[OPLINTECH] Windows Automatic Update Issue

[Chad Neeper]

I definitely 2nd Mark's comment about making sure your DF (or DFE) version
is current.

We use DFE more than DFS. It's a little unusual/quirky as far as console
management programs go, but once you understand it you're fine. It's not
too difficult. It allows you to centrally manage, update, and schedule
tasks/events on the DF workstations. If you have more than a tiny handful
of DF computers, DFE and the DFE Console is a useful tool to have at your
disposal.

It's worth noting that I've used DFE for years and there is now a
web-based/cloud-managed version of DF. I've *not* tried the web-based
console. So that may or may not be a better option! (One of these days,
I'll get around to trying it.)

2 cents,
Chad
