Noted this log file is getting pretty big. Properties say it was last modified in 2017. Any reason not to delete it? Path is "Manage Engine\Service Desk\Logs". We are on Service Desk Plus 9400 (soon to be 9411). Thank you.
Downloading unselected apps
I set up Patch Connect Plus for the first time as well as the SCCM Plugin. We selected several applications in Patch Connect Plus as well as in SCCM under the Software Update products list and synced successfully. Now we do not want to deploy those applications anymore. I have removed them from Patch Connect Plus and unchecked them in SCCM, but they still are getting downloaded to the Patch Connect Plus store database as well ad I see them under published apps. How can I remove them completely? Is
Copy values from one field to another in bulk
Hi folks, I have a field that was specific to a Service Request that I'd like to replace with a common field, but I have to preserve the data. My thought was to add the common field to the existing template and I was hoping you could provide me with a way to copy the values from one field to the other. In this case, the request field is a date field called "Eff. Date" and I'd like to copy the values from that field to a common field called "Effective Date." Thanks, Adam
Email added to old ticket conversation with no delimiter
Odd thing popped up (Build 10500). We use the standard delimiter ## in the subject of emails. Normally when a user sends an email to the inbox with ##request number## in the subject, that ticket's conversation will get updated with the email. We just had, what strongly appears, to be an old ticket update that did NOT have the ##request number## in the subject. This email should have created a new ticket. I cannot figure out how this happened. The subjects of the tickets were identical. Has new logic
Templates not showing up to Technicians after upgrade to 10503

Changing the Additional Field Type
Why is it not possible to change the current format of the field to other format? We currently have fields in use that we would like to change the field format ( Ex. Single Line field is used to with amount by users) but what I can only do is to remove/disable the field and insert the same with different format. But by doing so, we will lose the field in the already created requests and the new field inserted will be blank. It would be tedious to update the existing request one by one.
SDReport role problem
HI, I assigned built-in SDReport role to one technician, but when he log in, he don't see any reports, every reports group are empty. If I add him SDAdmin role then all reports are visible. How to assign to one technician full access to every raports on SD?
Getting ISO date from a DateTime field?
I'm trying to get a date in ISO format by extracting the data from a DateTime field in the following manner: var startDateValue = $CS.getValue("GUDF_DATE2"); var startDate = startDateValue.getYear() + "-" + startDateValue.getMonth() + "-" + startDateValue.getDate(); Instead of producing a date in a format similar to 2019-06-19, the output I'm getting is along the lines of 119-6-1 . What is the correct syntax to achieve this? Thank you.

License Management for Thin clients
Hi There, We have a fleet of 400+ Wyse Thin Client devices. These devices cannot be scanned as they do not allow software to be installed on them. Manually completing the software assignment for each of these Wyse boxes is a very time consuming and complex task. We believe there may be a way to automate this process by using the back-end databases/table of the asset register to import the asset and the licenses for each asset as well using some sort of programming language. Has anyone done
Problem with menu items
If you enter the parameters, the settings menu appears on the left. Items are divided into categories. When you click on a category - nothing happens, the sub-items of the selected category are not expanded. In version 10501 it worked ... and in version 10503 it does not work.
[SD-71682] How best to "license" things like Internet Explorer, SIlverlight, etc

After upgrading to ServiceDesk Plus 10503, the login page is no longer available.
After upgrading to ServiceDesk Plus 10503, the login page is no longer available. I get the message This site is not available. The site cannot start up locally either. The SDP also works normally, I receive email, reports are sent. New tickets that must be created automatically are created and an email is sent to the technician. But I can't open the site, so I can't do anything else with it. When I launch SDP via run.bat everything seems normal C:\ManageEngine\ServiceDesk\bin>run.bat ===============================================================================
Is it possible to Remove Technicians using API?
I don't see anything in the API documentation outside of viewing Technicians and Requesters but I would like to Automate the removal of Technicians to free up licenses as users are terminated. Has anyone ever been able to automate this process or is it even possible? All Google Searches rendered basically nothing.
Create Search Filter for Requests from external domains

Modifying the Type of software massively
Hello Team. One of our clients has ServiceDesk Plus Enterprise Edition v10500 with MSSQL 2014. Our client exported to an XLS file the list of software that are classified as "Unidentified". Later on the XLS file our client organized and documented the Software Type for each software. Is it possible to import the XLS file back into the Scanned Software with the modified Software Type so that it is massively updated? What are the options to modify the Software Type in a massive way? Regards. Rafael
MDM - Android COPE - migration paths
Hi Keerthikumar, Appreciate the quick response to my previous post in the community "Link". Based on your response, I have a follow-up question in regards to migration paths towards COPE. Cope includes device and work profile ownership. Device ownership can only be defined at the beginning or after factory reset. If we start with device ownership (with Zero-Touch) for now, would it be possible to activate work profile /COPE later on in the process without having to factory reset devices again which

Automate generation of CSV file from SQL table\view or other DB
I don't know whether this would be useful to anybody else but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'm finding that i'm creating more and more SQL views\tables to manage various aspects of AD objects. Some can be handled directly using SQL integrations\automation's i.e user creation, modify attributes whereas others have to be manipulated using csv's. My personal panacea would be to use SQL integration for all automation's\tasks (probably much easier to say than implement) and not have to create scripts

Devices enrolled but not allowed in Conditional Exchange Access
We have Desktop Central on premise with Mobile device management. We have devices enrolled (both Android and IOS) that when we enable Conditional Exchange access for the users, the devices is put in the "In grace period" or "Restricted" group. What criteria does it use to determine if the device is allowed other than being enrolled in MDM? Or is there something that could be keeping the MDM device from linking up with what is in Exchange?
Auto transition request after apruval to another status
To manage requests we use a life cycle. But faced the following problem. When creating a request, it is in the "Waiting for approval" status, but after approval it remains in the same status and you have to click "approved" after approval, only after this the application goes to the desired status. Very uncomfortable. Is it possible to make an autotransfer after all the approvered. Press approved button PS reject request translates into the desired status automatically.

Configuring category, subcategory and item (CSI) in a helpdesk software
Hello folks, Documenting requests help determine how they move through an organization. Today, most ServiceDesk software utilizes three crucial layers to classify requests: categories, subcategories and items. These three key factors of requests can have a huge impact on the success of the ServiceDesk, as they will have huge impact on reporting, SLA constructions, priority degree, the paths requests take throughout the workflow and so on. Culturally, the requester enters a category, subcategory and

[SDF-56587] Approver unable to approve when request was initially denied
How do we ensure that the Approver can approve a request that was initially denied? The request ticket contains an exchange of conversation between the requester, 3rd-party group, and the Approver. The technician initially sent an approval request, however, the requester was looking for additional information - so the Approver denied the request until all information was provided. The requester provided all the information, then the technician sent another approval. However, the approver cannot approve
