DC patching not honoring "Deploy after X days from release
We use an automated patching policy whereby a subset of our computers are members of a patch management test group ("PMTG"). That group is not supposed to get those patches until they've been released for seven days. My computer is a member of that group and DC patched it 16.0.13001.20384 this morning when it was only released yesterday (see link below). Is anyone else experience the same?

How do I change the FQDN of the Desktop Central Server?
I just migrated my Desktop Central Server over to a new server that I will will be moving over to our DMZ. Game plan is to end up patching machines that are not on our network using a Public IP. Anyways, when I migrated my server using the migration utility I forgot to use the FQDN that I had set up on our network and I used the server name by accident. Now that everything is migrated over to the new server I cannot figure out how to make the agents contact the DC server using a FQDN rather than

Setting Registry Key in pre-deployment does not work
Hi all, I am currently frustrated: Before a SW installation I need to modify a specific registry key. I cannot create a "Configuration Collection" with Regsitry-Config + "Install SW" because There is no "Install SW" in collections. :( (By the way - why not??) So I tried pre-deployment action: I can only CHECK for a key, but I cannot modify it! :( So I created a batch-script with content: reg.exe add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration" /v UpdateUrl /t REG_SZ /d

Remote Control - Issues/Agent Connectivity
Hi We have Desktop Central 9 setup and we have our primary server IP as the LAN Address and the secondary as the external IP. We find that when we go to carry out remote control sessions, the users computer is showing as online, but when we try to connect the agent immediately shows as offline. Many of our users are remote and off our domain so i need to ensure that remote control is working (where possible as we cannot control 3rd party firewalls) The agent then comes back online after a few minutes.

Why are all my agent system tray icons grayed out
All my agent icons are grayed out. I right clicked on a grayed out agent and ran the troubleshooter, and it says everything is fine. When I try to remote control an agent, I get an error saying "Unable to establish connection with agent". I can run a scan of the workstations and the scan succeeds, so I know the server is talking to the workstation. I checked and port 8443 is open on the server, but not on the workstations. Does it need to be open on the workstations too? Any idea why
