More detailed execution status
Hi, I would really like to have more details on the individual executions statuses. The individual computers are either yet to apply, retry, failed, or successful. There is "in progress" for the config as a whole, but not on which computers are in progress. I have some configs that copy an entire folder to the computer. After looking at the logs of the target computers, many that are "yet to apply" have received the configuration and are in progress. It would be very helpful if they said for instance:

User prompted to "Click to skip reboot" but no button is present
After patches are installed using automated patch management, the user is given a countdown clock until restart. They are told that they have the option to "Click to skip reboot", but there is only a "Reboot Now" button. Users need a skip or delay reboot option, similar to Windows Updates, so they are not interrupted if they are working during the patch update window.

PC computer name changed to "VM-"<computer name> and DC Automatic removal question
Re-installation of DC on a PC results in DC reporting the PC as : "VM-"<computer name>. I have been testing uninstalling/reinstalling the DC Agent and changing workgroup names via DC.
