Our WAN Circuit changed along with public IP - Can't figure out where to change WAN IP setting
We changed our WAN provider, and the IP address on our WAN circuit has changed. DesktopCentral is still looking for the old WAN IP address, even though I have updated our FQDN for the server on public DNS. The 'DC Server Sec IP Address' setting is coming up incorrect in the troubleshooter. Does anyone know where this can be changed to point to our new correct WAN IP?
Manage Engine's Desktop Central "Server Host OS"
I've used Manage Engine's Desktop Central Pro (MEDCP) for almost a decade, in different institutions where I've recommended it and migrated from Microsoft's proprietary Systems Management Server to MEDCP. I LOVE IT, evangelize about it, and so the people that I've left it to manage after I'm gone...! However, we've noticed that MEDCP's "Server" is built using a combination of Java and other Open Source components; not so the Workstations-OS specific add-ons. Therefore, at first glance, one would
Installation on a computer scope but as a currently logged on user
Hi, we have an application that can be only installed under the user profile. But we cannot deploy this with a Desktop Central "per user" Installation or Custom Script, since our users logon to multiple computers within certain period. So what I need is an Installation or Custom Script configuration that would only be applied for a short period for a confined scope of computers (custom group) BUT has to run once as the user logs on to this computer with his/her credentials. Any ideas how to achieve
SQLServer2014-KB4019091-x64.exe keeps failing to install although Windows Update says it is not needed....
Desktop Central keeps telling me my server, port-svr-cfm needs the patch SQLServer2014-KB4019091-x64.exe, however, if you do a Windows Update scan on the server itself, it is not needed. If I try to install it on the server, it keeps failing with Unknown Error. Code : -2068643838. This is causing the server to stay in a Vulnerable state, making our reports for the month wrong. Please help? Todd

New Install on Server
I did my evalution of the trial product on my local computer. Now when licensed and on the Server, I do not see the 25 computers that have the manageEngine agent from the Trial version. Do I need to go in onto each computer and remove the trial agent and let the Server install take it from there? Is there a way to remove or change the agent using DC on those 25 computers ? I'm thinking there is, I just need a nudge!!

Hitting major snag applying latest patch to desktop central.
This will be the first time trying to apply a patch to desktop central with the failover service enabled. If you stop the service on the main server and try to apply the update you will get an error that the failover service needs to be stopped. If you stop the failover service you will get an error saying that the failover service needs to be reachable to apply the update. After finding this out, our primary server will not start anymore. running off the failover now. I tried reaching out to support

patch 22973 "SQL2014 SP2 GDR Update" keeps want to install even though our SQL is higher version
why DC keeps pushing patch that is not meant for the version of SQL2014.. when manually installing we are getting notification that our version is patched. "The SQL Server patch package is part of a general distribution release (GDR). This package cannot be applied since this SQL Server feature has already been patched. To continue, you must install higher version of the SQL Server Patch.

After changing the Notification Server Port ( Admin > Server Settings ) how do I update the agents to use the new port?
