Question: I recently migrated to Central Server for both programs and it works great. Depending on my location I will use my laptop using Client mode and my "normal" AD account, or RDP directly into the server with my .admin account. This causes license warnings in the app. Does "Scout's Honor" apply here? 9:13

Question: I use one set of credentials for scanning in Deploy and another set for Inventory due to firewall restrictions. (I currently have a feature request in with the manufacturer.) I have the default users set correctly in both Inventory and Deploy, but I frequently get failures because it is using the wrong credentials. Any tips? 23:33

Question: Hypothetically, if one were to copy the wrong database to the other AdminArsenal folder (since it's named the same and it's the holidays and we might be slightly whisky buzzed during after-hours maintenance), what happens? Explosion, or just errors? 31:01

Question: Let’s hypothetically pretend that every single one of the packages I’ve created over the last year calls for files in user profiles. Is there a good way to move that to a network location in preparation for keeping this more network-friendly when we add and license my IT counterpart to the fray? 31:54

Question: How can we speed up the responsiveness between PDQ and DNS? It's taking a long time for PDQ to recognize computers. 33:23

Question: Is there a way to optimize PDQ connecting to a computer? It's taking us about a minute to connect before each scan or package runs. 34:26

Question: What are the best practice to move an "OLD" installation which did not use the $(Repository) and all the packages have absolute paths? 37:17
