Desktop Central error after update 70127
After I did the last update for the build #70127, all graphs and counters are messed up. For instance: inside any configurations previously (or even a new one) saved, the graph summary indicates 1 Success, but the list below shows me a lot "succeded" in Status. I think this is related to a bug during the updating, as if the DB wasn´t closed properly. How could I solve this ASAP? Any report I generate is wrong, for old or new configurations. Tks, Fernando Peres - Digisystem
Manage Licenses
Does anyone know why SnagIT version 10 does not show up on the product list when I try to add the license information for this software to Desktop Central? When I go into the software inventory, I can find the installed software without issue, so why is it not listed on the product list? All the other versions of SnagIT we have installed are listed. I added an attachment so you can see what I see when trying to add it to the licenses. Thanks.

Keeping the Desktop Central folder a manageable size
Hello, we are running Desktop Central on a VM. We have not allocated much disk space to the install. I've noticed that DTC saves info in the DesktopCentral_Server folder that takes up a large amount of disk space. Particularly the 'PatchBackup' folder. The 'Patch' folder is also several hundred megabytes and appears to just contain folders holding data for that particular patch. Can this info be safely deleted? I know I could back it up to another server or drive, but it takes a while to copy

Discrepency between Patch Management and Microsoft Update

Why the 'The network is not present or not started' message isn't appropriate in a specific situation?
Hi, I tried to copy a folder in a domain environment to several PCs' C:\Program Files folder, but received the above error message in Desktop Central about Win7 machines (on XPs was all fine). I tried everything about network and firewall without success. Checked the Workstation service status as well as it was suggested by Help. It was all OK, but the copying still not working. I thought it could be some kind of permission related issue. The domain user I used to log in was member of domain admins

Prior Version Download
I need to download the last version, prior to the latest hotfix. I think the build was 70108. I had my server die on me and all of my backups of data are from this version. I cannot find my executable for the prior version and anything I download now, tells me that my DB version is not compatible when I try to restore my DB. Is there somewhere I can download prior versions so I can restore my DB then update to the latest after a restore? Thanks, Kevin

Deploying software issue.
Hello, I use the Desktop Central 7 central on a small network I manage remotely. Recently I've been running into a weird issue when deploying software.

Hello there, I have a quick question as regarding the Polling Interval on my Remote Office WAN clients. I need to reduce this value from 2 Minutes to 1 Minute due to Remote Controll issues.

How to update Distribution Servers and agents in remote office?
I've patched my DC server several times since it was first installed, and I've even reinstalled my Distribution Servers a couple of times after some of the patches. However, it doesn't seem like the agents on computers in Remote Offices are being updated. The agents on the computers in the local office (same subnet as the DC server) are being updated though. I was under the impression that the remote agents would automatically update to the latest version when the Desktop Central server was updated...

Growing list of "unapplied patches"
I have a workgroup of about a dozen computers. 11 Windows 7, 1 x XP. First problem... Desktop Central always has the configuration as in progress (which I see is expected for workgroups).

When I do the next download and draft it redownloads all of the patches, and says that they all still need to be applied to
