Feature Enhancements in Focus

Automate Warranty Check of Dell, HP and Toshiba Computers and Get Better Visibility

Desktop Central will now automatically update the warranty details of the computers from the vendor’s website. This automation is currently included for Dell, HP and Toshiba computers and will be extended to other vendor computers subsequently.

Clone a Deployed Configuration and Save Time

Consider a case where you wish to redeploy a configuration for the failed targets or deploy a configuration to a different set of computers without disturbing the original configuration. You will have to redefine a configuration which can be time-consuming. You can now save existing configurations as new configurations and free yourself from doing to all over again.
