Securing agent WAN access
Hi, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I'm struggling to work out how I can properly secure agent communication from a WAN network (the internet). I have looked at the forwarding server, but it seems to require a split DNS setup which is not possible in my situation (I am part of a much larger organisation and do not have that degree of control over our DNS, and the majority of my systems including the DC server already are assigned public IP addresses, but are behind a firewall) Is there

Roaming users and Forwarding server
A little confused as to what agent to use to support this. https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/secure-communication-of-mobile-users-using-forwarding-server.html According to this they want you to have the same fqdn appear internally as well as externally. Do you have to create a remote office for this and use the wan agent? if it is the same fqdn why won't the LAN agent work? Is there some benefit to the wan agent? half of my workforce work from their homes using straight up internet

Security best practices?
Hi everyone I would like to get feedback on how to expose Desktop Central to the Internet in a secure manner. The documentation on this topic is scarce. I have not found any best practices so far. I would really appreciate comments from the community. When we installed Desktop Central a few years ago, it was mainly used internally to patch out-of-date PCs and collect inventory data. The Desktop Central server was therefore set up in our LAN. Now we would like to make use of the following additional

How to secure remote desktop management in Desktop Central ?
I have a question, how to secure remote desktop management in Desktop Central. How does an installed agent on remote user computer verify that it is connecting to the correct Desktop Central server? To verify that, I performed the following test I created a Desktop Central server that was available under the public IP address [1.1.1.1], and at the FQDN desktopcentral.example.com [1.1.1.1], On client computers I installed an agent that communicated with the central desktop server. Everything worked

Forwarding Server for All WAN Agents or Just Mobile Devices?
I like the idea of the forwarding server a lot, but does it support all WAN agents or just "mobile," e.g. iPhones/iPads or Android phones/tablets?

Thanks!
Setup DesktopCentral Distribution Server without domain admin rights
So we're trialing DesktopCentral, and the product is fantastic until I ran into this issue when trying to setup a remote office distribution point on a candidate machine. I was promptly halted by the install wizard with it stating "it must have domain admin to perform this action." Why? Assume that the account that desktop central is using has local admin on any machine I would be deploying the distribution servers to, and any workstations that would be deployed to. Why does the distribution server
Certificate Chain not Valid
Hello, We are using desktopcentral (version 91113) with mdm integration (with the Forwarding Server version 90016). On the destkopcentral server we have a certificate signed by an internal CA (local only - not third party CA). This certificate is trusted by the domain. On the forwarding server we have a certificate trusted by Start-SSL, public side of MDM. Since beginning of december (build 910099 I suppose) we have an error showed in the desktop central server interface : Certificate Chain not Valid.

md5 checksum on download page
I have big problems with downloading the file ManageEngine_DesktopCentral_64bit.exe. The file is often defective. When I download the file several times, it has always another md5 checksum. Only when I invite them over my rented vServer (CentOS7), the checksums are identical.

It could be used to verify the files
