Configuration will not deploy if no profile is logged in
I'm preparing a major application upgrade configuration. The custom script config runs perfectly if the computer is on and anyone is logged in. However, I need to get it to run even if no one is logged into the PC. Is there an option that I'm missing? Also, will Desktop Central wake up a sleeping computer with WOL? I'm having issues getting it wake up our laptops even though they're connected via LAN. Thanks!
Notify users on startup (SW deployment)
Hi folks, we just stumbled accross some difficulties while setting up our first configurations for software deployment: We would like to deploy software only on system start. That is because we have sales people, we do not want to disturb every 90minutes with updates (during meetings etc)... Unfortunately the notification for users doesn't show up when we set the deployment policy to system start. There just is no notification about the installation, of couse this way I cannot skip the install! I

Inventory Scan - Not detecting installed software properly
Hello, I have noticed on multiple machines within my network that the scanning results for installed software is incomplete. Rescanning has no affect and it continues to display the same items. Many of which say that only 3 or 4 pieces of software are installed. Reinstalling the agent has not helped either. The total number of affected machines is unknown but I know at least 10 that have this issue. Any thoughts as to why the scans are only pulling partial information? I am currently using build
Restricting Find My iPhone
Will MDM be able to restrict the Find My iPhone feature on iOS devices? We want to be able to make it so that users cannot enable the Find My iPhone activation lock. The reasoning for this is that the user will sometimes lock a corporate iPhone with a personal AppleID. Then, when they return the phone after leaving the company, they do not deactivate the lock and we have to send the iPhone to Apple for it to be unlocked. Is there a way to stop the activation lock from being enabled or is it a feature

Server locks up when Desktop Central service starts
I've recently inherited a server where the processor sticks at 100% and the whole box locks up anytime the Desktop Central starts. I do know that the previous owner had recently updated it and scheduled it to push out updates.

Push Skype for Business
Has anyone figured out how to push Skype for Business to off net desktops. We are on office365 and we lock down admin privileges. This has created an issue because End Users cannot click to load in the office365 portal without Admin privileges. Everyone tells us to use SCCM but we want to use Desktop Central to push it out and install just Skype for Business from Office 365 ProPlus . It will run along side of Lync 2010. We have been playing with GPO's and have it working, but for all off net systems,

Can I used Desktop Central to add a website to trusted sites within IE
I need to add a trusted website to all of our machines in Internet Explorer - Internet Options. These are a mix of: Windows XP Windows 2008 Server The website is an https site.

Scope of Management Add Computers Clear All Option
There desperately needs to be a Clear All Option for the 'Selected Computers' section of the Admin > Scope of Management > Add Computer(s). Once you have computers in this list you have to manually click the little red X one by one to remove them. And no matter how many times you log out & log in.. Update the server.. Your recent selected computers are still there waiting for you. One of my Peers accidentally selected the entire AD OU. Now across ALL Admins we have 2,245 systems to clear from this

Patches Getting Approved Unintentionally
My instance of Desktop Central is set for Manual Approval of patches. I do not intend to approve any patch for general release until it has been tested - usually 30 days after release. I find now that several patches that have a release date of this week are marked as "Approved". The Approval Settings are set to Manual. The Action Log doesn't show any record of the approvals. Not all patches are getting approved and I can't find any correlation to which are getting approved and which are not.
Netstat Open Ports in DC
Is there any way to get open ports as reported by netstat into DC? I don't think its built in but is there anyway to get information from a script into reports or somewhere under inventory?

Do Not reboot selected but after software deployment auto reboots happens anyway
Hi All in my deployment policy I selected the Do not reboot option, but after the software has been deployed the machine auto closes any open programs and reboots the machine automatically. anyone urgently able to help, This cant happen when I rollout a number of software items to 300 plus machines. The user needs to be prompted if ok to reboot or tell them the update will not work until a reboot happens. Regards Aron

Can DC detect MS patches that are installed on a PC even if no DC Patch update has been released?
Need to know if DC can detect an installed MS patch such as the recently released KB3035583. We have PCs that have Windows Update active and this patch apparently has been rated as "unrated' and then upgraded to "important" and we think it may be now rated as "Critical". This means that WU will install it on many of our PCs. We are interested in DC detecting it (but we will not approvoe it - so DC not deploying) and then issuing the uninstall command and then hide the patch from Windows Update.

DesktopCentral, Members of Custom Groups
Hi, I'd like to have a report about the members of the custom groups. Someone posted a custom query for a report of computers within no group. That query works fine.

Desktop Centeral Issues
Hi DC support team We have recently installed DC in 5 different sites separately within our Org with different sizing.

Standalone Client Desktop Central or Service Desk Plus
We have hundreds of workstations that we run the DC client on but we also have several that cannot be on the network. We want to get these machines into ManageEngine and maintain an inventory of them all for reporting purposes and data calls from the agency. We currently are migrating off of BelManage to SDP and DC. BelManage has a standalone client that we run from a USB thumb drive and it gathers the information from the computer and then we upload it to the BelManage server. How can we do

Post 9.1 upgrade, auto deployment task yet to deploy
I'm on day 1 after upgrading our site to 9.1. This morning's auto patch deployment job at 0200 of ~15 servers still has them all at "yet to deploy" (as of 0900). My concern is the scan detail for the patch deployment job was successful for all of them, but if I drill into any one server's details it shows its last scan time of last week. Applying configurations from the agent on the server appears to do nothing. I'm starting here in case I've missed something w/ the 9.1 upgrade. Thanks! Jess
New User - some questions/problems
Hi there, we are currently evaluating DC for our company. I've stumbled across some problems and questions in handling, so maybe you can give me some hints: Test in columns sometimes gets cut off really bad, so i.e. in inventory - I can see OS version "Windows 7.." but not the "...SP1 (x64)". Apparently all column width seem to be fix. OK, they expand a little bit, when I remove columns from view, but still some are way too big while others too small. Is there any possibility to change (and save)
Approved patches loose there approved status
I've been finding that once I approve patches they can loose their 'approved' status after a day or two. I've logged the patches I have approved (to make sure I'm not remembering patches approvals incorrectly). I've also checked the patch approvals I've made shortly after I did them (I haven't found any problems with patches not approving initially). I'm running build 91002. For example if I look at patch approvals today, I can see patch number 17556 (MS15-043 aka KB3049563) is marked unapproved.
Live Chat broken in 91002?
