I am trying to install software on a Vista machine. The software is set to install as the console user. The computer is not updating within Console to show that a user is logged on. Is there a script I can run to force the machine to update the Console?

This is one of the problems I've seen with DAgent. Unfortunately, because you are running on Vista, you don't have a choice but to use the DAgent. My experience to get it to update is to refresh the agent by either going in as if you are going to make settings changes and just hitting ok (right-click computer in console, Change Agent Settings, Production Agent, then just click ok). That usually forces the DAgent to refresh. Otherwise, you might be able to do dagent -restart (not sure if that works or not, I know you can do that for the AClient).

I don't seem to be still having this problem with the newest DAgent.
