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

Patches Fail To Download
Hey Guys, We are running Desktop Central 5 with the latest and greatest patches on our network and are having consistant trouble trying to retrieve some patches from the repository. For example: During last nights scan I had it draft me a copy up of all the patches needed through the network. I went in this morning and took out the ones I did not want to apply at this time. Then deployed the draft. It failed several times while downloading. So I have to go in there and see which ones are failing

Agent Installed but not registered
We have just installed a version 5 deployment on a new server we are suppling. Everything seems to be ok. Whilst trying to install onto the server (itself)The agent will push install, and manually install as well as uninstall, however the only recorded action is the uninstall. The folder is created ok, but in the scope of management etc, the server shows up as not installed. Any ideas why the two aren't talking to each other properly?
Manage Multiple OUs / Mulitple AdvAgentInstall GPOs
I am a Data Administrator within a larger domain, and would like to manage only the OU I am in control over. I have all the required permissions for this OU, and to create GPOs.

How can I configure my Desktop Central installation to use a different GPO? We have a specific naming convention and would like to manually enter the name I would like to use.
Outside of Lan Connections
We have a few computers that sit outside of our network. We are looking to monitor these computers as well. Can this be done with desktop central? Are there modifications that be done to make the external clients look for an IP address to connect to and if so what port routing would need to be carried out so that all the features would work. We have access to the firewalls at both ends. We have been testing Desktop central and it works great for our internal usage, and we would really like to extend

Timeframe On New Release
Can you give the forum a status on where the next release is? Our organization is under pressure to begin supporting Vista (32 and 64-bit) and with Desktop Central not ready yet, its becomming more difficult to justify continued expense. This also puts into focus the necessity of (all) vendors to be ready when new OS launches. Vista was been out to OEM since mid-January. Your now at the fifth month mark. Why exactly AdventNet hasn't been ready five months after release makes the case harder, not

Software Install
I am testing the software; I have set up an install to install the windowsdefender.msi on a both per computer and per user basis. The file is in the Inventory. I get an error which says "This installation package could not be opened.

Is there a reason why it would not install the windowsdefender.msi or is there something wrong with my set up? Thanks
