Restart switch on custom exe package
I am in the process of testing the deployment of windows 10. I have it working based on the documentation on how to deploy it. I noticed tho that once it is finished it the pc automatically restarts. I am using the /quiet switch but what switch could I use to either force a reboot after x amount of time or give some kind of warning before the pc just restarts once it is finished deploying. Ideally I would like the pop up box that shows up when ever patches or other software has been installed.
Order of patch deployment
In what order are patches applied during the patch deployment process of APD jobs? I understand that check in and download and actual deployment start times are random and based on when a box checks in. But once a box has checked in, downloaded the binaries and then reaches its designated deployment window in which order are patches actually deployed. Here is an example list of patches missing on a client. I assume it will install oldest to newest but that is an assumption and would prefer to not
Desktopcentral as Cloud computers manager
Hello, We're using DesktopCentral for some years know to manage our customers domains computers and we love it! Now we have a project to manage our out-of-domain customers computers and we didn't find a solution that can match DesktopCentral abilities (patch management, software deployment, remote control) in any cloud product we looked at. So the goal is to build a DesktopCentral server in our datacenter that can manage these out-of-domain computers (like laptops, small customers) through WAN /
computer status says restart required but no patches were recently installed
I just updated to 10.0.132 and now a lot of my computers have a status of needing reboot. Some of these are servers which were never patched and rebooted recently yet there is an alert saying that "Reboot Required Critical patches have been deployed to this computer that requires system to be rebooted. Reboot the computer for the patches to take effect.". Now some of the servers that had that message I rebooted and it went away but there are some I have to schedule time to restart. Why does it give

How do you change the default "Install As" option in Configuration?

Desktop Central MSP Distribution Server clarification
Hi, does the distribution server channel all traffic between a client and the Desktop Central server? I need to know that auditing, remote control, configuration changes etc all go through the distribution server. I want to have a DS in the DMZ communicating to the DC MSP server on the LAN. If clients have to talk directly to the DC MSP server for anything then it causes me some issues. Any help will be appreciated.

Manage Engine's Desktop Central "Server Host OS"

However, we've noticed that MEDCP's "Server" is built using a combination of Java and other Open Source components; not so the Workstations-OS specific add-ons. Therefore, at first glance, one would
Installation on a computer scope but as a currently logged on user

But we cannot deploy this with a Desktop Central "per user" Installation or Custom Script, since our users logon to multiple computers within certain period.

Any ideas how to achieve
SQLServer2014-KB4019091-x64.exe keeps failing to install although Windows Update says it is not needed....
Desktop Central keeps telling me my server, port-svr-cfm needs the patch SQLServer2014-KB4019091-x64.exe, however, if you do a Windows Update scan on the server itself, it is not needed. If I try to install it on the server, it keeps failing with Unknown Error. Code : -2068643838. This is causing the server to stay in a Vulnerable state, making our reports for the month wrong. Please help? Todd
