Hope someone knows! Greetz, William

Anyone else seeing Windows 7 systems appearing to be non responsive with a black screen and blue rotating cursor?
We were experiencing this issue on many, but curiously not all, of our Windows systems both Windows 7 and XP. Additional indications: When CTRL+ALT+DELETE was pressed in an attempt to bring up the Task Manager so Resource Monitor could be started, following a lenghty delay, an error message would pop up stating "Failure to display security and shut down options when CTRL+ALT+DELETE was pressed. If the operating system does not respond, press ESC or restart the computer by using the power switch."

Whether Multiple logins to be created in Windows
I dont have any kind of Active Directory/ similar kind of authentication in my organisation. 1. Is it possible to deploy Desktop Central and utilise all its features? 2. Will it require creation of a login with administrative privileges in windows desktops, which has a common id and password across all the desktops? 3. If it is essential to create administrative logins, can they be hidden from the users so they dont login into the special administrative login.

Are there any plans to release a version of Deskop Central that can run on a Linux server? That is, DC on a Linux server that serves Windows clients? This would certainly save the cost of a server-class version of Windows.

Windows 8 support ?
Our software developers are beginning to test their products on Windows 8 so although our company as a whole is not going to migrate to Windows 8, there will be some machines with the new OS on them which we want to patch with DC. When will DC officially support Windows 8 ? I have a test machine showing 25 patches need to be installed but when I go into the details of that machine it says it needs a scan. Deployment of software seems to work though.

I'm having trouble with the "Install Fonts" configuration template. After configuring the steps in the template (upload the font, input information for the registry key), the configuration reports that both steps were successful, but the font is not installed on any client computers. Has anyone had more success with font installation from Desktop Central? How can I get this working? EDIT: I'm using Desktop Central build 80039. I have the same behavior appearing on several different Desktop Central

DC Agent installation and imaging
Hi, We are using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to create OS images which are then deployed to hundreds of workstations. The images are sysprep'ed, and we are wondering if it is possible to install the Desktop Central agent in animage and have it sysprep'ed, or if we have to install it after the image is deployed, or deploy it through the network. How is the the "agentID" (if any) generated ? Looking in the registry, maybe CompCanonicalName ? If the image is sysprep'ed, the computer name will change.

Call Log Suggestion
One suggestion or the future. Once a support file has been created for ManageEngine we get an automated reply to confirm; "Your file has been uploaded successfully to our server. We will contact you as soon as possible" But there's no call reference number included? Once a support engineer follows up the automated email with a response the call number is included but could I make a suggestion that a call reference is assigned from the initial automated response? It makes things clearer when
