Please provide a way to be notified about udpates and hotfixes
Hi I asked it already before and I'm going to do it again here because it's quite important for me, and undoubtedly other customers too, that I have a way to be efficiently notified about new updates for Desktop Central. Neither the software, neither by mail, neither by any other way we can be notified about new releases, which sometimes contain important security updates too. I'd rather not want a newsletter subscription as a solution, which will only increase the amount of unwanted mail in my mailbox.

dcagenttrayicon.exe has stopped responding
This has happened to a few of our users and we can not determine the cause. Agent version 9.2.112.W DC build 92113 It does not appear to be network-related. The agent troubleshooter does not show any errors, but does advise adding the agent to antivirus exception lists. However, I have not seen any warnings from our antivirus software when the agent crashes. I have run SFC to check the faulting module "ntdll.dll" but it passed the integrity check. This error appears in the event viewer: Faulting
Configuration Deployment Status
It would be fantastic if a feature could be added so that in the configuration summary/execution status window a new state could be added and additional information. As it stands now, when I deploy a configuration there is no middle ground between "ready to execute" and "executed". There is no way for me to know that the DC agent on the target computer has received the configuration instructions and is processing the configuration. It would be great if the configuration summary page would show that
MDM users vs devices
I thought there was a way that you can assign users to profiles in MDM rather than just devices. I just created a new profile and I can only add devices. So if that person gets a new device, it will have to be added to each profile. Is there a way to add the users, rather than devices as this could become a very big administrative nightmare.
Software deployment General Quries
Hi, Can someone answer the below queries. 1. If the FQDN and IP of Desktop Central are changed then how can we migrate the same in both Server and Client side? 2. Is there any impact on SQL if we change the Hostname of Server or migrate the application to a new server? 4. Can we configure throttling in Desktop central client so that we can restrict download speed/bandwidth? 3. Scenario: We have created a deployment rule to deploy application only during the non-business hour. What will happen

After logging in, just a blank page
First, I'm unsure what version I'm using. I know it's 10 - but I don't know the exact version #. The problem I have: After I log in, the webpage is just blank and leaves me at the URL: http://localhost:8020/upgradeLicense.do?actionToCall=loadDetails&showInline=true Not much I can do here. Just a blank page. I've logged in using IE, Chrome, Firefox. Cleared my cache. Even downloaded Opera and tried that. Nothing but a big blank page. Any suggestions on what I can do here, aside from uninstalling/re-installing?
Remote Control to RDP-Sessions doesn't work properly
Hi there, our remote control seems not to work with RDP-Sessions.

Any hints? Thanks in advance! Regards, Daniel

SDP update after DC scan
We have Desktop Central and Service Desk Plus integrated with each other. I checked the integrated workflow and it says asset scan post immediately to SDP. I was able to confirm this but one of the problems I noticed was that it doesn't update the OS on the machine. With the integration if something like an OS changes is it suppose to update the OS version showing in SDP? If so, how do I fix it? I worry that if I make other updates to my workstations (i.e. hardware upgrades) that it won't show
Every uninstall fails but uninstalls?
Hi, We have just moved our DTC server and reinstalled from scratch with a fresh database and everything seems to working fine apart from uninstalling packages. Everything i push out to install installs fine which is great.

When i check the machine i have asked to uninstall the package from the application is not listed in the add remove programs. Some of the

Delete patch temp files when completed.
After our first round of server patches after DC implementation it came to light that patches are not being removed after they have been patched. Is there a setting in DC that will delete the patches after they have been applied to the server/workstation? This will help prevent getting disk usage alerts.
Changing IP Address Central Server
I tried migrating my new installation of DC to a new server, but failed horribly and had to start over. Now I have about 20 clients that are pointing to the old server. I successfully changed one by running the script here: https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/desktop_agent_change_ip.html and following the example. I'm trying to run it through Task Scheduler, but the windows script is not running the VBS. I have it copying the script file then executing it locally. I tried
Monitoring Priviliged Use
We would like to run some sort of report from Desktop Central that will show when users with privileged access log in. At the moment I can see the admin account if it is logged in when a scan is carried out, but that does not tell me any other time that the account is used. Any ideas guys n gals.
Report Request - Microsoft Licensed Products
I'm trying to pull a report of all licensable Microsoft products and number of installs in our environment. I've tried different criteria but the list just contains huge amounts of Microsoft products that I don't need such as .NET Framework, Visual C++ components, and numerous other unneeded items. I'm hoping that someone has needed to pull this type of report before and can give me some guidance. Thank you.

Question about building a package
I was tasked with upgrading computers with a new version of software. What I would like to do is add a feature to my package that will send a notification to the users, asking them to "click OK" to start the installation, as well as give them the option to "postpone" the install a few number of times. Is this possible using Desktop Central? Darren
Desktop Central service wont start
Hi I have just installed Desktop central 10 on server 2012 r2 and everything was working fine after install.

Patch management and triggers - best practices?
I'm looking to setup some patch management that will scan, download, and install. After that deployment, I would like to start a timer/trigger for the next round> Example: 1. Scan>Download>Install by IP range, nightly. 2. 4 days later deploy these updates to a different set of IP's. 3. 7 days later deploy the another set of IP's. I'm looking to keep the care and feeding of my tiered deployment schedule to something I don't need to babysit everyday, other than looking for some initial errors. Even

Minor Tweak Suggestion To System Tray Menu
So this is a suggestion that is very minor, nothing critical, it's just to address an annoyance. So in my company's environment, when we go to open up Desktop Central we go to the system tray area, right click the DC icon and choose the open web console option. It's great. Except that stop service is immediately above this. There have been a few instances where someone, myself included, has accidentally hit the stop service option. It's not a huge deal, you just start the service back up hooray,
