Enable detection and removal of Google Extensions
Allow for detection and removal of Google Extensions. Syspanda ("Finding & Removing Malicious Google Chrome Extensions Via KACE K1000") describes a method for creating a Custom Software Detection, however it only seems to be applicable for a single user. This is not useful in a multi-user environment, such as classrooms or labs. Support suggested I post this suggestion, in addition to continuing to test/develop the script myself to compensate for multiple users, or to contact Professional Services.

Bypass UAC while running scripts
This is a follow up ticket to continue tracking an add on thread to a ticket which is now completed:
http://kace.uservoice.com/forums/82699-k1000/suggestions/1637531-uac-compatibilityBypass UAC while running scripts:
Running scripts as System does not involve UAC. If running scripts as a User, UAC applies. That case is still under consideration for a future release.79 votesYou are encouraged to vote on this ticket that was split out for a previous (closed ticket) that contained two different suggestions.

Have agent update K1000 when IP changes
I have a problem where employees with laptops cannot get software from the User Console Library because the IP address from their last inventory (up to 4 hours ago) does not match the IP the K1000 web interface is seeing.
For example I have about 50 scripts in the library to automate the installation of printers in Boston, New York, LA, and Dallas. I have smart labels configured so that if you check in on the Boston, NY, LA, or Dallas subnets you get that site label. I then limit all the scripts for the printers in each site to…

Allow turning off software discovery on chosen machines
There are situations when certain machine should have agent installed but software dscovery is causing problems when it comes to license compliance, like file servers. Ability to turn off software discovery or at least exclude drives/folders from it would be usefull.

Progress bar on patch deployment + Summary of patching
This idea is already published. It is marked as 'Completed', but there is still no progress bar, so I decided to create a new idea, because I don't know another way to respond to the status, so it will be recognized by Kace.
I would like to see a progress bar on the client while patching for the current patching job.
I think it would be enough for example if there are 10 patches to deploy, 6 are already finished, the progress bar would show 60% finished.
Maybe it is also a good idea to see a short summary which…

There needs to be an actual Agent for vmWare Host Servers.
Having go manually run scripts on over 50 host machines is cumbersome. It would be far less cumbersom to be ablel to push an agent to the vmWare Host Server and then never have to worry about inventories again.

Manual agent check in from client
I would love to be able to use a command switch to force a check-in from a client machine. Something like %INSTALLDIR%\AMPAgent.exe /checkin. This would be very handy for new machines trying to get updates and patches ASAP before being deployed to a new hire, for example.

Provide BIOS settings inventory
It would be nice to have the ability to inventory (and enforce) BIOS settings right from the KBox Appliance. Dell provides the CCTK utility to manage these features on supported systems. Having this utility integrated into the agent would give the ability to centralize management of BIOS setttings, provide compliance reports on BIOS settings and push out BIOS profiles. This would be wonderful.

Add Pre-Install and Post-Install Message to the Software Library Installs
