Windows 10 updates - can we disable so only Desktop Central can pushes updates and restart the machine?
We have multiple windows 10 machines that are still 'updating' on their own and forcing machines to restart even with the Desktop Central Agent on the machine. Is there anyway to disable windows via the Desktop Central console or through group policy, if we have to, for machines to only receive updates from Desktop Central? Thanks Tom

Java update with Desktop Central could not remove the older Java version.
Change in Adobe Patch Download Policy
Hi Folks, There seems to be a change in the Adobe download policy which is in turn affecting the download of these patches in Desktop Central. What is the change? Adobe had recently changed their patch download policy by hiding the direct download links to their patches. This is applicable to Adobe Air, Flash Player, Reader and Shockwave Player applications. What is the impact? Without the link to the patch, Desktop Central will not be able to update these patches to the computers missing them,
My Nessus security scans says I need office patches but DC says my PC is up to date
I am doing security scans on my network PC's and servers and they are reporting that patches are not installed however desktop central says my PC is up to date and healthy. On my own PC I am seeing office updates needed in the scan but if I run a standard windows update that also says I am up to date Are there some updates that do not install automatically but are required for security? If so is there any way I can get those using desktop central? Thanks
Flash updates
Flash 24.0.0.194 was released on 1/10/2017 but a significant portion of my systems are still on the 186 release. Desktop Central is not showing any missing patches for Flash Player. I'm assuming the systems that are on 194 were self-patched by the Adobe updater process. Does Desktop Central no longer provide automatic patching for Flash player?

Update custom software
I know Desktop Central has the ability to push MSI installs to clients, but we were wondering if it is possible to add custom software to the list of software that gets automatic updates? The end goal is to come up with a way to push MSIs automatically without intervention. If the only way to push software is to manually run configurations by uploading the new MSI then we probably move onto another solution. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing any functionally that Desktop Central offered.

Invalid Certificate When Patching
I have a number of updates that are failing to be installed on one computer. Each of them is a Microsoft update or rollup from between October 2016 and December 2016. They all fail with this error message: The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found. No other computer has had this issue. Patch IDs are 21627 21847 21850 21904 21926 21928 103689 103821 What would cause these patches to fail with this message? Why have some 80 odd other very similar builds not been affected?

Remote Site Caching options
Hello, I am looking at Manage Engine for Patch Management and also Image deployment for a Microsoft environment. This is made up from one central site and 40+ smaller sites covering approx. 1000 assets in total. I have seen that SCCM has the option for peer cache that means that it is possible that an onsite PC can be used to cache the updates or images at the remote site. This removes the need to have a server onsite. Is there similar option for Manage Engine, or what are the suggested options

Suggestion for Feature - Ability for Offline Patch Deployments with Notification and User options.
I'm proposing to have locally cached deployment option. We have users that take their laptops home every day and even for weekend.

User is scheduled to get patches on Monday Morning between 12am a - 10am. They take laptop home on friday and don't come back into office until 9am which only leaves 1 hour of deployment
Patch Deployment - Time Zone Consideration

Our Desktop Central server is located in the Mountain time zone and the time zone on that server is also set to Mountain TZ. If I create a patch deployment configuration
WoL Pre-Requisites - Multi Site
Hi All, We're having great difficulty getting WoL to work with Deployment Policies and patching. Our setup is a 10 site WAN and a central server. Some sites have a distribution server and some sites only have a few PC's. Are there any requirements for WoL to work for sites where all the PC's are turned off? I heard a rumour that at least 1 PC in a subnet must be turned on to relay the message from the server. I.e A Desktop Central server in 1 site, cannot wake up machines in another subnet on the

Bug - 2 Hr Delay with Scheduled Patch WOL
We have version 92119 The scheduled time in patch policies and deployment policies is irrelevant for shutdown machines, there is no point to it. Devices get woken up 2 hours after the specified time. There is no point to this and it makes trying to work out actual WOL times a nightmare. M.E have said that it's always been like this. What is the point? Is this a bug or a known 'design feature'? Note: Software configurations using deployment policies to wake up PC's work at the stated time. We have

Patch Deployment Scheduling
I am working on creating groups for automatic deployment of patching. My goal is to have everything go to the test group for approval / disapproval. A week later have a larger group pick up the approved patches. Finally, the rest of the computers picking up approved patches a week after that. my question is, If I set the group to "scan, download, and deploy missing patches." on a specific date, and they happen to be turned off that day. Will they pickup the "scan, download, and deploy" the next
Desktop Central errors when running patching configurations
When running some patch configurations I have a few systems that fail to take some .net patches and result in the following error - "A Patching error A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider" The systems throwing these errors are windows 2008+ servers. I'm certain this isn't a DC issue but do you have any ideas on how they may be resolved?

Windows 10 Anniversary Build 1607 False Positive Finding
I've been working on pushing out the Windows 10 1607 build to some of our PCs. Because Microsoft has been having issues with 1607 and the cumulative updates, they've had to create multiple variations of those cumulative updates each month. In September and October I've noticed on our PCs with 1607 that I receive false positives after the newer CU is applied. Example: KB111111 is released and applied to a PC. Desktop Central scans the PC and all is well. KB111112 is released to fix an issue with KB111111
Remote Office in DMZ
Some background, we have many autonomous business units with no connection back to us besides VPN. We want to supply patch management capabilities through ManageEngine. Is it possible to drop a remote office in the DMZ have the BU in that remote office and open ports back to the main console so they can manage their own remote office? Has anyone done a setup like this? Alternatively has anyone moved to the MSP model and can provide information on how it differs from Enterprise? Thanks.
Patch dependency
Hello, I was patching a pc when I got a message in DC saying that patch id 21330 was not applicable. The reason was "dependency patch is not applicable for this target". I checked in the log and found that patch id 21330 is dependent on patch 103214 which doesn't even show up as missing anywhere. I manually installed the patch on the system and got no errors. Did a patch scan after that and the 21330 patch is installed on the system. Is there an issue with that patch's dependency info ? Why did I
