Remote Desktop & Mobile Device Management Software for MSPs

Scheduled Patch Scanning Failure

Problem

You had scheduled a Patch Scanning, but it failed.

Cause

The Firewall running in the Desktop Central MSP Server might have blocked the data.

Resolution

Ensure that the Desktop Central Port (default is 8040) is added to the exceptions list. The steps include:

Goto Start --> Run --> type firewall.cpl --> Goto Exception --> Click on Add Port

Here in the name/port text fields, mention the port name and port numbers as 8040 or your server http port and 8041 or your secure https port respectively.
