MSP - Auto Software Deployment on new machines
Hello, Im evaluating the MSP version for a replacement of current management system. I want to create several deployment tasks that install standard applications to customers remote offices, and to have them remain active so that new machines that are deployed in the offices gets the same applications automatically. I took this ability for granted but it seems like the task only runs on the machines deployed at the given moment the task is submitted? Is this at all possible to achieve?

Stopping patch deployment over 3G networks
Is there a way to ensure that patches are not deployed if the target computer connects via a 3G aircard please ? I was about to deploy a number of patches to a machine, the user disconnected from the LAN and started up his wireless aircard (Sierre Wireless 360) and connected via a VPN. At this point the DC agent must have connected to the server and started the patch install. The patches were huge (one of them was XP SP3), fortunately I spotted what was happening and dropped the VPN and aircard

Storage of Software Repository
Hi there, We ran into an issue the other week where our Desktop Central server became overloaded and everything went down fairly hard. This is because the 2tb of storage we had set aside for Desktop Central and it's repositories became overloaded and filled the drive to the point where we only had a few kb left. To fix this, we purchased a dedicated NAS for storing the the various repositories. We've moved the repositories to the NAS and made the necessary changes to point the patches, updates, and

Background running process list
It would be helpful in diagnosing possible virus/trojan infections, if we could have an at-a-glance look at the currently running processes on the system. I don't see this as having to be real time, but accurate as of the last scan (since a scan can be implemented on any system at any time, not just based on a schedule). Real time metrics would take up to much bandwidth and processes.

Weird things happen when patching a PC
Kind of hard to explain but when we patch a PC with a patches it seems to steal the active window focus. As an example I patched a users PC today with the base configuration of doing it silently and not requiring a reboot. While the user was working he would continually have the focus taken off of his database window requiring him to click back on the database window to make it active. While I was at his desk it too the focus off the window minimum of 5 times.
Agent won't stay connected
On some of my Windows Server 2003 devices, the Desktop Central Agent keeps losing its connection to the Desktop Central Server. It does connect some of the time, so it's not an issue of the port being blocked. As far as I know, there are no other services trying to use the same port, either. Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? It's becoming a problem for patching. Thanks! -Chris

Changing "Registered To" field
Is there a way to change the Registered To field within Desktop Central. I suspect it get the name from the local admin account that is created during installation of the O/S. Some of my colleagues have used random names which are now appearing in DC and I would like to change them to something more meaningful.

Retrieving Information from Desktop Central from outside of the application
We have a proprietary help desk ticketing solution that we are not ready to replace yet. One of the features in the ticketing system was to pull inventory information of the computer in question. With the previous inventory product we used(Specops), we simply passed the computer name in the url to retrieve information. I know that with servicedesk it is possible, but in the absence of that, are there any options?

Patch Management not reporting operating system correctly.
We have today updated Desktop Central to build 70202 and watched the agent correctly update itself on our desktop machines. When I look at the inventory the operating system is correctly reported (see Inventory.jpg) If however I go to Patch Mgmt and select All Managed Systems the same machines are being reported as Windows Vista, however they really are Windows 7 Pro (see PatchMgmt.jpg). Running a new patch scan appears to fix this and the operating system then reports Windows 7 again.

Have checkdisk scan all disks.
Hi We recently lost power to our server farm and we wanted to use Desktop central to automate the checkdisk process. We found that there was no simple way of checking all disks on a server in one go, if I have missed it please let me know. We had to create a task for each server select the individual drive letter of the drive we wanted to check. Some of our servers vary in the amount of drives they have, such as C: D: and E:, and some have only a C:. Our citrix servers for example use U: and V:.
Does Desktop Central show when computers are online/offline?
I'm testing out Desktop Central 7 now (specifically the MSP edition), and I've only run into one signficant issue so far: I've installed one agent on a computer in a Remote Office. The agent installs without issue, remote control works pretty well, and overall things seem to work well. What's strange is that the Computer inventory, it always shows a user as being one of the "Logged On Users" no matter how long the machine has been offline. Does this ever get updated? Is there some other way to see

Question on DCService
We recently had to reinstall DesktopCentral due to some database corruption. Nothing too hard, and the process was relatively painless. I uninstalled the agent across the board, then recursively removed the standard install directory from all machines so I would be starting with a clean slate. Subsequently, and only on some machines, I'm seeing a WScript popup (started by dcservice) that is trying to run a non-existant .vbs script. Since the standard install directories were clean, where does
Unable to remote control machines with multiple IP addresses in different subnets - and now scan fails as well
We have discovered that it the target machine has multiple IP addresses in different subnets then the we are unable to remote control them. The patch and asset scan work fine to these machine, however the remote control fails with "The network path was not found" After testing we realised it only affects target clients that have virtual NIC's configured for different subnets. The machines with the problem were running either VMWare Workstation or Oracle VM Virtual Box which both create virtual
Thinking about replacing vb login script with Desktop Central configuration (anyone have any experience/currently do this)?
I currently use a vb login script (like I'm sure many folks do), to accomplish a variety of tasks during login. I know that Desktop Central can do some/all(?) of the items my script does but I'm wondering if anyone has current experience and can comment on any pitfalls. My current script: Maps a few network drives (one based on username, one depending on whether a person is a member of a specific AD group, the other a general everyone gets it drive).

Update Agent Systray settings
If you deploy the agent, then go back into the Admin interface and make changes to the Agent or the Agent Systray Icon behavior, is that automatically pushed out or does the agent poll the config routinely? What is the schedule for this? I see 'refresh period 90min' quite a bit under the patch deployment... is this the same refresh cycle?
Remote tool not working well for remote office computers
Hello, I have moved our MEDC server to a server at our main facility, and installed the distribution server at my facility. I followed the instructions to install the desktop client to several machines here where the distribution server is. Since that time it has been hard to connect or stay connected to machines. I am in the same building as these machines and in some cases on the same subnet. Is there an issue with the remote tool and clients listed under a remote office?
