Hello From my understanding when you remote control to a device it is done through the central server. We have sites in various continents with a local IT team and a local distribution server who have performance issues when remote controlling their local machines. Is there a way of utilizing their local Distribution server instead of going through the central server?
Desktop Central connect - SDP Connect: Notes, Work Log, Resolution recorded under wrong user
As the title suggests, I have the Desktop Central/SDP Integration enabled and working, however when someone disconnects from a remote session, and it opens the dialogue for work log/resolution/notes, the user enters that info, but regardless of the user logged in, SDP reports the user that entered the info as one particular user. I.e. Alice, Bob and Charlie are SDP & DC users. Alice & Bob end individual remote sessions and fill out logs; SDP reports that Charlie was the author of both Alice and Bob's
install and run multiple ME products on one server VM

I have contacted the person I deal with on licensing issues and asked him to direct my questions to the appropriate person, but I thought it made sense to put the question out here. is anyone doing this? if so, how are yo handling

Configure a Scheduled Task as current domain user
Hello. I'm trying to deploy a Task Scheduler entry that will run as whatever current user is on the system deployed to. i.e. if I deploy to PC TEST01 and Dan Mulcahy is logged in there, the task will run as Dan Mulcahy's domain account. It needs to be dynamic as I would want to deploy to 60+ PCs on the domain. If I deploy the Task now, it can deploy OK when set to run as the SYSTEM user but this will not run properly on the PC itself. If I manually update the Task on the PC to run as a domain user,

best practices for Patching Windows Servers on a schedule using the new APD features
So i am trying to figure out what changes have been made to APD since .192 and how that effects my managed devices. My struggle here is we do not patch in mass. Instead we have a specific schedule for each device which has been arranged and agreed upon by Operations and the applicaiton owner. Schedule looks like this. Custom group A patches from midnight to 6 Am on Patch Tue +7 Days. Custom Group B patches at Midnight to 6AM on Patch Tue +12 Days typicly what i have done is on the monday before
How is every one else utilizing the new APD policies?
My requirements isnt that we patch on just a certain day of the week like a Saturday but it be a specific Saturday. Think of it Patch Tue + 11. With the new option of deploy patches X amount of days past approval i thought i would be able to achieve this by the below config Job is set to deploy patches 9 days after approval. Below is the deployment settings. Since timing of Weeks is based on the 1st of the month I have no way to predict via automation which week the Patch Tue +11 is going to fall

Desktop Central Automatically Moving Configuration to Trash
An automated task is running at 5AM resulting in configurations being deleted by "DC-System-User" This is undesired, as these configurations are targeted to AD groups, which deploy software and/or configurations dynamically as objects are added to those groups in AD. These configurations need to remain active, and currently I have to check the trash to find what else got deleted today, then save it as new since there is no option to undelete from trash.

Deploy Trillian
I have been Trying to deploy Trillian from the premade template and it does not work. First before even deploying it asked for the uninstall switch. Then after contacting support, they gave me the switches but that still did not allow me to deploy the software. When I deploy this I get the system can not find file specified error. Again I have contacted support with this but all they told me based on the logs was the software was not installed which I knew it was not since my goal is installing.

Patch Clean up for old patches
I have my patch cleanup to remove old patches that not missing. But the issue with this is I have some servers that show missing patches but we are not patching these pc's. But since it shows patches missing these missing patches seem to not get removed from the patch store. Before I migrated to the new APD I would have it so my servers would not scan as they were set to be excluded from the APD. But now that scan is happening automatically these servers are getting scanned for missing patches.
