logon failures report
We recently installed the products and find that all of our users that connect to us via a vpn connection flood the Logon Failures report with entries. We've monitored the connection. As soon as they logon to the vpn a half dozen or so logon failures appear. They generally are remote sales people using domain computers / accounts and are accessing a server setup to share documents with them. Any ideas why this happens?
Filter local groups in report
We were running the Recently Removed Users from Security Groups report, but we noticed that it is pulling in local group membership removals as well. This became infeasible when a web server began adding and removing a local account repeatedly to a local security group, generating 100+ page reports. However, there appears to be no way to exclude specific accounts if they aren't AD accounts. From searching previous forum posts, it appears your reasoning is that this is because ADaudit is for Active

SQL Server and Desktop Central - Backups and Patching
We have Desktop Central configured to use a SQL database. The DTC server and SQL are on separate servers. How should patches be applied to the SQL server since the result will be the SQL server getting rebooted and DTC will lose connection. The same is true for patching the DTC server itself... What will happen if the DTC server gets updated and reboots while other clients are installing patches? I'd like to hear how you all are handling it in your environment. And finally, there the issue with
Report Data Refresh Rate
I am running the report Mailbox Enabled Users. As I run it I find things that need updating/changing in AD (Departments, Titles etc.) I change those in AD. Click the "Sync" button under the AD Explorer but my report data never changes. I search for a user I know I changed in AD, I can pull up their profile in AD Manager and see the changes have been made. But the report information shows the old AD information (i.e their old title not the new one that shows in their AD info). How does AD Manager

I am attempting to run an exchange report and having difficulty having the data refresh. As I look at the report I find AD information that needs to be updated (title, department etc.). I am updating it in AD then go back in to AD Manager and can see that the changes have happened when I look at their profile. However when I run the Exchange report and bring in "Department" I still see the old information. I have tried to force the update through Domain settings and refresh but I cannot get the

SDP Security Question?
Hi SDP Support, We are a potential customer for SDP Software. Could you please help to answer the question as they are concern for our security team? Session Management 1. Is the session token tied in some ways to a specific HTTP client instance (individual session ID/Cookie and IP address) in order to prevent an attack in a form of session hijacking, replay attacks or automated script attack? 2. Can SDP generate the new session after successful login or any re-authentication?
Enhance Purchase system
It would be good for ServiceDeskPlus if the Purchase order system could be better enhanced. I know this is a rather new feature however some improvements would make it more user friendly and better: 1) Allow non technicians to raise purchase orders, not just purchase requests. 2) Allow a finance department to update all purchase orders IE add invoice status and mark as paid etc. 3) Link Purchase Ordered to site / user / group who raised the order, this will mean that purchase orders raised by 1 group
ServiceDesk in DMZ
Hello, Our current installation of ServiceDesk plus is reachable only from inside the network and over VPN. We are considering moving ServiceDesk server to DMZ to allow our company users and technicians access it without need to of VPN while they are working remote. Alternatively we could leave the server on the LAN side and open ports in the firewall to the server. What are some best practice would you recommend for these scenarios? Is there a list of ports? Any security measures should be
Set Value of "DUEBYDATE" not working...
Hi. We are not using the SLAs. Instead, we created a field called "Requested Completion Date" so that our users can put in a date as to when they want something done. However, in order to get the "overdue" notices, we have to have the DueBy date filled in. I am trying to run an onSubmit event to update the DueByDate with the value from the "Requested Completion Date" (aka "WorkOrder_Fields_UDF_DATE1") This is what I've tried, but the field is not updating. var x=$CS.getValue("WorkOrder_Fields_UDF_DATE1");

I've followed the instructions: Stopped the service Backed up the database Also made a copy of the product folder Installed 6.3 Then installed 6360 These steps have all gone fine.

Currently the "Printers Report" is not available to be scheduled. This would be a helpful report to schedule for once per month so that we can keep track of our network printers and their configuration. Could this report be made available to be scheduled in a future release?
Managing Standard Builds as an Asset
I've got a menu of workstations and laptops that I'm offering to users through the service catalog. These end up being a checkboxes (Standard Laptop; Executive Laptop; Standard Workstation; Executive Workstation; IT Workstation, etc). My question is in how this would move from a service request to a purchase request. Our quote looks like a bunch of products. 1) Would you create one product representing the selection of products (ie., the Product name is "Standard company build") OR 2) Would you
Scanned Software
I am new to the Asset management features in SDP. I am in the process of setting up the workstations with the Asset Explorer. I had to delete a workstation(twice) and noticed that it doesn't clean up the scanned software from the deleted workstation. In this example for Windows 7 it says I have 2 installed When I click on the Windows 7 to show the installations there are no PC's Listed Should it clean up the scanned software when you delete a workstation or do I have to do something to clean it
Upgrade in Production failed 9120 to 9200
Need immediate assistance - I opened a ticket but can't reach support and this is a production system attempted an upgrade from 9120 to 9200 and the upgrade failed. This is a MSSQL environment where the db is hosted on a database server; The servicedesk backup routine when it starts the upgrade did not complete - the folder in the backups is empty. The log file updatemgrlog0.txt seems to indicate that it was aborting the upgrade but I can no longer get the services to start. I have tried rebooting.
Response time on Requests
Has anyone developed a method to measure response time on requests? I have a number of "request" based templates that I need to measure "response" time on. Since the SLA's on requests really only manage Resolution has anyone developed a method to do this? Side Note: One of the annoying aspects of ServiceDesk are the feature differences between incident and request based templates. While I understand the ITIL based separation/justification for this, the trade-offs I have to make between the two template

ServiceDesk database and log size
Is it normal for the SQL log file to be extremely larger then the database? I'm thinking no but when I try to shrink the log file it only drops off a couple hundred mb. Here are our current ServiceDesk build number, SQL database and log file sizes. ServiceDesk build- 9204 Database- 67.06mb Log file- 4,295.13mb (4.19gb) Reason why I ask is where seeing performance issues with ServiceDesk and are trying to isolate the issue.

Task Owner Dynamic Selection - Assigned Request Technician
It would be nice to be able to have a dynamic option during task creation that will automatically assign a task to the technician that is assigned to the request ticket. Currently, my technicians have to assign themselves to the tasks each time they pick up a request. I can't set a static technician because the requests go into a queue of 5 technicians, for which each of them have the capability of completing the tasks associated to the requests.
Device Templates - Editing Thresholds - "Consecutive Times" changes not updating
If I edit a device templates thresholds and change the Consecutive Times form the default value of 1, click OK and then re-editing shows that it is still the value of '1'. Change value, Click OK and immediate Associate to devices (i.e. without re-editing), checking the monitor for the given device(s) shows its still the value of '1'. If I change the value directly from the devices Monitors screen and save, the change sticks. Result, I have to manually edit every process monitor individual per device

Deploy DS to non-default installation path
Hello, We are just getting stared implementing DTC in our environment and I have a question about setting up a DS. From the help I can see at a certain point you download a zip file which you extract and run the setup.bat on the DS machine to install it. Can you select where to install DS on a server (i.e. we have foreseen a separate partition - F: - for this purpose)? I don't want it (and the patch/software repository) to deploy to the default C:\ path. Thank you for your feedback. Steve
