desktopcentral.Domain.COM, Where so I change that?
High CPU & memory usage of Desktop Central agent
Hi, I just updated to build 10.0.475 from 10.0.450 last week, and some of the DC agent installed servers and PC facing high CPU and memory usage. I just checked that there is a 10.0.476 update today and also updated. The issue still exists. Seems that the DCFAUser.exe has some issue and make lots of "handles" to CPU. Best regards, Starry Ho

Stuck on 'validating image creator components'

Desktop Central 10
So everyone knows, there seems to be a HUGE virtual memory leak in the Desktop Central 10 Windows agent 10.0.466.W. I installed this for evaluation 2 months ago, everything seemed great except I started getting issues with users almost daily having issues accessing my domain controllers and file servers (these were the servers I was administering with DC) I would have to reboot them every morning just to allow people to log in and then usually within a few hours the issue would be back. I chased

In my office environment there are hundreds of Windows computers that are running itself (without human intervention) which allow auto reboot after Windows patch deployed, I wonder if I can setup an email notification when a machine has been finished rebooting (both manual reboot or auto reboot).

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.

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!

OS Deployment and Surface Pro 7
Has anyone experienced an issue with capturing images on a Surface Pro 7? Desktop Central is installing the image creator components but the component doesn't seem to be reporting the partition information. IN addition the OS Depolyment WinPE environment doesn't start when booting to a USB drive...this is happening on multiple Surface Pro 7 devices, but not on any other model of PC we are using, including older Surface Pro models. Any help and advice is appreciated.
Unable to deploy images to Sk Hynix SSD NVMe drives
Dell is using Sk Hynix drives in several models now and we are unable to boot to deploy images as it does not detect these drives. I have tried everything to get the drivers (Dell does not provide them) but no combination of disk/storage drivers will allow the USB Boot drive to see the drives. I can boot from a Windows 10 ISO with no problems. The Desktop Central ISO and USB boot media has no luck. I have even added every driver available on our Desktop Central server with no luck.

Desktop Central Assets Not Showing in Service Desk
We're trying to use Custom Actions - Install\Uninstall Software and when we try to find the Workstation in the drop down it doesn't show. We have Desktop Central and it's agents are installed. The machine in question shows in DC and we have our Integration settings set-up. However some PCs are not pulling into SD. Is there a way to force the assets over manually and where can we look to see what might be failing? On prem SD (11010) and DC (442). Thanks for any advice.
Desktop Central Mobile app Unable to Reach Server
Hi everyone, I am curious if anyone can point me in the direction of what to look at for a issue with the mobile app. I am playing around with desktop central and I can not get the mobile app to connect to the DC server. Ports 443,8443,8031,8027 are all open. I can access it via the internet through the web address listed under admin-global settings-mobile app and it works just fine with everything working. I at first thought it was because I running through the Forwarding server so I removed it

Finding %Java% installs across domain of hosts
I need to know how to query for the installation of Java across our domain. Not a specific version, but something like %Java% so that it would find everything Java or Oracle and then list every host that has it installed. I don't necessarily need to know what version of Java is installed though that would be a nice benefit, to be honest. I've never used this tool and was given access to it today, however, only because nobody else really knows how to use it either. I was assuming that this would be
Bind DesktopCentral to IP/FQDN
I am attempting to bind the DesktopCentral server to a specific IP/FQDN without success. I'm able to successfully bind to a specific IP on the host server, however I'm then unable to access DesktopCentral via the FQDN. I would like to run DesktopCentral as well as ADAuditPlus on the same server with both using port 443 for web console access, but until I can get this resolved I'm stuck. I was able to do this with ServiceDesk Plus and there are instructions to do the same for ADAudit and ADSelf-Service
Patching Openshift 3.11 node
Hello, We have been using for Desktop central to manage our Linux patching strategy. Recently we have added an openshift cluster (13 nodes) in our environment, but in order to deploy the patches, it's required to run a shell command to prune the node before the patching and another one after to reschedule the node. https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/upgrading/os_upgrades.html is there a way to instruct Desktop Central to run a shell command (before and after) deploying the patches
