Delete patch temp files when completed.
After our first round of server patches after DC implementation it came to light that patches are not being removed after they have been patched. Is there a setting in DC that will delete the patches after they have been applied to the server/workstation? This will help prevent getting disk usage alerts.

Patch management and triggers - best practices?
I'm looking to setup some patch management that will scan, download, and install. After that deployment, I would like to start a timer/trigger for the next round> Example: 1. Scan>Download>Install by IP range, nightly. 2. 4 days later deploy these updates to a different set of IP's. 3. 7 days later deploy the another set of IP's. I'm looking to keep the care and feeding of my tiered deployment schedule to something I don't need to babysit everyday, other than looking for some initial errors. Even

Desktop Central continues to offer wrong patches for Windows 10 versions
I am in the process of patching our Windows 10 boxes for the July patch cycle. ALL Windows machines are running the Anniversary Update (v1607) here - yet DS continues to think that we need a v 1507 patch. What is the issue with Desktop Central not knowing what version of Windows it is targeting? I have a half dozen machines here that always need this hand holding - I would have thought the system would have figured out to correctly identify a Windows client OS version number by now. Any ideas? Bruce

Updates on Windows 7 causing several computers to get stuck at "stage 3 of 3" for hours
Hello, We use ManageEngine Desktop Central to push out all of our Windows Updates and various third party updates regularly. I have a number of computers that we recently installed a string of updates on, where more than half of them had this issue. These are all Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit machines.

Patch Deployment at Windows Log on Screen
We have within our network a handful of PC's that run Deep Freeze which prevents any configuration changes to a device while in a "frozen" state Therefore in order to apply windows updates we have to set up a maintenance period for these devices within the Deep Freeze software.

GeoIP Block on patch downloads
We rarely, if ever have any issues with patch management or downloads of patches. However, we do GeoIP blocking and we've seen 2 IPs that are source locations for patch downloads outside of the United States. These are: 202.153.32.19 211.79.60.17 A quick whois on them says they belong to Excell-Net out of India. Is there a way to get all patches re-located to the United States or are there some that come from India and there's nothing we can really do about that? I just wanted to check before I have

Security Rollups in Desktop Central - cumulative or not?
Hi, According to Microsoft, Quality Rollups are cumulative, but Security Rollups are not. In Desktop Central, however, when I go to approve older rollups in order to catch up, they are greyed out and a tooltip advises that the update is disabled because it has been superseded. Does this mean that Desktop Central security rollups are cumulative after all? Thanks.

Desktop Central patch filters
Good Morning, Filters seemed to have stopped working in our Desktop Central instance after upgrading. Before, we could filter out patches based on OS and application, but now, those filters don't seem to work. The filters for "release Date" seem to work. If I set up a filter for updates on Server 2012 R2, I will receive updates for all Windows Operating systems. The same happens with applications like .Net updates. Anyone else having this issue? It was working prior. Thank you! :D Thank you

Generate patch summary 10.0.93
I just updated my server to 10.0.93 and notice that under the all system view. I noticed that when I refresh the page computers that were either scanned then patched that had missing patches or computer that were scanned and have missing patches just show up. As before if I refresh the page I would have to generate an patch summary to show the updated changes in missing patches. Any reason why I do not get this prompt anymore?
