Manually change ldap dns ip without logging in to manage engine service desk?
We recently installed 2 new 2008r2 domain controllers in our domain, transferred the fsmo's and removed the old servers from the network. Unfortunately the ip for dns was not updated in service desk, so now no one can log in to include the default administrator account. I wanted to know if there was a configuration file somewhere that the ip for the current dns server could be updated in.
Configuration transfer from development to production
Hi, We just started to use the Service Desk Plus product and we want to create a development system (where to try and test our configuration) and a production system. Is there any way to transfer / propagate / deploy the configuration changes from development to production, short of performing the same changes again? Thanks!
Custom Request Template Not Being Used Properly When Request Is Sent Via Email
When users send Requests via email with correct parameters to use a custom Request template, ServiceDesk Plus ignores all @@ parameters set in the email (except for RequesterEmail) and just uses the default Request template. However, if the user is a Technician, ServiceDesk is able to parse the email correctly and uses the custom Request template. This happens even if the email content is exactly the same (except for Requester and RequesterEmail of course) as used by the non-Technician. Any help
User style field on Service Catalog form
We are using SD+ v8.0.0. I am building a form for Requesters to request access to different resources in our environment. I have all of the resources listed as required and the rest of the form as we need it. I now need to provide a field to the Requester to choose an AD user from the internal "Requester" list. At the moment the only way I can see of doing this is if I use the "Select Approvers" field then put every user as a Service Request approver, which isn't going to be suitable. I have

Broken link from task to request
Anyone else have this? I've followed a task list from an email, and the link next to "Associated to" at the head of the page goes to http://hq-sd-01/tasks/CUDTask.jsp?TASKID=305&MODE=Edit# - which leads precisely nowhere. We've just started using Tasks today, possibly we haven't configured it right?
SMTP Option?
Hello, I am currently evaluating SDP as a possible replacement for our service desk. I have testing some of the features. In the Admin Section for mail settings you can set the outgoing mail to use SMTP but you cannot do the same for incoming mail. Our exchange server is not setup for POP3 or IMAP, which are the only two options in the incoming mail "Email Type" drop down list. Is there a way to specify SMTP to process incoming mail? Regards, ITbugz
Approval module security problem - AGAIN!
I would like to inform that again we've found SD (Enterprise 8022 edition) very usecure with use of approval module. Anyone can build URL link (ITEM and KEY are easy to find) and see the whole request body - download attachments fe - without ANY AUTHORISATION! I suppose it is the same error or error-scheme found in mid 2010 and confirmed by support. Lack of support in this case is really hard to tolerate. Example: https://sd_address/approval/Approve.jsp?ITEMID=31720&MODULE=Request&KEY=11327327904289

Finding fields in SQL Server
Is there an easy (easier) way to find field names in SQL Server? It is very difficult to build query reports without knowing the name of the field or the table the field is in. is there such a thing as a data diagram available showing all the fields and relationships? I am especially interested in finding the additional fields that we created for the requesters. Thanks, Sheila

PM - SLA
We have PM requests set up that go out on a Daily, Weekly, and Monthly basis. I have set up SLAs for each of these. When the system generates the request it does not assign the appropriate SLA to the request.

Can closure of a request be mandatory when last open task is closed?
Suppose that a request has several tasks associated with it. When a technician closes the last open task, can ServiceDesk Plus force the technician to close the entire request as well? We don't want any requests to remain open when all of the tasks are completed. If this functionality is not available, can a business rule be used to achieve the same result?

Would like the ability to pull fields in AD during login to SD

Link Level and Priority
Is it possible to link the fields "Level" and "Priority" ? Currently we use the field "Level" to indicate the type of request (ie. Incident, Change or Problem) After a technician selects the appropiate Level, he has to set the right Priority. For each Level, we have different Priorities. For example, a Prio 3 Incident should be solved sooner than a Prio 3 Change. Now, when a Technician selects a Level, he can choose any Priority. Sometimes, a Technician makes a mistake, assigning a "Change

Email fetch problem and system not recovered after a service restart
Hi Over the last 3/4 days we have noticed that the mail fetch process in SD has been stopping regularly. We have also noticed that the ID numbers being assigned to cases are sometimes not in consecutive order in relation to when the emails were fetched. As I result I decided to restart the service about 1 hour ago. It has not recovered. The service is listening (i.e. the web browser connects but never loads a page). I've tried stopping the service and running run.bat from the command line:
Using Task Template in Incident Templates
In creating Incident Templates, you can add tasks that are related to the incident resolution. However the created tasks in the task template cannot be used. We have to create the same tasks when we create incident templates. It will be better if we can select tasks from the existing task templates in creating incident templates so we won't have to redo the tasks which we have already created in task template
Few Questions for SupportDesk Plus
1. How can I make the automatic request approval?When I want to close the incident, my company requires the approval from supervisor. Sometimes SDAdmin closes without approval and it cause some problem. Can I configure the SD so every incident cannot be closed/resolved without approval? And, Can I designate the supervisor so I don't have to write the super's address every time when I need the approval. (Like Change process & CAB) 2. Can I configure that SD sends the e-mail to requester and tech

Self Service Portal layout
I'm confused about the Self Service Portal. We have some documentation from when the system was installed (Jan 2010) with a screenshot of the SSP - it looks exactly like the one in the demo page on the ManageEngine site - http://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/self-service-portal.html?index You can see that there is an 'New Request' option, and the 'Announcements' are at the bottom. However, if I log on to our system as a 'requester', I see a different screen - see attachment.

Forefront Client Security not detected by a system scan?
We are running Microsoft Forefront Client Security; the asset scan does not detect the installation of it. The system does however detect the Forefront Client Security Beta "Stirling" that were installed on some systems.
