Distribution servers
So we are launching more domains with DTC. Unlike our other Domain Deployments these new segments are physically separated from our primary network. We do have a very small IP space that is interconnected. So we can put a DTC server in each location and manage each domain separately (This is what we have done to test connectivity in the new environments. However, what would be better is if we could use a distribution server in each new network segment eliminating the need to deploy new DTC servers.
Software Deployment - Access Denied for one of the package
We are trying to deploy a couple of .exe files to around 30 workstations. For around 3 workstations, one of the .exe files would fail with the error "Access Denied". No matter how many times we retry, that specific package will always fail with "Access Denied". The same package can deploy to the rest of the workstations without a problem. And that package had also been deployed to the failed workstations before successfully. But upon redeployment they have a high chance to fail with that error. At
No Targets Available Issue
Good Morning everyone, I'm trying to roll out a package for a specific department in my company. I got the package attached to the configuration and everything looks good. I'm able to select the department I want to deploy it to under the correct domain as well. When I do inevitably click on the deploy button to start the process the configuration details come up with a "no targets available" message and then it'll just sit there at the "Ready to execute" status until I either suspend the configuration,
Windows 10 and Boot Time
Hi, I do have a problem with Windows 10 and the boot sequence. Roling out software or patches "at boot time" does not work for days. I think it has something to do with the new quick startup features of windows 10. If I take a look at the overview of all systems many of them show a "last boot time" of days ago - and I know they are shut down every evening. If some Microsoft patches require a reboot, the boot time is shown right and the patches delivered "at boot time" get applied. The problem is,

Scope of Management - AD Sync Settings
Within the SoM Policy I have configured the AD Sync settings to synchronize specific OUs within our domain. I recently modified this and remove a particular OU that contains disabled computer accounts. However, when doing its daily sync, these disabled computers still appear in Desktop Central's list of computers. I tried performing the Sync All option but the disabled computers are still present. Why isn't Desktop Central's updating/synchronizing correctly with AD? I can't believe I'd have to

forced reboot being skipped on deployments
I've created a configuration for deployment using a policy that has a reboot policy to force reboot (both including and excluding servers) and even though I get successful deployments the computers aren't being forced to reboot. I've checked the dcconfigaccess.log and I see that the ENDTIME REBOOT_POLICY for the configuration shows DC_FORCE_REBOOT(skppd). I'm assuming this means the reboot was skipped. How can it be skipped if the reboot is forced ? Am I missing something here ?
Record session time-outs in the Action Log Viewer
Currently when a User logs out of Desktop Central using the Sign Out button, this is recorded in the Action Log Viewer as "User Disconnected". It would be useful for a log entry to be added here when a User session times out due to inactivity. Perhaps a different message so it's obvious this was a time-out and not a decisive log-out.
Why cant I use batch scripts?
Hello, I'm having trouble with custom scripts. I'm trying to use a custom script in the Post-Deployment activities. And I keep getting the same error message: "Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help." At first I started with the correct script I wanted to deploy and got that error message. And then I tried it with the most basic script I could make, which is just a batch Hello World: @echo "Hello World" And I still keep getting the same error.

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? Asked another way, can it support Windows clients as well? https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/secure-communication-of-mobile-users-using-forwarding-server.html I would much prefer this over exposing Desktop Central directly to the internet. Thanks!
Enabling Desktop Central server to communicate to agents over the Internet
We are trying to be able to allow our desktop central server to be able to be in contacts with the agents and check in over the internet and outside the LAN. Currently it is not working and speaking with someone at ManageEngine we were informed to enable a NAT to a public IP to the desktop central server. Our network engineer has gone ahead and done that with the ports indicated on the ManageEngine knowledgebase on our firewall level. However, after the engineer set it up, it doesn’t appear to be

We're just testing out Desktop Central. We're having an issue pushing the agent out via the interface (Unable to get the Agent Status.

Desktop Central MSP - Need to change a distribution server
We have an existing distribution server for an organization, whose machines are all part of Desktop Central MSP. However, we are getting rid of the local distribution server (not the MSP server) and replacing it with a new local distribution server. The question is, will we need to uninstall all the existing agents in DC MSP and re-install them with the new distribution server? Or do we need to point the agents to the new server only? Or is there nothing we need to do? I appreciate the help.
Best practices to use DesktopCentral pathcing instead of WSUS/Windows Update
I am working on a new Windows 10 rollout and would like to have Desktop Central control ALL windows updates for all workstations. I have not (I do not wish to) set up WSUS - but in a tight test with two Windows 10 installs (one with 1607 ENT and the other using 1607 LTSB) I am finding that while Desktop Central seems to have patched these two just fine last week with what looks like the latest cumulative updates - I noticed this morning on my LTSB install that two patches "suddenly" showed up when
CRSData
Hello, I'm investigating a way to reduce the Scheduled DB Backup size and discovered that most of the DB backup size is from "conf\CRSData\dc-crs\definitiondata\1.1\" (520MB over 550MB). In there there is datas from 6-8 months ago. I'm not sure what it is (looks like patchs DB and so on). Is it possible to clean this folder? Do you have tips of things we can clean to reduce backup size? Thanks Sylvain

Difference between DesktopCentral and DesktopCentral MSP
It seems to me that they both are the same with an On-Premise deployment being necessary. I thought that 'MSP' indicated a 'cloud hosted' version of DesktopCentral. Can someone please shed some light on the differences?
