Unable to get Agent installed and working
On most of the systems we have the Agent installation fails. When I install the Agent manually (by logging into Desktop Central from the machine and installing from the link at Admin;Scope), the installation seems to wkr, but the machine is not recognized by Desktop Central as having the Agent installed. I have disabled the firewalls on these machines and on the Desktop Central machine. All except two machines with the problem are in the same subnet, the other two have static routes to the subnet

Can Desktop Central Patch Itself?
I installed the client on the machine that Desktop Central is running on and it assembles the necessary patches, but it isn't able to apply them because it does so at boot time before the Desktop Central server is running. Is there a way to force that update package to run after boot? B. Moore

Uninstall Agent Problem
It isnt allowing me to uninstall the agent. When I try to uninstall the agent, it keeps on going to the "uninstallation failed" section. How do i overcome this error?

Software Push
We are pushing one app through Desktop Central. Desktop Central reports that the app push installed sucessfully on this one PC. Looking at the event viewer of the PC also reveals (MSIInstaller event) that the app installed successfully. However, each time we reboot the PC, we look into the event viewer and find an MSIInstaller event for the app, which leads us to think that it's being re-installed each time the PC is restarted. If this is so, does DC check to determine whether an app is installed

problem after running dbfix
Hi, I use DC in Workgroup env. After running dbfix script, we lost all data and we had to reconfigure all again, that's O.K because we were told that it would happen. But, after adding computers with the SOM, DC does not recognized that agents are already installed in the machines. I tried to install again, but it doesn't work. It looks like that I had to uninstall the agent locally in each computer, and install again from SOM. -brauner

confusing information at "Patch Summary - All Patches&
Hi, When I look at "Patch Summary - All Patches" list, I see many critical patch's that are so called missing, but it seems to be old patch files that were replaced by new one. see for example the attach picture, see lines: MS03-011, MS06-051, MS06-046. The list is confusing, I don't think I need to see old patch that are not relevant any more. -brauner
