Disable actions on the Quick Launch Bar for Remote Control
Is there a way to disable this Quick Launch bar? Help Desk users are able to click on options like Registry Edit, command prompt, etc and they all open under the SYSTEM security context (a big no-no as these folks shouldn't have that level of access). I've disabled the "Enable Quick Launch Tray" option, but not sure if this is the same feature I'm talking about....I must be missing something here.... Running version 9.0.2.113 I've attached screen shots of the feature I'm talking about.

Patch Deployment - Time Zone Consideration
Folks, I was wondering if anyone knows if the "Patch Deployment Window Setting" option within the Deployment Policies takes the local Time zone of the actual workstation being updated into consideration??

Our Desktop Central server is located in the Mountain time zone and the time zone on that server is also set to Mountain TZ. If I create a patch deployment configuration

WoL Pre-Requisites - Multi Site
Hi All, We're having great difficulty getting WoL to work with Deployment Policies and patching. Our setup is a 10 site WAN and a central server. Some sites have a distribution server and some sites only have a few PC's. Are there any requirements for WoL to work for sites where all the PC's are turned off? I heard a rumour that at least 1 PC in a subnet must be turned on to relay the message from the server. I.e A Desktop Central server in 1 site, cannot wake up machines in another subnet on the

Web console reports using an older version when I have already upgraded
Hi, I just updated from 9.2.113 to 10.0.4, which seemed to go smoothly, but now every time I visit the web console it reports at the top: I'm already on the latest version I can find, and it happens on any machine/browser even those I have cleared the browser cache for.

Skip install if version equal to or greater than - with one conditional statement
When I deploy software, say Google Chrome, I configure the package to abort if the software is already installed. The pre-install check looks like this... It would be great if ME DC had a combined condition for "equal to or greater than" so that I don't have to write two rules for each and every package. A single rule would look like - Google Chrome & ( Version>= 54.0 ) exists Thank you

TeamViewer combats this well be allowing users to accept
Erroneous APIPA warning

Can MDM devices automatically be authorized for ActiveSync Quarantine?
Greetings, We are implementing the MDM functionality in our organization using Desktop Central, and would like to also leverage the Quarantine option with ActiveSync. Would it be possible to automatically authorize devices added with MDM to be cleared through Quarantine, once it is turned on? Devices will be 90% iOS and 10% Android. We have around 700 mobile devices in play at the moment, with more on the way. It would be very handy to have this functionality, as we have a relatively small team handling
Bug - 2 Hr Delay with Scheduled Patch WOL
We have version 92119 The scheduled time in patch policies and deployment policies is irrelevant for shutdown machines, there is no point to it. Devices get woken up 2 hours after the specified time. There is no point to this and it makes trying to work out actual WOL times a nightmare. M.E have said that it's always been like this. What is the point? Is this a bug or a known 'design feature'? Note: Software configurations using deployment policies to wake up PC's work at the stated time. We have
