import from CSV monitors and assign a resource
Hello I wanted to import a csv file monitors. When importing I choose user or department but I can not find the resource to which it can be assigned. Is it possible to add a field assignment to a resource when importing from a CSV file? Now I have to manually assign monitors and the large amount of equipment I'm losing a lot of time on this.

Servicedesk Plus SSL move to another server
Hi I have now tried for a week by reading all the guides I could find on how to move SD+ to a new server. I have the latest build 8217 on both servers (live with SSL and certificate installed and a new one clean installation with the same build 8217). After taking the backup on the live server, I copy the full .data file to the new server (which is working fine). I shutdown SD+ on the new server, run the restore.bat under ...\bin. Restore completes without any errors. Now when I start SD+ again
Can't Copy/Paste from Clipboard into editor using IE since 8217 upgrade
Has there been a change to Service Desk Plus from 8213 to 8217? I upgraded to 8217 (from 8213)over the weekend and now I cannot paste images from the clipboard into requests, changes, solutions, etc. This used to work. When I try to right click in the body of the editor using Internet Explorer, Paste is grayed out.. This has been working for many months. Chrome and Firefox work fine. IE 8 and IE9 produce the same result. We use this extensively and unfortunately using different browsers in our

Rejecting Ad-Hoc Support Requests Sent to ServiceDesk Plus by Email
In some environments having a support email account that users can simply email their requests can be a real headache. You tend to get all sorts of random requests and it is a real drain on the technicians to classify and find the 'real' issues. In some situations it would be preferable to have end users log their request via the self-service portal but have all subsequent communications regarding a valid Request by email. So how do you keep the advantages of being able to use the email features
API Key section missing
We are starting to play with the iOS and Android versions fo the client for Servicedesk plus, however we have one technician (ME!) who cannot generate the API Key because the API Key section when editing a technician is missing, aka not showing.

Multiple company support. Help!
I'm looking for some advice on how to handle the following scenario: We support multiple clients - mostly banks and credit unions. We could receive an email ticket from multiple end-users, all tied to a single company. How would I tie multiple 'requesters', to a single 'company'? I want to be able to query to get all tickets for ABC Credit Union, which could include requests from a variety of individuals. I have not found an efficient way to handle multiple requesters for a single organization. Is

Resolved Problems not Auto-closing after 3 days
I'm using ServiceDesk Plus 8.2.0 Build 8208. If I mark a problem as "Resolved" it doesn't auto-close in 3 days. It works fine for incidents but not for problems. Is this a setting issue or is it working as designed?
Automated Removal of AD user accounts
Is there a way to set ServiceDesk to automatically remove disabled AD accounts from the Requester list when doing the AD import? If this is on the roadmap, what is the ETA on having this implemented? It is a pretty important feature as we need to manually perform this task on a regular basis.
Extra username and password prompt before actual login?
Hey guys, I'm not sure this issue is due to: 1. A hack 2. A security update 3. The fact i upgraded to 8.1.0.7 recently The problem? Since a few days everytime i browse to my Servicedesk-site (locally installed on server), i get a additional password box: To be clear: Annuleren = Cancel in Dutch If i type in my username and password, no effect, the box keeps popping up again. I tried with and without the domainname... so, eventually i press Cancel on this prompt, and i'm brought at the home login
Auto-Email replies from SDP
Is there a way to select certain requesters from receiving reply emails from SDP. We have a few monitoring applications including OpManager which logs a ticket when trhesholds are met. When the ticket is created, SDP sends a notification to OpManager that the ticket has been created. OpManager does not have its own email address so Exchange then sends a reply to SDP that the user does not exist. The reply from Exchange is then sent to the technicians also. This is creating a lot of extra emails within

Windows Server Licencing
Hello, I am looking for the best way to manage and report on Windows server licencing in SD+ We have a mixture of server versions 2003 Standard 2008 Standard 2008 R2 and 2012 R2. We currently have more instances of Server 2003 installed than we have 2003 licences for, however we are covered from a Microsoft Licensing point of view as we have more than enough Server 2008 licences to cover them. Likewise 2008 R2 and 2012 R2. When I run the Purchased v Installed software report it shows under licensed

Duplicate Requestor
We had an issue with our email server and since then, we have duplicate requestors with different login IDs. The original lists their AD profile/user IDs. The duplicates have their email address listed as their sign-in ID. In addition, a large number of Dist Lists also came over as Sites. I went through the entire list of Requestors and deleted the duplicate entries that were wrong and did not contain all the information (Site, Dept, etc). When I view the list of Requestors, there are no duplicate

Unable to Change Database from Mysql to MSSQL
I am wanting to update my ServiceDesk Installation from MySQL to MSSQL. I had completed the update to the most current build and performed a full backup of the database followed by running the change database script in the bin folder which successfully makes a connection to the SQL 2012 Server and creates the database along with the tables after the restart of the ServiceDesk Application. I then start the restore which is where problems start occuring. I run the restoredata.bat file and point

Microsoft CRM and ServiceDesk Plus Integration
Hi All, We are planing to build an ITIL system and ServiceDesk Plus seems it will fits our requirements. But as you guess it can't support every functionality. For example we want to use Microsoft CRM to store customer list. So i am looking for an integration between Microsoft CRM and ServiceDesk Plus. But API seems very light; only create or updates tickets. Can we use API to query ServiceDesk Plus database or push data to ServiceDesk Plus? Any information will be help very much
Allow Privileged Manager to remove or update survey results
Use Case: Requester accidentally misreads the survey rankings and marks low when they meant to mark high or vice versa. After a conversation with the requester, a manager should be able to either remove or update the individual survey result.
Cant logon to Demo

Can someone tell me why. the firewall is off for the domain profile. What ports need to be opened? Any help would be
Need "notification to Group technicians" option for closed requests.
Currently when a request is closed, the only Technician Notification option is to notify a specific list of techs. It would be better to have the option where all techs within a Support Group are notified when a request in their group is closed. For example, if the Network support group receives a request and one of their technicians closes it, the techs in this group would all be notified that the request is closed. Other support groups would see nothing, as they do not work with those tickets anyhow.
Restored database and now Helpdesk hangs on startup
Hi We had an issue with a server and had to reinstall Servicedesk plus. We have installed servicedesk, which worked fine. Logged in as default login, re-added the license and then logged out and shutdown servicedesk. We then ran the restoredata.bat, which seemed to restore ok. Now when we try and restart it, it hangs on the splash screen after getting about 90 of the way through and if I go into startout.log in the bin folder, it keeps coming up with requestScheme is http every 3 secs. Any ideas
