Dashboard configuration
I am configuring ServiceDesk Plus for rollout. I am using ServiceDesk Plus 8.0, Build 8007. We own the Enterprise version. When I log into ServiceDesk as an administrator, my Dashboard looks as expected, with three tabs: HelpDesk, Problems and Changes, and Assets. When my technicians log in, they see one tab named "Problem". What I am doing wrong? These are the permissions that I have given my techs: What am I doing wrong? I just want the techs to see the HelpDesk dashboard.

P to V conversion
We're performing a P to V to add guests to our VMWare infr and we're noticing the devices are not being showing up under the Virtual Device category after the process is complete. We've tried to update status, rediscover, remove and discover again and they still show as non-virtual devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
QNAP Devices.
Hi there, got a few QNAP devices (www.QNAP.com) to monitor and though the test service monitor gives a response and a value, the CPU and Memory graphs do not show up: I have added a custom template, added the QNAP MIB (Please see attached file), no joy. Also, you do not have the Vendor/Type of QNAP (NAS) by default? Any ideas? Thanks! Adrian.
Asset scan, ipv6 blocked by Windows firewall
Hi all We are running windows 7 ent 32bit clients. Our ServiceDesk Plus installation used to be installed on a Windows 2003 r2 server (no ipv6 support) but the server has crashed, and now our service deskplus installation is running on a Windows 2008 r2 server (with ipv6 support) Since the Win7 client and the Win2008 server _both_ automatic have ipv6 addresses on the isatap adaptor, ipv6 is taking precedence over ipv4 and network traffic would be ipv6 tunneled over the ipv4 address (default
Updating Clients IP Addresses
Hi everyone, We are running Opmanager build no 8812. I noticed the Desktops clients that are being monitored do not get their IP Address updated when that changes. We have a DHCP running in our network( other than the server running OpManager) Server running OpManager solves corectlly the names and nslookup looks correct and accurate, but OpManager does not get updated. Any idea what to do to troubleshoot this? Thanks, Nick.
Firewall Analyzer 7.2 - Vulnerable Tomcat Version
After carrying out some vulnerability scanning using Nessus, it was found that FWA 7.2 is using an obsolete version of Tomcat - is there anyway to manually upgrade to newer versions? Findings as follows - Obsolete Web Server Detection Apache Tomcat 5.x < 5.5.1 Information Disclosure Apache Tomcat 5.x < 5.5.21 Multiple Vulnerabilities It's somewhat ironic that a security product uses vulnerable software.
Menu links get redirected to internal URL's
Hi, this week ive noticed the weird behaivior that sometimes the support center freezes up. If this happens you see that while hovering over a link all the menu links are refering to an internal url (file:///) in stead of https. I have to close the browser tab and reopen the service center. This happens internal (on an domain laptop) as well as external (@home) while using Firefox. Anybody a idea how to resolve this? Ive included a screen shot which shows the behavior in the lower right corner.
New to ManageEngine helpdesk and need basic SQL view help please
Hi My client is Using Version 6 and I need to show a simple SQL view that reports their incidents and requests separately just with basic data on age of request, closed or open etc. I've never seen your product before and just looking at the huge table structure makes no sense to me. Could you point me to a link to an Entity Relationship Diagram or at least to the "incident" "request" etc table that I need to show the live and closed reported events. Thanks Bob
Roles
Hi, I have two questions about roles: When a user has 2 roles associated to him they take the least permissions? I read that on http://forums.manageengine.com/#topic/49000004260332 I think that it was batter that the permission take the most of both no? I want some users to have access to dashboard including “Helpdesk” area… but I just can achieve that when users have full admin rights, and It’s not what I want. Best regards, Henrique Alves.

HP StorageWorks p4300 mib
Hi Don't suppose you have the MIB for HP StorageWorks P4300 SAN do you? I'm trying to monitor it, yet OpManager doesn't recognise it as a peice of hardware.

