Force agent communication
With regards to patch configurations, specifically "missing patches"; I've created a new configuration to install missing patches, and it's downloaded the patch, deployed, and is now ready to execute. If I don't want to wait until the "install during startup" or "Install during referesh interval", is there a command I can run on the client to force a "refresh" or some communication between the agent & the server?

how to modify email notification for enrollment to include logon
We have some user accounts that are used for a particular purpose/program. The first/last name and display name in AD reflects the name of the user who uses it. But, the logon might be something like OPSADMIN. When the email notification goes out letting the users know their password is about to expire, it appears to address the user by their display name, but there has been a request by a support manager to include the logon name in the email so they know which account they are needing to change

Is anyone here successfully using OpManager to monitor Citrix XenServer 5.5 hosts? If so, any tips or hints? It does seem that OpManager monitors the console memory instead of total memory utilization (just like in ESX).

AppManager 8 - MSSQL monitor connects to wrong server
Good afternoon everyone, We have AppManager 8 installed, and I have a weird behaviour going on. When trying to create a new (MSSQL) monitor on server A, it creates it but goes to server B. Connecting to server A using SQLCMD works fine, all ip and dns issues are excluded (ping ok, connect ok on port 1433) Another monitor (windows this time) connects to and reports the right machine name. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Roderick McBan
ADSelfService Plus Manager edit Subordinate
Hello, I'd like to suggest a new feature, the business would like as soon as possible, but we've not found in ADSelfService Plus or other competitor software. We're already using the AD Self Service and having users update their own details through it (including our own custom AD Schema additions), this is great. However, we need the direct Manager of a user, to have the ability to edit that user's details, using the same simple Self Service tool. We realise there is ADManager from ManageEngine,

Database trouble
Hello I have recently done a new installation of SDP 8.1. on a virtual server. We have a mssql 2005 server with the database on. This server is the same as before.

Gina Free - Seperate User account for unlocking\resetting passwords
I have followed the GinaFree.PDF for setting up ADSelfServicePlus using the Seperate User account as stated in the PDF: "Deploying the 'Gina Free' feature involves the process of creating a 'Separate User Account' dedicated for users who have forgotten their passwords (or) have to unlock their accounts." I don't understand the portion of directions that states "The users can access this 'Reset Password User Account' with the help of an 'empty password'." What does this mean "empty password".
Self Service Reset continues to email enroll messages to disabled users
When a user leaves a company, we disable the user in AD, but don't delete them. However, we're being told that that person's email still receives a notification to enroll in the self service reset. I don't see a configuration option to not notify disabled users. As a workaround, I tried removing the email address from the AD user properties, but the email still displays when I run the non-enrolled users report. Is there a way to allow it to only notify enabled users? Thank you!! Dana
Unassigned Tasks sends notification
Good morning, We're getting an issue with tasks notifications, when a new task is created within a request, and the technician is not assigned but the group is, it's triggering the "E-mail technician when a task is assign to them." notification. It's sending emails to technicians that belong to the task's assigned group, but the notification should be sent only to the technician once it's assigned, as in the name of the notification (so no notification sent with only group assigned but no technician).
Auto Fill Tasks
We have a couple incident templates that have multiple tasks. And we were wondering if you could add a feature that would auto fill the tasks with the Technician who is filling out the requests. This would be far more convenient than having to go through each task and having to assign it to yourself. Thanks

Insert Resources (Questions & answers) programatically
I'm trying to insert "Resources/Questions" in a service request template by an external routine using this steps: - firstly, I use the API to insert the main entity (workorder table) and get the WorkorderID - then, I insert one record in WO_Resources table, with the correct ResourceID and the WOID I got from the API - finally, I insert 1 record for each question in that resource in the "ResourcesQAMapping" table, getting the questionid from the table called "questions" and the MAPPINGID from WO_Resources.UID.
