Configuration and Change Management Tools through DC
Folks, How can I flag a system in DC as being under change control (meaning I don't want to update it, either automatically) or have someone accidentally patch it manually. Are there options for this? Thanks, Adam

Updated And Can No Longer Add Computers
Hello, This morning I updated our Desktop Central application to build 91124 and after the update I can no longer add computers. When I go into SoC to add a computer it now displays this message at the top when I select a group or a single computer: OUNT":3,"osPlatform".{},"ADDED_COMPUTERS_COUNT".3} It shows the selected computers on the right correctly, but the "Done" button is grayed out so my only option is to cancel. The computers are not already managed, and several computers from this domain
Manage Licenses - Network Installations vs. Managed Installations
When managing licenses (under Inventory), what is the difference between a network installation and a managed installation ? We have both Windows 7 Professional (x64) and Windows 7 Professional (x32) installed on domained machines, but having added licenses for both, the 32-bit installations appear as managed, but not networked. Any help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Using Desktop Central Offline
Can DC be used to deploy manually downloaded patches to machines in the LAN? I have a network that can't and won't touch the internet. Win7/2008r2 machines I have successfully remote installed agents on all machines. If I can't install patches I have manually downloaded from MS Catalog, is there a way to use another machine that can touch the internet with DC, choose the appropriate patches, then transfer the appropriate files to DC on the offline machine and remote install from there? I only need
Desktop Central's support for Windows 10 LTSB vs CBB
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt598226(v=vs.85).aspx Will Desktop Central be able to support LTSB installations? And also capable of distinguishing them from CBB & Pro Editions? Mixed environments where some systems may be on LTSB while others will be on the standard Enterprise CBB or PRO. We may want to stagger updates and push the so called large quarterly updates to LTSB. But keep CBB & PRO installs updating monthly. Thanks,

How to extract .mdf from .bak in SQL Server 2005
I have a 6GB .bak file that, when check it in the file to use for restore, the file shows 'Incomplete'. I need to extract the .mdf part of the .bak file since I don't need the .log file. There should be some way to do this or some tool out there that will either repair the .bak file so it doesn't show 'Incomplete', or that will extract the .mdf file so I can use it or repair just the .mdf file. There may even be a SQL script that will do this. I've done extensive searches and can't find an answer.

Defining Single Targets
I recently just set up Desktop Central and was testing the software deployment functionality. However, I want to test on a single machine. Unfortunately when i get to the configuration setup, I am only able to choose group targets, "Remote offices" or "Domain". I don't see an option for single target devices. I also have tried creating a custom group with just one machine and still no luck. Same choices. Is there a way to push to a single target?
Desktop Central MSP - Custom Secure Login Page
Can someone please help me modify the login page. Since this is MSP - it will be exposed to public for the agents to be able to communicate. The current page has all the advertisement one needs to know what type of application is hosted. + This makes it too easy for someone to find an exploit for DC MSP. I would like a simple login page - only the form.

Right now we are running 91070 build and we are planning to make the upgrade the soonest. Thanks, Leo
Power Managment
I've deployed a computer power management configuration to Windows 8.1/10 laptops to dim display after 30 minutes and turn display off after an hour but it appears to have set the display to turn off after a minute of being locked. The configuration appears to be correct and I can't see the setting incorrect within the profile on the devices but after the device is locked for a minute the screen goes off.

Tracking custom groups
I need some suggestions on tracking custom groups and patch groups. I had put in a suggestion on adding this functionality of seeing what custom groups a box belongs to but as of yet it has not materialized. So what is everyone else doing or what could the devs suggest to tackle this problem. In our enviorment we have multiple domains with dozens of patching windows with dev, Qa, Prod, different patch cycles depending on clustered resources so we literally have dozens of patch cycles and patch jobs
Ip change not updating
I have seen on a few occasion that a computer will show online in desktop central but yet scheduled task don't work. Sometimes when this happens I noticed that when I ping the computer I am getting a different IP address than what is showing. Now the quickest way I have found to fix this is a reboot. How often is the agent supposed to update the IP?
Difference between security updates
I dont understand why some office updates are included in patch management and some are not. example server 2012 according to MS windows update KB2726958 is ready to be downloaded and be deployed. However is not available in patch management as not being downloaded, not available or even declined. on the contrary KB2910941 was downloaded and installed with out error via DTC. So why do some KBs show available and some do not? I would love to patch all of office via DTC.

Differentiate between physical and virtual machines
Is there a way in patch management to differentiate between physical and virtual machines? We have a large group of developers that run Hyper-V or Vmware workstation and have VM's that are on the domain. I don't want to waste licenses on these are they are constantly destroying and rebuilding them. I need a way to build a report that gives me a list of virtual machines that are being managed. I haven't been able to find anything that will give me this. Was hoping someone has been able to find something.

IE 11 push via Desktop Central
Hi all, I've been tasked with deploying Internet Explorer 11 (32-bit) to my organization. We're using Windows 7 Professional (64-bit). The reason we're using a 32-bit browser is because many of our core applications require 32-bit IE (ridiculous, I know). I've used one of the pre-packaged templates, but each time I try to push it fails (unknown error code 40015). No biggie - we can also push the 64-bit (confirmed working). However, if this is the route I need to pursue, what would be the best methodology

System Tools Disk clean up question
Hello all, I have a question regarding the system tools wizard for setting up a disk cleanup task for Windows 7 computers. Is it possible to define a disk cleanup task to do a cleanup for the windows update files? We have currently a problem on some computers, where we deploy patches with WSUS. We could solve it with manually running the Microsoft cleanup tool and the option to cleanup the windows update files. Can somebody tell me if there is an according parameter available in the system tools
