System Vulnerability Report for Servers
I am looking to build a custom report similar to the vulnerability report to include the graph but I would like to have it filters to show only items that begin with Windows Server for the operating system. If the report is a SQL query I can put it in Analytics and generate the graphs that way.
patch 22973 "SQL2014 SP2 GDR Update" keeps want to install even though our SQL is higher version
why DC keeps pushing patch that is not meant for the version of SQL2014.. when manually installing we are getting notification that our version is patched. "The SQL Server patch package is part of a general distribution release (GDR). This package cannot be applied since this SQL Server feature has already been patched. To continue, you must install higher version of the SQL Server Patch.
Changing notification port
After changing the Notification Server Port ( Admin > Server Settings ) how do I update the agents to use the new port? Running the agent troubleshooter shows that it is still using the default port (8027)? I'm trying to change the port because DirectAccess reserves 6000-40000 and I think it is interfering with the connection.

Win10 patching strange logic
Hi I have some investigation and see very strange logic... 1. I see machines still needs replaced patch (it's not required if I run Windows Update): 2017-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4023680) patch replaced by: Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4022715) Information from MS site: http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4022715 2.

"MDM" for laptops and desktops
We use Desktop Central, and Desktop Central MSP, but I recall there being no geolocation or remote wipe capabilities for laptops or desktops. MDM does offer this, but it is only for tablets and phones. So my question is - is there a geolocation and remote wipe feature for laptops or desktops? If not, is there a plan to add such a feature in the future? In the mean time, does anyone else have any recommendations for a sort of MDM solution for laptops and desktops that will work alongside (directly
Launch Apps from Self Service Portal
It would be nice if users could launch apps from the Self Service Portal. The button could Install (then Run) if required, or Run if already installed. In the package page, there could also then be a Launch tab as well as Installation and Uninstallation.

Either you haven't provided the silent switches or the silent switches are incorrect
Deploying MS Office 2013, received the message "Either you haven't provided the silent switches or the silent switches are incorrect" on 4 out of the 30 computers in the distribution. The other 26 installed the same package without a problem.
Optional "Critical" Updates??
Have a look at this Optional MS updates do not have the same granularity as security updates I want critical updates to be automatically deployed. I don't want to automatically deploy unrated optional updates. It would make the most sense to have each category of updates have the same granularity as "Security" updates. Does an optional "critical" update even make sense? Thanks!
How do I show all Users under System
How can I get all user profiles that exist on a computer listed somewhere in DC? The list under System only shows local accounts and whoever is currently logged on. I am trying to figure out how to get a list of all profiles on the machine. I though we used to be able to see that under the System tab. Thanks!

Desktop Central Chat and Remote Control Behaviour

Software NOT installed report on specific computers (dynamic groups)
I am attempting to verify if a group of computers does NOT have a specific application installed. I would like to accomplish this with a weekly report. I was able to find the report "Computers with/without a specific Software" but I do not see an option to use dynamic groups. Is there another way of accomplishing this that I am not seeing? Thanks, Brian

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

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

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

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.
