Invalid command line argument when deploying custom msi
I am trying to deploy PDFill as a custom package. It successfully uninstalls the previous versions as described in the pre-deployment activity, however it will not install the new version. The custom package only has "/quiet" as an MSI property, but the log file shows different. Where are the extra arguments like ACTION=INSTALL coming from? Here is a snippet: [ 2014-12-10 09:13:39:026 ] [ 3880 ] [INFO] ########################################## INSTALLATION ###################################################

Remote Control Concerns: Need to User Notification + Awareness
When selecting to remote a control a device in the console, you have to supply a reason. However, this reason doesn't appear to be used anywhere? Our users have raised the following interesting privacy concerns: 1. Someone can remote control their PC without there permission 2. They cannot tell that their PC is being remote controlled Our business is reviewing the idea of banning remote control via Desktop Central because of these concerns. TeamViewer combats this well be allowing users to accept
Erroneous APIPA warning
For a while now, I have been seeing a warning on the Home screen of my Desktop Central interface. It doesn't seem to break any functionality but it does get tiresome seeing it every single day. Our server runs on an a static IP and it hasn't changed in years. I have verified this. There are also no other network connections besides the LAN adapter. I did submit a ticket for it and the technician's answer was that we have a loopback address on the server and that needs to be removed. Well, I am fairly

Can MDM devices automatically be authorized for ActiveSync Quarantine?
Greetings, We are implementing the MDM functionality in our organization using Desktop Central, and would like to also leverage the Quarantine option with ActiveSync. Would it be possible to automatically authorize devices added with MDM to be cleared through Quarantine, once it is turned on? Devices will be 90% iOS and 10% Android. We have around 700 mobile devices in play at the moment, with more on the way. It would be very handy to have this functionality, as we have a relatively small team handling
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
Desktop Central 10 Fonts Lato are BAD...
I don't know if anyone else thinks this but the new Lato fonts in new DC 10 are horrible.. I converted different font into .eot .woff .woff2 format and replaced in DesktopCentral_Server\webapps\DesktopCentral\themes\styles\font (rename new ones into Lato.*) making the page display crisp text.. Don't know why DC development staff would pick such horrible font..

Configuration of Desktop Shortcut failed
I tried creating a computer configuration that is supposed to create a desktop shortcut to Chrome on the desktop. After filling in all the fields I attempted to publish but the Deploy and Deploy Immediately buttons don't work.

After deployment the configuration fails on all machines. On some machines the configuration remains

A week later have a larger group pick up the approved patches.

Desktop Central 10/9 version confusion?
Hi, On the main download page for DC it now states download desktop central 10. However when you then go to click on the service packs and upgrades it takes you to the current build of 9. Am I right in assuming that the main download where it states version 10 is still actually version 9? Or have i missed something about an upgrade version? Thanks

use current logged on credentials
Hello, It would be great if desktop central and any other products applicable would have an option to use the current logged on credentials of the user, or have an option where it only asked you for credentials one time and saved them as opposed to forcing a user to put in the same credentials every time for every operation. thank you -sean

How can I remove junk Metro apps?
When I manually build a machine I run a script while logged on as the local administrator that removes many of the extra Windows metro crap. I would like to accomplish the same thing using DC-MSP but have not yet figured out how to make it work. I'm open to solutions that don't include my script but work with DC-MSP and wondering how others accomplish the same thing. Here's what I normally run... CD %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ powershell.exe "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force"