Importing assets via csv - creates identical user
I am using ServiceDesk plus for asset/facilities management for my organisation. Before SD+ i had all my asset information on an Excel spreadsheet. I have since been able to modify the spreadsheet to suit SD+ and saved it as a csv file. One of the columns in the CSV file is "User". The problem is when I import the csv file and map the user column to the corresponding "user" field, SD+ creates a new user with an identical name and doesn't use the user information thats already in SD+. So i end up

Performance issues (Running 2008R2 64-bit)
Hello, Anyone having performance issues with this setup? Any link that we click takes 5-10 seconds to load which is unbearable. Load factor is 0.0 in 'Support'. Machine is running in VMware with plenty of dedicated resources, otherwise I guess load factor would show it also.

Issue Using Perl for Windows and Custom Script Templates
I have an issue where I have OpManager installed on a Windows 2003 server and am trying to use Perl to write a custom script template. The issue I have is that whenever I try to use a "foreach" loop, the script just hangs and eventually times out. The script runs fine when ran manually. It only fails when ran through OpManager. Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, did you get it resolved? Thanks!
Feature Request: Automatically Notify Manager
Our management requires that when their employee submits a request that they are copied on the request. Today, we have to do this manually. Our organization structure is already loaded in to AD (Who reports to who, etc.). It would be handy if ServiceDesk could automatically copy their supervisor on the ticket without us having to manually set it. Just a FYI.
Custom report view in folder
Hi, I have created a new custom report based on a query. The new report is public and I published it in an existing folder. The problem is that some users with technical profiles (authorized to view only the requests of their group or assigned to them) can’t view the report in the folder. Can you help me or tell me what I should check? thanks

Firefox 11 issues
Seems like SDP and FF11 have issues. I can't add notes to my task as the notes box doesn't popup. SDP accepts the Add Notes click but doesn't pop the notes window up anywhere. I have scrolled right down the page to make sure it didn't pop up somewhere further down. I'm not sure if anything else is broken as I have had to switch to another browser to keep using SDP.

Creating a report - need to add another column with a historical value (current and previous IP address)
I need a way to see if multiple people are using the same account to logon to the VPN. The only way I could think of doing this is with RADIUS logs. I created a report using the "Local Logon-Logoff - RADIUS Logon History (NPS)" for the data. Then I added the column "Calling Station" to get the ip address of the user. So that gets me most of the information, but I still need a way to see if an account is being logged in from multiple ip addresses, because there are too many pages to go through

How can I personalize reiterative alerts?
Hey guys, I'm currently working with Application Manager 9 and want to personalize commands/alert configuration, because I want reiterative alerts with defined intervals. The only option I see under the Admin > Commands/Alert configuration is the following: 'Execute commands repeatedly in case the state of the atribute is Critic or warning (until it clears)' Any chance I can personalize that? Plus, how can I change the language of AppManager? Hoping to get answers asap, Regards. Sebastian C. IT Engineer

User import via csv and template problems
I have some weird things going on, at least I think so. I am wondering: What particular fields in the template actually override the ones in the CSV file? I have my csv file setup with a few fields including userprincipalname and samaccountname. When I do a bulk users import of my csv file everything shows up in the listjust like it does in the csv file. example, my userprincipalname for user bmoore is bmoore and samaccountname is bmoore. now, when I apply the template it changes userprincipal name
Expired password accuracy?
Hi, I was using the expired passwords report to determine whether an account was inactive or not, as opposed to the regular inactive account report and noticed something that concerns me. We haven't been able to use the regular inactive account report because it seems to trigger on logons with userid and password whereas our users log on with smart cards. So we used the password expiration as the same measure since users still had to change their passwords every 90 days. Now however users can only

ADManager Plus Synchronising With Primary Domain Controller
How often does ADManager Plus synchronise with the primary domain controller? Our Helpdesk users have found that the information being displayed can be out of date. For example when unlocking a user account it'll continue to be displayed as locked out until it synchronises with the primary domain controller. Thanks, Lane.
