Best way to test DC-ME build upgrade
Hello, We're currently planning to upgrade our DC-ME environment from build 90023 to the most current production build. However, my manager has some concerns about what the user impact will be, and wants us to test the upgrade scenario before rolling it out to our user base. That being said, I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on how to test this out? My initial plan was to clone the VM that DC-ME is running off of, spin up a few Windows 7 VMs and install the build 90023 user agent locally.

Software Deployment By AD Group New Members Not Added
Pretty much as the title suggests. If We have set a Software Deployment package to a Configuration that only deploys to a specific group in Active Directory, when members are added to the group (Computers), they do not ever show as targets in the Configuration. The only way to get them to show up as a target for deployment is to go into the Configuration and then modify it, specify the target to the same group and save. Two problems with this, it redeploys to machines that already have the software

Scheduled Off the network updates
I think this has been discussed here before but if not I wanted to suggest it. So Desktop Central (henceforth referred to as DTC) has the ability to schedule updates. What I'd like to see is the following: During the week I schedule windows updates for all my machines to take place on the weekend/specific date/time. DTC prestages all the updates to the machine at some point before the weekend/specific date/time The local agent retains the knowledge of the date and time for the scheduled update. Regardless

Self Service Portal - Registry Key not Importing
Hi all, I have a deployment package that works just fine when pushed out from DC's webpage (using Run As). One of the post activities is to import a registry file using a unc path. This work. However, when a user run the install from self service portal, it doesn't work. Software does get installed however. The user running the install has full admin rights to their machine, and as well, can browse the UNC path without issue. Any suggestions?
Installing IBM Rational DOORS
Hi all, According to IBM's website, installing DOORS silently requires this long statement: setup.exe /v"/l*v \"C:\doors_install.log\" /qn INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\" CLIENTDATA=\"12348@servername\" LAPAGREE=\"Yes\" TLLICENSESERVER=\"27000@servername\" I don't think DC is interpreting this properly as when I go to push it out, a user will get a dialog box telling them that the switches are invalid. I can however install this locally on a users machine no problem. Any suggestions?
Intermittent Issue with Remote Control with HTML5 in Chrome
Occasionally while attempting to connect to a remote control session, the connection will close with the error "Web Socket Connection failure. Error: Failed to decompress a compressed WebSocket frame - 1002". It will typically show me the remote machine, but as soon as I move the mouse it will drop with this error. Connecting to the same host using the ActiveX control works fine. I'm sure it's our security software catching something. I just need to know where to look. Thanks!
New behavior issue with Remote Control when switching between View Only using the HTML5 viewer
When remoting into a computer with user confirmations disabled, Remote Control immediately grants access to the machine. This is fine, however, if the operator switches to View Only and then switches back, this message will sometimes appear: This prompt is new as of one or two service pack releases. The largest problem is that there is no prompt shown on the client's end, and the session must be recreated to gain control. Sometimes on the second reconnect, this error will show:

How do I delete App Catalog from my iPhone?
A few days ago an App Catalog icon appeared on my phone. I don't recall ever installing App Catalog. I have checked through my list of apps on iTunes but it is not listed.

Please explain how to remove it and also how it might have ended up on my phone. Thanks
