Add image file to local PC and make it new backgroud
Our company is re-branding itself and would like us to distribute a new .bmp file to c:\windows and then change the windows desktop to this new image.

Issue creating network software and script repository
I have 2 shares: Software Repository and Network Repository Both have Share/NTFS: Everyone/Auth Full control located on the same server as DC When I go explore to the network share DC says access denied and will not 'see' the shares. Shares are visible from a domain user account navigating through the network. Any idea? -Joe
Feature Request - Inactivity Based Shutdown
I'd like to see the ability to have the DC agent watch for inactivity on a managed desktop between specified hours for a recurring shutdown job. (See ScriptLogic's Desktop Authority for a brilliant example of this feature.) We have a need to shut down all of our computers nightly, but don't want to interrupt anybody who is busy or crazy enough to work outside of office hours. It would be great to have the flexibility in Desktop Central that could "watch" the computers between a user configurable

manually apply computer config
Is there a way to call apply computer config to currently connected PCs on the network from DC? I would like real-time (or close to) feedback of which computers are powered ON and connected. macintel
add new computers to launched config
If I add a new PC on the SoM, a running config does not automatically add the new PC to the config. For example, if I have a running patch config and I add a couple of PCs to SoM, the new PCs are not added to the list for the patch install. Thus the patch does not get installed on the new PCs. The only workaround is to create a duplicate job. An option to quickly duplicate jobs would also help. macintel

Couple of questions
Firstly, I want to tell you how impressed I was with installation and configuration. Within 15 minutes of starting the download, I had my test lab in the console and software being pushed down to it. I have a couple of questions. Firstly, we are a decent sized company, with 9 sites and somewhere around 700 workstations. I see you can define office locations by IP range, which is very helpful. However- is there any replication between site repository servers, or am I expected to install a full version

Inventory Problem
Using Desktop Central V6 Build Number 60201 We have just deployed Office 2007 Professional Plus (manually, not through Desktop central) throughout our organisation and when I ran a report to show Software by Volume, it is showing each PC twice in the list, once with the installed date and once without, but the total installed is counting both. We know we are well in compliance with the number of installs but of course now because of the double counting Desktop central it is showing us out of compliance.
