How can I turn off the popup notifications on the client desktop machine?
I am test driving the Desktop Central system on a couple of machines, and i note that the popup notification comes up a great deal. How can I turn this off?
Is there a way to stop automatic updates for particular machines?
We have a few wallboards that a cell centre use for statistics. However, when the ManageEngine popups come up, asking to restart for updates, it blocks an important part of the wallboard. Is there a way to install updates say once a fortnight, or stop the popup altogether for these particular wallboards? We would like to avoid placing these machines into a separate OU and applying different update schedules to that OU.

New APD patch approval process
So i see we have some newer patch approval processes where you have test groups where you approve patches that have been tested in lower environments. So what happens when a patch is only required in prod? Say there is a third party patch that is only available in prod? Do those just not get approved? We have a largish number of configs so its not unforseable that a patch would not actually be in our dev environment. Most will but its not 1 to 1. So how do we deal with that scenario?

Desktop Central EC2 Server in a AWS - Private AZ and public Network Load Balancer question
Hi everyone, I currently have a ticket open but would like to see if anyone has found a solution. Placed my DC Server in a private subnet with a route to my NAT Gateway. I have created the proper security group with all necessary ports (per ME's docs for DC) and attached it to the EC2 instance. The connectivity tests all pass. Placed a network load balancer in a public subnet (same AZ and using an elastic IP passing all the TCP port requests) and registered the private EC2 as a target (configured

Why does the distribution server replicate the same configuration every time?
I have a template setup with about 5 different software that I need to deploy to a new computer. Most the time it is to just one pc then later I might have to deploy to another. I noticed that every time I go to redeploy the template that it has to replicate all the software to the distribution server even though that DS already has the software stored in its repository. Is there a better way to redeploy a template so that it won't have to replicate every software in the configuration every time?
Extenuation of Static IP issues on VMware running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 OS

Attention, Windows 7 and Windows server 2008 R2 users! Meltdown, Spectre bugs can still sting you! (CVE-2018-1038 & KB4100480)
Meltdown and Spectre bugs that could give away data in the protected memory were discovered recently. Microsoft's kernel patch fixes in January and February meant the dangers were allayed, but Sweden based researcher Ulf Frisk says, "no"! Who's at risk? Users with Windows 7 x64-based systems or Windows 2008 R2 server, who have installed any of the servicing updates released during or after January 2018 are prone to remote code execution and elevation of privilege. How is the vulnerability exploited?

Any news about function "scan drivers to update" ?
Hi Do you have any news to integrate in dc a new function to "detect and update drivers for desktop"? Dc works very well for patch Microsoft and other software, in a single console. But for drivers, management is not concentrated.

Do you have an eta for this? please In the first place, the important thing would be to have
Automated Patch Deployment... no scheduler?
In build 10.0.205 which I have deployed to fix a different issue, you have removed the scheduler from automated patch deployment. Please advise how for example, can I patch a group of servers next week with the latest updates they will require? Previously I could scan and download the patches without deployment, then patch the servers separately in batches. I also do the same for workstations, where I patch 10% of our estate on any given day so as not to overload the bandwidth on any site, using
Question Regarding Features
We are looking to moving towards DC for our remote troubleshooting and patching. I have a few questions: - Does DC allow connecting to endpoints for remote management when those endpoints are NOT connected to our VPN? - Does DC allow us to setup a software package to begin copying over to endpoints for pre-deployment? I.e. create the package and as endpoints connect, they will pick up the package? Secondly, can this be done with only internet connection and not a VPN connection? I'm hoping that we

I can download it from MS but my patch DB is failing when trying to dl. The rest downloaded just fine. I did notice that this patch DB shows that patch as 16 megs but MS has it at over 300. Seems 16 meg for a rollup is very small.
