Questions

2. Configurations are not applied properly after upgrading to the latest Service Pack. Why?

One possible reason could be that the Desktop Central agents in the client computers are not upgraded to the latest. Whenever there is a change in the version, it gets automatically upgraded during the next user logon in the client machines. It should be noted that the user should have the same or higher privileges as that of the user on whose account that the Desktop Central agent was initially installed. Check the Agent version from Admin --> Scope of Management link.

3. How do I install a Service Pack or Hotfix to Desktop Central?

Download the latest Service Pack or the Hotfix from our website and follow the instructions below to install them:

  1. Shut down Desktop Central. (either through Start --> Programs -->ManageEngine Desktop Central 6--> Stop Desktop Central or Right click Desktop Central logo on the Notification area of Task bar and click Shut down Server)

  4. Click "Browse" and select the.ppm file that you have downloaded.
  5. Click "Install" to install the service pack. This may take few minutes depending on the amount of data that needs to be migrated.
