Can DCA be used to configure IE settings like trusted sites and custom security level settings? I found the basic template but nothing that digs into the settings of IE.
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. Can I use Desktop Central to do this for me? We only have access to the computer configuration and not the user configuration, but we want to apply this globally so I think it should be fine? Thanks in advance.

Can i run a report on specific files and folders?

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
Transfer Files to Several Computers

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? Trying to capture this information for change management requirements we have after updating critical systems.
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. Is it possible to change it to show all groups with all members? Here's the report for Computers in no group:select Resource.NAME from Resource inner join ManagedComputer on (Resource.RESOURCE_ID = ManagedComputer.RESOURCE_ID) left join CustomGroupMemberRel on (CustomGroupMemberRel.MEMBER_RESOURCE_ID = ManagedComputer.RESOURCE_ID) where

Desktop Centeral Issues
Hi DC support team We have recently installed DC in 5 different sites separately within our Org with different sizing. In site 1, we have almost 14,000 workstations In site 2, we have almost 8,000 workstations. In site 3, we have almost 6,500 workstations. In site 4, we have almost 3,500 workstations. In site 5, we have almost 2,000 workstations. The DC applications were installed in virtual machine (8 cores processor and 8 GB RAM + MS SQL 2012 DB on the same server) as approved by ME Agent has
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
I need an alert to know which machines change its IPAddress to a public address
We need to know the machines that change its ip Address, modified date and hour. Could you helpme how to do this? Regards Vicky
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?
"Support -> Contact Us -> Live Chat" doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 91002. Clicking on the link does nothing in both IE11 and Firefox 37.0.2. I did work couple of hours before upgrad as I had exchange with the support guy through it.
Dll version not changing
Everyone When we install MS15-029 the following system file have to make the following changes | C:\Windows\system32\wmphoto.dll has not been patched | | Remote version : 6.2.9200.16492 | | Should be : 6.2.9200.17254 | But while deploying from manage engine it is not changing the version.

MEDC SDP integration does not work!
The integration between Desktop Central and Service Desk Plus, doesn't seem to stick. Also, after the integration says that is done, I don't see the inventories matching. The idea is to have only one agent working on each computer and I have SDP go through DC to scan the computers. It is not happening!

Dell warranty status failing on all machines
Anybody else having trouble with Dell Warranty statuses not being pulled automatically via service tag. Our installation of Desktop Central is new but it appears that our Dell machines are showing warranty as expired, the warranty date field is empty with a SCAN button. When clicked, no results.
Custom report for third party vulnerabilities
The existing report for vulnerable systems is inadequate, so I've turned to looking at custom reports in hopes it will be able to do what we need. This report needs to have only a few data fields. Ideally, this report needs to display the domain names, the software titles and versions, whether or not the machine is up to date, and the last time the domain name was scanned. Our previous solution was extremely archaic but we were able to create reports with a row at the top for software name and version

Stuck at Ready to execute
Hi We got a big problem with this software, and that is that the status of a configuration is very often stuck at "ready to execute". This problem is related to both software and patch configurations. I know the computer or computers are online, they got the client, firewall accept the right port, and software/patches has been deployed to them earlier. But suddenly, it stops working. A restart of either the client, nor the server solves the problem. Here is a part of the softwaredeployment log:
