Faulty Managed Desktop WAM pages removed from service

Two WAM pages in the Managed Desktop category do not currently work properly. These pages are:

  • Delete W7 Service PC
  • Advertise Software W7 Service PC

To avoid confusion the pages have been removed or partially disabled until we are able to resolve the issues with them. The changes and alternatives available to you are as follows:

Delete W7 Service PC

This page is still available, however the option to delete the PC from the AD has been disabled as it does not work. You can still use this page to delete PCs from SCCM, however remember that the PC must be in one of your lab or staff collections for you to have permission to do so.

Advertise Software W7 Service PC

This page has been removed from service (although ITS staff will still be able to access it), as it does not appear to be working. Please submit a case if you require software to be advertised to a specific PC, or use the Software Requests system to request software for an entire lab(s).

Apologies for the inconvenience. We will let you know once the pages are available again.

If you have any queries regarding this, please submit a case to it.services@lboro.ac.uk.
