Turn wireless OFF when wired is ON?
Is there a method (or tool) that I might use Enterprise wide to force wifi OFF on laptops when they get docked or plugged into wired ports? I am worried about bridging, and users NEVER remember to flick that little switch to disable the radio so I'd like to force it whenever they plug the wired in and connect to the ethernet.

Is there a remote uninstall through desktop central for this? I have searched the internet in vain and have been unable to find any remote silent uninstalls for this, but I am hoping that you have something. Paul Singleton
Office 2007 Deployment
I'm trying to test deploying office 2007 using Desktop Central. However, there's no place to enter xml files.. Has any of you used desktop central to roll out Office 2007. I would appreciate some input. I'm looking for an easier way to deploy it than using GP, a logon script and xml file. Thanks, DJ
Software deploy --Fourth time submitting this bug!!!
I've submitted this bug to you FOUR times with no response. Note to those evaluating this software - you may not get your bugs fixed, and this software is LOADED with bugs. I have a laptop to which I am trying to deploy software. It deploys to most computers without issue. However, one of the laptops shows that the software has been deployed successfully, however it has NOT been deployed to this laptop. I've tried to submit via your support log-submission page, but it times out. Sure wish you would
IE critical patches (MS08-078) supported in Desktop Central
Hi Desktop Central Patch Management supports the latest IE Security vulnerability patches. Trust you are aware of the IE security holes identified and patched recently this week. Here is the description of the vulnerability A remote code execution vulnerability exists as an invalid pointer reference in the data binding function of Internet Explorer. When data binding is enabled (which is the default state), it is possible under certain conditions for an object to be released without updating the
Security Policies
I depoyed a security policy, then made a change and re-deployed. After the second deployment I have noticed that several machines have not applied the changes. When I check the status on desktop central it shows as "pending". Chad

Patch Management and Bandwidth Utilization
I am in the process of just getting the eval version set up. We have a dispersed environment w/ 31 remote offices, each with a domain controller. I am looking at this for a replacement of WSUS. All of our offices connect back to corporate via PIX or ASA VPN's. Does anyone have any background on how big of a bandwidth hog the patch management is? I don't want to waste my time. Thanks very much & Merry Christmas! Joe
uninstall
Need a way to uninstall patches. Specifically Service pack 3 installation requires uninstall of KB925877 and this is making me have to go directly to the systems to perform this uninstall. Paul Singleton
Remote Control
Error: RPC Server unavailable Hi Support, We have successfully installed the Agent on most worksations. We trying to test the remote control and have been unsuccessful thus far. I've been testing it with a colegue and no luck so far. We've enabled the following service: RPC, RPC Locator, WMI and WMI Driver Extensions We're able to ping the hosts and receive information from MEDC6. We know the agent is installed on those hosts. Question: When the agent is installed should there be a Windows Firewall
Remote Control on Dual Montior System
A question and a suggestion: First the question: How can I view the secondary monitor output (or the entire screen span) on a client using multiple monitors? When I connect to a machine with two monitors, for instance, I can only see the primary screen output. Now the suggestion: If you're looking for ways to improve the remote control of Desktop Central, download a copy of UltraVNC and make a 1:1 copy of the features and functionality. It's the best remote control system I've ever worked with for
remote connection
Every time I try to create a remote connection to a PC I keep having an error complaining that the "publisher is unknown". I haven tried to trust/install the certificate but still have the same problem... Anyone got a solution for this please... would really like to get this going as we do use a few other adventnet programs and this one would tie in nicely... Will Westlake
Asset Agent not getting installed
Hi there, I have about 400 computers in my network that I'm trying to install the agent on, about 100 of them it works fine, however for the rest of them it's not installing the agent, can anyone help me out on this issue? I'm using agent version 6.2.24. I'm getting a bit frustrated and it's only my second day using this software. Any early help would be greatly appreciated.
Desktop Central software distribution
I need to distribute software - specifically the MS office compatibility pack. I have the deployment guide and am using the recommended switches. I am able to execute the file using START/RUN + path. I have 1 workstation I'm trying to distribute to as a test. I have pushed the configuration several times and the result was reported as a success within the Desktop Central 6 application, however the compatibility pack has not installed. There is no error message. I have build #60230 and version 6.0.0.
remote control 8443 already in use
How can we change the port number used for remote control via Desktop Central? Tried restarting DC but didn't help. We're on build v6.0.0 build 60227 Desktop Central uses TCP port 8443 for the remote control communication. This port is already used by some other service. Use edit settings to change the port number or free the port for Desktop Central to use.
invalid workgroups/domains
My network consists of one domain, and no active workgroups. I say "no active workgroups" because occasionally during troubleshooting we will move a workstation from the domain to a workgroup and then back to the domain. Desktop Central now "sees" these workgroups and are listed throughout the web interface. How can I remove these? They aren't really hurting anything, but I'd rather not see them. Period. Don't want them. Any help with removing these and the computers within contained within these
After update, software deployment is broken
I'd love to use your tech support number, but you guys apparently don't answer that number anymore, probably too busy fixing the new set of bugs introduced by the last service pack. I installed the latest service pack, and now NOTHING will deploy. I've gone through all the steps in your FAQ, but it still won't deploy to ANY desktops. Please fix. I've attached a file that shows just one of the problems. Notice that the status is "Executed" and everything else is "Yet to Apply"? That seem like a problem
Desktop Central - Help Desk Ticket System
When a employee uses the Help Desk Submit ticket system, it captures there username. However, in AD the username is not apart of their email address. We strictly use the Alias name. Example: My username is jasonc. However my email address is jason.capo@kellstrom.com Is there a way that Desktop Central can scan the username and get the alias name instead. When a user submits the ticket, they do not a reply or a conformation that the ticket was submitted successfully. Thanks, Jason kellstromhlpdsk

Can I execute now? Why only logon/logoff
I'm trying to understand when configurations is executed, and I need clarification: Question: Can I run a custum script now (while computer is turned on offcourse, user login optional).

.NET 2.0 PUSH
I pushed out .NET 2.0 to 95 computers (dotnetfx2.0.exe /q), 63 were successful "The operation completed successfully" and 30 Failed "The wait operation timed out". I checked these successful computers and .net 2.0 is not installed so I had to run around and do the installs manually. A few computers did have it installed but I think we may have installed it for another piece of software. Why are these PCs showing successful if it is not installed? On the 30 PC that failed is there a way to restart

windows firewall exceptions

export PCs needing update
The patch mgmt usually tells us which PCs are missing certain updates. I would like to be able to export the list of PCs from the patch mgmt console. For example, if PC01 and PC02 are missing patchA the patch mgmt console will display patchA with a list of PC01 and PC02. I like the option to be able to export this list into "Custom Groups" to minimize the push to PCs that already have the update. macintel
Moving DC to another server
What are the steps involved with moving Desktop Central to another server? If we backup the data folder and paste that into the new server location, would that be enough? Will the clients recognize the new server location or will we have to re-install the agents? How will it affect our licenses? A step-by-step guide is very much appreciated. Thank you macintel
