Workflow: Add the ability to disable a notification
The only option available for a workflow is to manage / unmanage a server. Unfortunately this means we stop monitoring the server. During our maintenance when servers and services are restarting, we disable all email notifications and use the OpManager console to gauge which servers might not have rebooted properly by looking at the alerts. This reduces the noise but keeps us on top of issues. Please add a workflow item to disable one or many notification profiles.

CMDB site details
Hi all, I am not sure if I am in the right area but here goes... The company I work for has 50 sites across Australia. Each site has it's own unique equipment and arrangements especially for telecommunications (WAN/Internet/Phone service). Is the CMDB section the right place to track all that, and, if so , how? I cannot see where they have sites listed in CMDB and if that's not a function of this module then it's pretty much useless to me. Basically, I would like to have each site listed, be

Desktop Central - OS Deployment - Where to start?
I've been poking around in Desktop Central's OS Deployment module, and looking through the manuals, etc. All that I'm finding for the most part are articles or five minute videos that tell what the product does, not how to configure it correctly.

Has anyone else noticed that the role SDGuest has been added to all/most of their existing technicians? We're running v11004 and have not assigned this role to any of our techs prior to updating from v10017. Now it seems the role is being added daily back to techs which may be tied to another issue we are having (random forced logoffs). Could this be tied to the daily AD sync? Has anyone else seen this? What ramifications does this have to tech access etc..

I have a test copy of ServiceDesk+ set up with no templates other than the Default. I set up a new Template, and deleted it straight
