In the software inventory, it seems to be keeping track of the software OK with one exception. For some reason it is showing each install of Adobe Acrobat as a separate software. So instead of showing 5 copies of Acrobat, it shows 5 separate lines of Acrobat installed once each. Please remedy and/or provide a workaround. I've attached

adding local users
When trying to deploy local users to a number of machines, they all fail saying that the password doesn't meet the complexity rules. I absolutely know that 12 characters with a number, upper case and special character would more than meet any complexity requirements.

Hope above information addressed your doubts. warm regards, J.Dan No way to customize che inventory module to get other information from bios? Compaq/Hp bios should have the model name.

Hello. I'm trying Desktop Central on behalf of my it department and it seems to be a very good software. I have (for now ^^) only 2 questions about the inventory: 1.

On the same report we also only want one weeks worth of report to be reported, per user. So that for say a user called "X", it has there login and logout

Desktop Sharing Extraordinarily Slow
Hello - We have 3 installations of DC 6 at our facilities. All 3 are exhibiting the same exact problem with Desktop Sharing - it's horribly slow. So slow it's unusable. The ActiveX agent gets installed without issue. The end PC's are all Windows XP SP2. The only TSR on the PC is Eset NOD32 and Java. Do you have any hints as to why it's so slow or what I could do to speed it up? Searched your blog and faq and found nothing. Please help. JMM
