Several Test Group for Patch Deployment
Hi! How can i make testing of patches for several groups? 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. So, can i implement testing patches before approving in two steps?
Patching Open Applications
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

Zoom issued fix for an UNC vulnerability that compromises Windows credentials
Zoom patched a fatal flaw in the Zoom Windows client that allows attackers to use its chat feature to share malicious links that once clicked will leak the Windows network credentials of the victim. Such attacks are possible because Zoom for Windows not only converts normal URLs into a clickable link but also Windows networking Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths. UNC is used to locate a network resource, such as a file hosted on an attacker-controlled SMB (Server Message Block) server. When

Morning, I was wondering if there is an easy way to force a single distribution server to perform a full re-sync? It appears that files located in "DesktopCentral_DistributionServer\replication\store" have been deleted by mistake.
