Group and Technician got updated as none while making changes in Default template
Hi, I have 3 groups grp1, grp2 and grp3. and i have created request template for each group - Temp_grp1,Temp_grp2 and Temp_grp3. all my requests are getting created thru mail, hence the tickets are getting created under default template, and while closing the case the techincian will change the template to belongs to their group. So many techinicans were closed their request under default template, so to prevent using the default template, i have removed the group and technician name from the default

Service Desk Plus - How to Offload SSL?
We are going live on SDP on Monday and have set it up behind an F5 Big IP LTM and are attempting to offload ssl encryption and decryption for external access allowing the F5 to handle the encryption\decryption. Typically, the application needs to be aware that SSL is being offloaded. Is there documentation on how to make this work? Testing http access through the F5 works fine. When we test https access, I can get to the main page and login (security log shows that it is successful) but then I
Should services be managed like assets?
Should services (web sites and services, in our case) be tracked as assets in SD+? If not, what is the best way to keep track of incidents, solutions, changes, etc. related to things like this? The relationship is something like this: one or more services may run on one or more servers.
Issues with remote asset explorer server
Please I have deployed Remote Asset Explorer and currently facing some problems 1. Asset Tag was manually inputed for all workstations but when you export to the central AE it does not reflect eventhough its showing in the Remote Server 2. Unable to assign department and change the state of an asset in Remote Server eventhough I have logged in as administrator
Agent installed but showing as not installed
We do a discovery scan daily at noon and sometimes after the daily scan has performed it shows 640 computers with no agent. And if I do a manual scan of these 640 computers that number drops down to 60. Is there a reason why sometimes the discovery scan would not be able to detect the agent but the manual scan done immediately after would? This is more of an annoyance than a serious issue but it is still annoying.
Report on templates used
Is there a report I could run to see the count on the number of templates being used over the past month? I am trying to remove some old templates, but want to make sure they are not being used.
Feature Request - Make asset remote control available on New Incident page
We just upgraded to 8112--I love being able to use DameWare MRC with SDP now. We originally migrated to DamWare because this feature wasn't currently available in the current version of SDP at the time, and it still isn't today. When creating a new incident, you select the asset associated with the user. However, before you can get the link to initiate remote control with the asset, you have to save the ticket first. I don't want to create a ticket, enter some very basic information about the incident,
8112 - Unable to enable "Pass-Thought" Authentication
Hi all, I've read so much about this yet I still can't get it to work! I have set my domain name, DNS server, Bind Sting, DNS site and manually created a Computer account called sdpntlm however when I enter the password which is password and hit save, I'm getting the attached errors. I have tried running the scripts provided however they don't seem to be working. Can anyone help? Thanks, Chris.
Technician log in screen
Normally when you use the tab key to leave the username window and enter the password window, the old password would highlight so you could enter a new password without deleting the old one. It is a common convention in other apps.
Useful SQL Queries
Figured I would share some custom reporting we did to better track our tickets. This query isolates just the closing comments that a user leaves upon closing a ticket. select b.workorderid as "Ticket #", d.first_name as "Submitter", e.first_name as "Tech", LONGTODATE(b.CompletedTime) as "Closed On", a.close_comments as "Comments" from WorkOrderStates a, WorkOrder b, SDUser c, AaaUser d, AAAUser e where ((a.workorderid = b.workorderid) and (b.requesterid = c.userid) and (c.userid = d.user_id)
what use is reminders?
Hi there, I'm currently trialling ServiceDesk Plus and have a question about reminders. I've seen the manual to manage it (create/edit/delete/etc) but still wondering how it actually supposed to be used. My understanding was that when we set up a reminder, put in the date and time, there should be some kind of notification on the specified time without us actually going to the Quick Actions > My Reminder(s). But so far, nothing. No pop up box or anything. I even tried to log out and log in again

Notify Department head with Email when rqueter open a new rquest from the same department
is ther is any way to Notify Department head with Email when rquster open a new rquest from the same department?
Response Due by time
Is there a way to set the responded time manually for example we call the user instead of email them? This really messes our SLA's up because we do not email everyone so we cannot capture the response time very reliably? Basically have something that says we called the user and that would set the responsed time for us instead of having to send an email from the ticket. Thanks Kevin Hardy

8112 email issue
We have upgraded to manage engine 8112 and now we are having an issue with email. It seems that after the update squirrelmail users are getting blank emails. From what I can tell there is no longer a html body tag in the email and they just come in blank. I have tried firefox and IE and the issue is the same. Gmail exchange or yahoo are not effected by this issue. Please advise.
Screens not rendering properly
I am testing build 8112. I have started up the service using run.bat. I have created an alias url of usmkd100.drs-ps.drs.master:8080. When I am logged directly on that server and log onto the client using _http://localhost:8080, the screens render just fine. For example the logon screen when logging in from the server looks like: whereas the logon screen from a browser on the network (both browsers are IE8) looks like: There are even weirder problems occuring with pull down menus and side
Enhancement - Readonly textboxes
Would be useful if we could have the additional fields such as textboxes/numerical/dates to be readonly or not. As at the moment all Dates are readonly. For example when creating mutiple assets manually i have a additional date fields which will change for each user and for others not exist but most of the other details will be the same so i was using the save and create new command. However i noticed once i chose a date i could only edit the date and not make the field NULL again.

SLA's aren't sending out e-mails
Just created a bunch of SLA's for our sites. To test it out i've put the escalation level 1 at 5mins and the escalation 2 level for 10mins. I create a job for myself and set the priority that the sla is attached too. The sla applies when i create the work order. My problem is I don't receive a escalation level 1 e-mail after 5mins nor do i actually receive a escalation 2 e-mail. Everything is fine with our exchange server and it sends e-mails from jobs instantly.
