Startup-Running Config Snapshot
Seems to have broken in build 5510. Where as in build 5500 you could click on the devices in conflict and select "Copy Running To Startup" (although you can still do this) the task will show as being complete but it doesnt actually work and the number of devices in conflict stays the same. Scott.

Compliance Check function on Device Expert
The current function for Compliance Check is simply compared our policy to the current configuration. The idea is the comparison function from some output results. For example, on Cisco device, show version command generates software version result, and we can set a policy based on the show command output.

Template for Cisco ACE Module (Multi Context)
First of all let me say thanks for this really great piece of code. We are currently in the process of implementing DE in a Multi-Tier Datacenter environment. We are running the 5100 Build and i am missing a Template for the Cisco ACE Module in Multi Context Mode. There also seems to be a Multi Context Template for the ASA but not for the FWSM but i guess you can use the ASA Template for the FWSM as well. So what do i have to do to get a dedicated ACE and FWMS Multi Context template integrated into

Import devices from OpManager
We are currently evaluating Deviceexpert and have a large network with 100+ sites each with their own class C network. We are using OpManager which all of our devices are currently loaded. Is there any way of not having to setup each device again? Also we would like to only have to add a new device once in either opman or Deviceexpert as it seems like there will be alot of double entry.

Change alert email sent but does not show
Good afternoon I receive alert emails for changes made by our engineers in our routers and switches configuration files. However, when I check the daily configuration change details, these changes can not be found. I have already checked the related change management rules and found nothing wrong. Any ideas why the changes indicated in the alert emails do not show in the daily view of the devices?
Importing configuration files?

Automatic reload after uploading config?
We have a large project we are doing this weekend which requires us to push new configuration files to all our customer routers. We would like to schedule it to start a certain time and after the upload we need to have the routers do a reload. Is there a way for DeviceExpert to issue a reload to a router after an upload? The other question is how do I schedule a upload, I only see backup as an option under the schedules section in the Admin section.

Cisco ASA Backup via SSH --> always unsync
Hallo, I have a problem using Device Expert. I am backing up a Cisco ASA 5520 configuration file via ssh (no tftp possible). Problem: With sh run snmp community string only shows asterisks. Sh startup shows snmp community string in clear text. --> Therefore Device Expert always says configuration would not be synced. Is there any chance to edit the command for backing up running config? If I could use "more system:running-config" instead of show running command, community string within running config
Cisco CS11501
Does Device Expert support Cisco CS11501? I don't see a template in the selection and the copy command is slightly different from the other devices: CS11501 - copy startup-config tftp a.b.c.d CSS11501 filename Others - copy startup-config tftp://a.b.c.d/3901_ConfigFile.txt I think the backup is failing because of the different syntax. Please advise. Thanks.

A advice for DeviceExpert!
hello, I knew the feature of DeviceExpert that it use a simple script to configure mutil-devices. And there are three roles to administer DeviceExpert. But it can't administer a device use different role account with a DeviceExpert's acount. It means that there are dialectic relation between DeviceExpert's accounts and device's accounts. The key point is that different role account of devices could execute different commands. It can be carried out by a radius server. However, the device can only

Feature: Delay Backup after Syslog Message
Hi, it would be great if you could somehow code the ability to define a delay for the backup of a device after change notification into DE. Example: You configure something in CLI, finish it and then return to privileged mode. The moment you leave the config mode the device sends the syslog message to the DE Server which results in an immediate backup of the device. Problem is that we issue a "copy run start" or "wr" more or less the same time and have concurrent access to the flash file system resulting
