Font size in notification popup
Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to modify the font size of DCs patch notification. Sometimes the font is very small especially on 4k screens. Not only the message itself is very small then also the button text is very small. Best regards, Daniel

Server changes to wrong IP address
Hi, I've been struggling with getting Desktop Central to use the correct IP address on the machine it's installed on. It also runs VirtualBox so it has an interface for that and Desktop Central want to use that IP as the address it starts on on the real interface address. The alert on the Home says "Desktop Central Server IP has changed Desktop Central Server IP has changed from 10.1.1.100 to 192.168.56.1. Update the new IP Address to ensure proper Agent-Server communication. Update Now" 10.1.1.100

Desktop Central using wrong IP address on server
Hi, I have this message on Desktop Central when I login to the web console, Desktop Central Server IP has changed Desktop Central Server IP has changed from 10.1.1.100 to 192.168.56.1.

Add clients based on IP
Hi, I have just recently decided to give Desktop Central a try - but I am already failing in adding at least one client. Maybe I am just doing something fundamentally wrong: - I added the client using the SoM page - using its fully qualified name (note: I am not running MS Active-Directory, my client PCs are not part of a Windows domain - i thus just added their workgroup). The name I am using is the one that can be successfully resolved using my local router (tested with nslookup in a Windows shell)
copy and replace file using file configuration
I have a file i need to replace on computer that are outside the network. When I use the File Folder Operation (Computer) I do not see any option when copying to replace the file. The file I am copying is the same name as a current file in the location. If I do delete file and then add more file / folder and hit the copy radio button it will not let me select copy using http. Since these computers are outside the network i can not copy the file from network share. Is there any way to either
Architecture to Inventory
Have a structure to your inventory of computers that mimics AD or can be customized. You can filter by group but only static group but not dynamic group. Even filtering by dynamic group would be helpful.
Windows 10 hardware inventory not working
Hello, I've deployed DC in customer's environment. AD 2016 with couple of Windows 7 and Windows 10 desktops. Deployment went well. Patch inventory works well on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers, but hardware inventory does not work on Windows 10. Troubleshooting on Windows 10 computers shows only warning regarding Defender AV. But Defender was disabled in GPO. I have no idea how to make the hardware inventory to work.... Any suggestions? regards, Wojtek
Patch Management Reboot Schedule
I'm looking for a way to schedule a reboot from patch management, I can only see an option to force a shutdown immediately, do not disturb if logged in or allow users to postpone. None of these options are what I require. From what I understand you can only schedule a forced reboot from the "Tools" menu, which takes me away from the patch management section which conveniently shows me all devices that need a reboot. There is a lot of manual work involved with the way this is currently setup as I

Enhanced APD. We have tried it, and we hate it. How is this working for others?
Formerly I had "one" patch deployment schedule working for weekends. Machines which were not reachable, due to being shut down, or mobile workstations, would patch as soon as they were turned on, or connected via VPN, as soon as they connected to our DTC server. That worked well for us for a matter of years. I kept the old deployments until they would have been automatically deleted, before recreating them with the new "enhanced APD. Now what I have found, is we have no way to achieve patching to
Distribution Server.
Hi all. Have one simple question. I have installed Desktop Central server on AWS ec2 instance. On remote locations, I installed Distribution Servers. Do I need to install on them any agent for managing windows updates? If yes, what type of agent do I need to use? Thanks in advance.
Desktop Central and Distribution Server architecture
Hi, I didn't find a topic where this described completely. Could you please share with me a diagram or something where fully described communication process, what happens during it and ports which are using for this. For example, when WAN agent communicate with Distribution Server via 8384 port - what data will be transferred? When I run the task for software deploy for a computer which located in remote office - how it will work? Distribution server used only for downloading programs and patches
Installing missing patches during deployment.
Hi Although applications can be installed automatically after an OS deployment, it should also be possible to automatically apply approved patches. At present the deployment process is slow and/or disjointed. Following OS deployment and automatic install of the DC Agent, a PC is still not listed under 'Managed System' in patch management until a patch scan has been completed. We therefore have to go to Inventory->Computers, find the new PCs to initiate a patch scan, waiting for it to complete, then

DC Large Deployment Read Me
Please change the way you publish the "Read Me" for Service Packs. For example the latest Service Pack for Large Deployments is 10.0.328 but the "Read Me" states: Enhancements and Bug Fixes between 10.0.279 and 10.0.328 The previous build was .314 not .279 So for those of us that have Large deployments are unable to determine what features and enhancements apply to us. It would be nice to have a Read Me that can be viewed prior to installation of the service pack that applies, and shows individual

Patch Management Automate Deployment Suspend Issues
I have two groups for automated deployment. As i rebuild our patch management process, schedules and groups change. Problem I am having is that if I change say the days a task is set to go off on, or change the time frame. Once it's saved, the task is no longer in suspended mode and it starts pushing what updates it has right away. Is there a way to keep a task in suspend mode until it is manually unsuspened? Over the course of the next few months, I will be slowly patching and updating machines.
Which logs should be looked at first?
I am coming from working with Microsoft's SCCM to working with Desktop Central. I've been put in charge of the Patch Management process and revamping it and fixing issues with it. With SCCM, i know which logs i need to look at first to help determine where the troubles may have started and to help get issues resolved more quickly. I was looking in the logs folder and started to go through a few, but like SCCM there are quite a few dozen logs on a machine. Which logs are the most important to look

Failure notification for automatic patch deployment
We have an automatic patch deployment task that failed for 1 PC and succeeded for the rest. We were able to manually install the patches. But in DesktopCentral when I look at the Current Status for this ADP task that partially failed, DesktopCentral continues to report 1 failure from the PC that we needed to manually install the patches on. We've been getting notifications about the failure, and when I look at the details now it says "No data available". Is there a way to refresh the status of the

Updates not applicable
