Downloading PPM last few releases
I've run into a major issue downloading the latest released update/ppm file in a timely manner. This has happened with the last few releases I have downloaded. I thought I isolated the problem to the servers it's coming from. I have tested this with Multiple ISP's/Sites within my area. The problem is consistent between them (ISP or machine downloading the PPM). Previously the PPM file download links on the DesktopCentral website all pointed to Desktopcentral.com with the exception of the latest patch/link
Create Exports for IP Scopes, Remote Offices and Computers
When setting up a Desktop Central server, you have the ability to import a CSV file with information. Problem is, the documentation is not clearly written and thus causes a lot of issues, errors and downtime. When migrating information from one server to another (new server/new hardware), you should be able to export the IP scope and other information in the proper format. So far, following the build in instructions form Desktop Central, i've yet to get anything to import and i won't manually import

Associate Individual Domain Admin accounts with Individual Technicians
Hello, I am currently in the process of setting up Desktop Central and getting it configured for our domain. As it currently stands, our technicians all use a regular user account in Active Directory for their day to day tasks, and then use a separate Domain Administrator account that is associated to them whenever they need to use elevated privileges. The way we currently have Desktop Central technicians set up, is by granting them access in ServiceDesk Plus. That means that it assigns them the

I have been evaluating DC for a little while after the fix for memory leaks in the client. No changes have been made to DC at all recently. I tried logging in today to check the status of a few things using my domain logon. But no matter what it will not longer log in, and the local admin user seems to have gone away too.

The idea is to test patches in the test environment, then patches goes to the test group of a few real computers, and after installing patches on this computers they will be approved and automaticaly installed on all computers in my network.

Some apps, such as Zoom or Office 365, won't update while the user has them open. You get the following message: "Patch update delayed since application is used by another process." Is there any way to force these apps to close as part of the normal patching process? Or do I have to create a configuration/scheduled task to reboot or forcefully close everything?
Target by AD Security Group
Hi all, Hope you are all keeping well. I'm hoping you can help with this question. I have several configurations that target machines based on AD Security Groups. If I pre-populate these groups prior to enabling the configuration it works great. However, my idea of using security groups was so that I could add machines at anytime...trusting that Desktop Central would be checking the security group members and amending the deployment as required. This doesn't seem to be happening. for example, I start
High Paging File Utilization
We're monitoring our Desktop Central server and noticed that the paging file often fills up. It looks like it clears out a little after the server maintenance every week but it usually fills back up before the next maintenance. Our server (a VM) isn't even using all of the memory allocated to it and it won't let me set a larger custom paging file size. Can we turn off the paging file or is it needed to properly run Desktop Central?

Exporting Current Settings
We are getting ready to install a new Desktop Central server. I'm going through the current one and don't see an option to export our current configurations. Does this option exist? We are manually setting everything as we want a fresh clean install. Manually importing machines as we don't want any possible corruption being imported. Is there a feature to export the configurations for the different area's or do we just have to manually setting by setting.

Help: [ManageEngine Desktop] Add a shared network drive with Credentials
Hi all, I am unsing ManageEngine Desktop Central and I am trying to add a shared network drive to all computers. The shared network drive is on a machine that everyone has access to, but it requires a username and password (let's say user: SharedDrive, password: 1234) When doing a new configuration > user (Add Shared Network Drive), it doesn't ask me for credentials and then it fails because username/password is incorrect, which is normal because I didn't find where to put them. What can I do? Thank
