Win7
Hello, Per a previous post a few months ago I reported that servicedesk did launch correctly in Win7 RC1 or RTM. (At the least with AD Auth/Pass through enabled which how I have mine setup. There is a workaround that someone posted in the thread regarding modifying a settings in your local secpol.msc). That thread is gone apparently but SD support advised Win7 compatability would be implemented in the 7.6 release. Can we get a confirmation this is still the case? It would be nice since Win7 is

Tech cannot access Requests for Group he is a member of
I have two Technicians, who are members of a group containing 10 people, who cannot access the tickets assigned to that group. The screen hangs, with no error, when they click the Request link to access. Noone else in the group has any issue accessing the same Requests. The tickets open quickly for these others and allow editing. All are in the same location on the same subnet.
Feature Requests
1. Ability to hide the default request template. 2. Ability to assign request templates to certain requestors.
contracts: increase 'notify before' period from 90 to 120 days
Hello We have maintenance contracts where we have to cancel the contract at least 3 months before the end of the contract in order to avoid that it is renewed automatically for another year. Due to this reason, setting a notification 90 days before is too short. When setting more than 90 days, we get the error message 'a notification can be sent no more than 90 days before' How can I change the rules in order to be able to set 120 days for the 'notify before' field? Thanks a lot Best regards, Marc

Hi, I have Op Manager Premium Edition 8 (WinServer2003). Now I want to implement a configuration managment database (CMDB), so I tried the demo of Service Desk Plus Enterprise Edition, but I could'nt find that I'm looking for.

SD+ (7.5.0 Build 7513) Sending API call to a Pick list field not picking up the value being provided.
I have another app that I would like to send info to open a ticket using the API. I can get everything else to work except pick list to pick list. I have mirrored our group/category/Sub Category/items to be the same on both sides so that when a user selected the group etc it sends over the same value to the SD+ pick list. I have tried everything I can think of and it just doesn't work? From the other system I can have a pick list go into a text filed no problem but not pick list to pick list? Is

History not updated when attached file is modified
We have a process where a ticket is automatically generated, a report is run and the report is attached to the ticket, then closed. However, there is NO history recorded when the attached file is deleted, modified or re-attached. This creates a loss of accountability, since the report could have been modified and re-attached without anyone knowing.
sending mail to other sites
Hello, I have 3 sites who handles different requests. Some are created by email. Now I want requests from a special sender to automaticly be assign to a special que.

Requesters and Active directory
I am stuck at the requesters tab. I can't import AD since I (assume) don't have permissions (domain level as servicedesk plus puts it) on the domain controller to import the accounts. I try to import a "csv" file that has all the users that would be considered requesters. I am not sure about the self service access details. I don't have the passwords (nor would I want), to all the accounts I want to import. The second question I have is since this is a list of active directory accounts can

Reply include name of tech replying...
I noticed we have $Technician and many other variables that we can put in our responses. I was looking to see if there is a way that we can put in the name of the signed in tech who is sending the message. Right now we can do the technician that is assigned the request, but not the person who may be replying to or forwarding on a message that may not be the technician who has been assigned the request. Hope this makes sense. Thanks, Carlos S. Del Castillo
