10.0.82 SOM installed status shown in red
I had an issue with an agent upgrading to 10.0.82 the update failed on the client I could not re push the agent. I had to completely delete the manage engine folder then manually download the agent and run the setup.bat file to be able to install the agent again. After this everything was working fine except that in the SOM where it says installed successfully is listed in red not black. see attached screen shot.

Remote control freeze's up
When connected to another PC, and trying to disconnect it freezes up and it locks up any open IE window on my PC. Only thing i can do is to use Task Manager to kill the IE session and even that sometimes doesn't work. So I have to restart my PC. This sometimes happens 2-3 times a day. This has started to happen in last 2 months only.
verifying agent is running and checked in.
We are setting up DTC to be deployed on our golden image so that when a new VM is cloned it already has the agent installed on it and once renamed the agent comes on and registers it self. My question is this. Is there a event ID or log created that the engineer building the new build has that confirms the DTC agent has spun up and checked into DTC correctly with out logging into the DTC GUI and checking SOM. We dont want the individuals building these VMs to have access to DTC it self. Make sense?
Auto assign owner for workstation
If the option "Auto assign owner for workstation (This is applicable only for Windows OS):" is set to "Assign the user who has logged in recently " is there any way to make an exception for machines that are "shared"? While for ~95% of our machines this would result in correct assignment, we have a handfull of machines that have many users that could log in, and i can't see a way to make that exception.
Symantec Endpoint Protection - warnings and exceptions
Desktop central flagged a warning saying check the SEP exceptions have been added, so I checked the exceptions and added every desktop central folder and .exe/.dll as per the knowledge base document. The agent troubleshooter still shows a warning against AV and links back to the exceptions knowledge base. I have double checked the exceptions all folders and .exe excluded from scans and realtime protection, but still get warnings about AV. So firstly does the troubleshooter just show the warning

Update 10.0.82 quark
I recently upgraded Desktop Central from 10.0.56 to 10.0.82 and noticed that in Google Chrome, the computer details under the inventory does not display. I have tired other browsers and the information is displayed correctly. Has anyone else run into this issue? I have no issue using a different web browser, but find it odd that IE and Firefox display the content correctly. Thanks, Jason
Agent Live Status
I am currently in the process of cleaning up my companies inventory in DC. I have roughly 73 machines that the "Agent Live Status" is reading as "down", or "Unknown" However, a lot of these machines have a last contact time of that day or some other time for any given week. I have tried to do an uninstall and then an install as this has worked in the past to reinstall the agent on a PC that I know is talking to the server. My question to the community is this. How would one go about getting those
Post Upgrade to 10.0.70
We recently upgraded our DC Server build to 10.0.70. Everything appeared to go well, except I noticed (via our Netflow monitor) that our domain controllers started sending data to computers with the DC agent installed in increments of 73 MB throughout the day. If I stop the DC server service, the domain controllers stop doing this. And as soon as I start the service again, it starts to do this again. I'm hoping there's someone else out there that's seen this behavior and that there's some quick
Created By field is incorrect
While submitting a ticket using the Desktop Central icon in the system tray, almost all of the tickets are stating they were created by one specific person. When I do into ServiceDesk and open the ticket, I look in the Request Details section, the created by field is always the same person even though they didn't create the ticket. I can create a ticket from my system and it exhibits the same issue (I'm the administrator of the system). I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and that didn't

Custom Report - Admin Users & Groups by Server
I found a report from last year here in the forums and modified slightly. I want to show both users & groups within the administrators group. Right now this report only shows users, but not the sub-groups. How do I add those as we manage many of our servers by ad domain groups. This would help with security and identify if any servers are misconfigured for admin access. select resource.name as computer_name,domain_netbios_name domain_name,invgroups.name as group_name,invsystemusers.caption as

Patching highly mobile devices
Ok, I have one for you. In DTC we have a hard time patching the PD Officer tablets, they are constantly on and off the network. So much so that some patches fail and others will not install because of the failed patch. Do they have a suggestion on patching highly mobile devices. Can an Officer dock the tablet and request a scan from the device and not have to wait for the server to run its 90 minute cycle? Can the MDC’s be set as a priority when they are communicating with the DTC server? Out of
Patch automation status lost
I am trying to use the Patch Automation feature. I scheduled a time, and my machines started to scan, although it seemed like they were going one at a time. Realizing how long it was taking, I decided to modify my configuration so it started earlier next week. After saving, however, I fully lost the in-progress patch task. When i click on the task, it just shows me blank info stating it will fill up next week. What happened to the in-progress patch task? Was it cancelled? is it still going but

Agent Settings to use external Server address
Hi Where we can set Agent setting to communicate DC correctly. We use Central DC server for clients within LAN AD and for travelling users. We use DNS records pointed to DC server for internal domain and external. As example - Internal DNS: dcserver.ad.company.com 10.24.1.1 dcserver.company.com 10.24.1.1 External DNS: dcserver.ad.company.com 195.168.1.1 dcserver.company.com 195.168.1.1 So, just need to have correct name in DC Agent setting...

eMail Notifications - Need to have my emails "look" like they are coming from Desktop Central - not from me
Hello, I have configured email alerts in several areas of the Desktop Central - like recently installed software for example. However - I have a real problem with how these alerts "look" (in Outlook 2016 etc) especially the "from" when the emails get sent from Desktop Central to an email address I have set up. I cannot find anywhere in DS to specifically say that administrative email is coming from desktopcentral@myserver.com - or any other "fabricated" address I might use. So when DS spits out

Replacement of "current" patches by Desktop Central
I have the following problem: I run patch tasks per APD once per month: 1x for testgroup and 2 weeks later 1x for all productive systems when no errors occured. My problem: Last week I deployed the latest Chrome version to my testgroup. Now I see that few days later Desktop Central has replaced this version I was just testing and which I want to go "live" next week. This is now impossible for me. Could you maybe keep the last 1-2 versions/patches of a program in the patch management? You now provide

Menu bar doesn't look right after 10.0.5 upgrade and 10.0.56 patch
After doing the update to 10.0.5 the top menu bar (Home, Configuration, Patch Mgt, Software Deployment) isn't displaying correctly. I've verified the issue is happening in IE, Chrom and Firefox). I've attempted to add a screen shot to this posting. To me it looks like the buttons are a little too big to fit in the space and Shouldn't the graphic show Desktop Central 10 since it's version 10? I've also installed the 10.0.56 patch which still didn't correct the issue. Please Advise, Shayne K
DC Server went down
Hello, I came into work today to my DC server being down. I logged into the server and restarted the service for the server and that did nothing. On a regular office work station it will load to the log in screen but will not let you log in. So, I did some digging and found that there was a hotfix made available recently. I was running version 10, so I downloaded the corresponding hotfix. Downloaded, and installed it and it didn't fix the issue that I am having. I also attempted to call the number
Configuration Manager - IP Printer - Windows 10
Hello, In my environment we do not have a domain so I use a configuration to deploy printers by IP. It worked great for XP and 7 however now that I'm moving to Window 10 I'm having issues.

Latest Hotfix Available
Hi Could someone please explain to me why I've just received an email telling me 10.0.56 is available but when I come to install it I get the "Currently not compatible with your network" message. I understand the reasons why latest releases are not available to larger installations. But to get the email , then go through the process of backing up etc and then get that message is a bit annoying to say the least. Mark
