Ways to test connections to Secure Gateway Server and Central Server?
Are there any convenient ways to test connections to Secure Gateway Server and UEMS (Desktop Central ) Central Server? What I am after is a URL approach such as a URL to https://servername.domain.name:8383/somepage.txt . Or TELNET open servername.domain.name 8383. Or anything else that is easy to arrange. I am trying to set up and debug Secure Gateway Sever, plus the firewall and NAT and access rules and so on. Without a simple way to test, this is difficult. Charlie Savage
DC Agent Unable to Send Request to ServiceDesk Plus after upgrading to 10.0.560
No settings have changed, this function worked flawlessly on 10.0.533.W. Verified settings in DesktopCentral for ServiceDesk Plus as error message stated, no settings have changed from prior to 10.0.533.

Feature Request - Scheduled Reboots
Hello- With so many people working from home nowdays, patching is a bit tricky. I need to be able to patch systems but have to give people more flexibility on when their systems are rebooted. I haven't been able to find a good balance so far where people won't complain about too many or too forceful reboot notifications, but also where I dont have several hundred machines that haven't rebooted even after weeks of patches being deployed. At my business, we mostly work M-F so it would be great in

Remote Control - viewing user's desktop - image quality blurry
Hello everyone, I recently noticed that when I use the remote control tool to connect to a user's desktop the video quality is kind of blurry. I can't exactly say when this started and I haven't changed any settings - only installed DC updates. I was looking for settings/ways to improve the video quality and bring it back to where it was before. In some cases it is extremely hard for me to see fonts on the users desktop due to the blurriness. Thank you in advance for any feedback that would help

iCloud Vulnerabilities and Patches Not Lining Up?
I am seeing vulnerabilities listed when iCloud v7.x (Installer EXE) is installed. This is correct, as it is an outdated version. I install the patch and that one goes away. However, all along there is also items listed for the version 10.x (Microsoft Store) version of iCloud, which is not installed on the computers. Patching the 7.x to current only removes the 7.x vulnerability listed. Has anyone else encountered this between the two different install sources?

Distribution Server - replication cycle finished with some failures
Hello, We have installed the 10.0.479 version of Desktop Central and this week we will update to 10.0.484. The issue is that we have "some failures" at the DS replication remarks.

We try to understand what means this remark "Replication cycle finished
Exclude usb device
Hi, We have set up policy to disable the USB devices on all of 500 PCs and it is working. Now we would like to exclude a usb drive for a user. We know that we can add the usb id to exclude tab of our current policy but this would mean that we have to run the policy again for all of the 500 PC's and each time we want to add more usb ID's we have to re-run the policy. is there other way to do this witout the need of running the policy again? Thanks

Is it possible to create a configuration to set options for auditing Windows Event Logs?

Deployment of applications
Hi, I'm currently evaluating Desktop Central, having used SCCM in my previous jobs. I've created a few application packages in the "Software deployment" section and these work great on a test target machine. However when I go to the OS deployment section I find that if I want to deploy some of these apps during OS deployment I need to create new packages for the SAME application. Am I missing something? Thank you Frédéric
OS Deployment Disk size issues
Hello, I used OS Deployer in my past position, and it worked great for imaging machines, etc. When I first started using the tool, it had issues with drive size mismatching. which, almost made me stop vetting it and going to find another tool - Luckily, engineering introduced auto shrink, and I was able to image systems with smaller drives. Here I am 3 or 4 years later, and again, using the OS Deployer tool within Desktop Central.....again, I am hitting a wall with regards to imaging smaller drives.
