System Tools don't work
We are using Desktop Central and are finally getting around to set up some maintenance. We can not get any of the System Tools to work. I have only been trying for the last 4 hours, and have been having the software run the programs (Defrag, Check Disk, and Cleanup) at a scheduled time a few minutes after I finish setting up the scheduled task, or I have been running them on startup, or login. None of them seem to work. I have left the clients idle for a few hours to make sure they had time to run.

Inventory Fails to scan
I have an XP desktop running in a domained environment with DC 5 loaded on it. I puched the agent to nine other computers on the domain. I then went to inventory to scan the machines. They all fail except for my machine. Five of the machines did not get the agent so I understand why they don't inventory but WHY don't the other 4 inventory? I can remote connect to them with the remote option. They are Windows 2000 or XP machines. John MCCLun

Sort Execution Status
We would like the capability to sort the Execution Status Reports of applications that we push. In other words, we would like to sort the results by clicking on each of the column headers. Also, if we modify a configuration that has been deployed, we lose the history of successful and failed installs. How can we be able to view all previous results from a configuration? macintel

Inventory/scan failure
I have just a single machine (out of 10) in which I get a scan failure when doing inventory. I've tried uninstalling the agent and reinstallling, but get the same results. I am using build 50010 and the application log on the client machine shows and app error that dcinventory.exe faulted etc. In looking at the scan logs, the devicescanlogger.log seems fine; all results are listed and the final statement states that it's posted the data to the server.

Is there a need for a Domain Controller or not?
Hi guys! I'm new to this tool. I have a simple question about Desktop Central. Is it necessary to have a domain (+controller) to use this tool? Or is it perfectly possible to run it on a normal workgroup? Because at home I have 3 Desktops and 1 Laptop and it should be very handy to use the capabilities what Desktop Central has to offer...
SoM by IP
Is it possible to have future editions of Desktop Central to manage scopes by IP ranges? It would make it much easier to specifiy a range of IPs for to push out agent installation rather than dealing with computer names. macintel
How do I remove inactive users and computers
My system showes 499 users, while we have only c 215. there are old users no longer logging onto our domain - how do I remove them? I also have computers which are no longer part of our domain - do these come off when I do a domain scan? What about if I change the name of a computer form say Harry to Bob. Will this change show up in Desktop Central? thanks John

Bug: Inventory Filter Selection Dropdown Behaviour
The Filter Selection Dropdown changes back to "All" from "Unidentified" when you assign Software Type or Category. Pete Wason
Suggestion/Update/Question
Suggestion: Individual Software Inventory Items should have an "Info" or "Comments" field for notes about the particular package. Update: Since applying sp11, I can now inventory (!), except on a few machines which are obviously not configured correctly. Question: Why is it that a product like iQNetScan (from iQuate) can do approximately the same thing as DesktopCentral without using any agents? It costs almost the same as DC, BTW. Pete Wason
I cannot get into my parental control

Scan failed in all workstations
Hi, I have installed Dektop Central 5 in my small domain (1 server and 10 workstations). The server is Windows 2003 with AD (portuguese) and the workstations are Windows XP (english and portuguese). The Desktop Client engine was installed sucessfully, but when I try to scan the network, it says that the workstations are down. I just installed the recent posted Service Pack (posted in 4th. september) and nothing. How can I solve it? Thanks in advance, Ricardo Silva

can't install agent because client is down, except it's not
I've spent the better part of my afternoon trying to get Desktop Central to work. It seems to install ok, but there's no way I can't get the agent to install. DC keeps telling me that my clients are down, but they're not!? I read about the firewall port exceptions, applied them and as this didn't work, I just turned off the firewall. But even after doing this, I still can't get the agent on my clients. As I'm really looking forward to testing DC, all help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in

Patch management load on startup / login speed
I have some questions about the overhead in terms of start up time/log on time when I use scripting to carry out functions like patch management, and the general communication between the desktop support client and the server. I work in a school environment where start-up/login time & shut down time is an issue � it eats into short 30 min lesson periods. When the patch management is running, does it start to download patches during start-up/log-on or does it wait until the user is signed in? If downloading
