Version numbers and what to upgrade?
Hi, I'm confused at what version I should be running, but I'm not sure how to get much clarification. We reported an issue a while back and were sent a ppm hotfix update which we've applied however if i look in the "whats new in desktop central" part the version I have and the version that is shown is now seemingly out of synch. There's also the fact that if i change the page from normal to add a 1 in i get a different version number. So for example - https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/service-packs.html?dci&did=DIDNotAvailable
Change request - User group selection
We have a multi-site SDP setup. When creating a change request, we would like the ability to select a user group from other site instead of selecting individual users one by one. eg. in implementer field, select an IT support user group instead of select users one by one.
CHANGE - Restrict Stage + Status
Hi there, Currently when raising a change a normal user can set the Stage and Status of the change to whatever they want. They could go straight to Implementation or Closure if they want. I've set it to disabled to prevent this and ensure the Workflow is followed. I would still like the Stage and Status fields to be editable for users with a ChangeManager role so that they can still manually move changes back / forward in the workflow to rectify errors or issues with Role permissions etc. How would
On-boarding auto creates asset, Off-boarding spawns off asset list
Has anyone setup Service Desk Plus to auto create an asset during the on-boarding process? For example, a HR rep or hiring manager uses the service catalog to order a user setup with a building badge, an AD account, logins for a number of 3rd party websites. The tasks are assigned to I.T. and other application admins. When they set the task as complete a new "virtual" asset is created. When on-boarding is complete the user's asset list would match what assets have been assigned to the user.
Is there a way to disable automatic discovery of devices?
I would like to stop OPmanager from rediscovering all the devices I delete and don't want in my monitoring. When I seach the forums, I can only find very old topics which don't seem applicable anymore and I can't seem to find the option in the settings. This automatic re-discovery is driving me insane. I just want to monitor a static set of devices.
RequestLink has wrong domain
In the automation section where there are notification rules, the $RequestLink variable is generating a bad URL. I've read this forum and have tried remove the request link and adding it back. It's picking up the wrong domain. It's using a domain we no longer use. How do we change the domain name that's generated in the $RequestLink variable? The documentation on this by the way is terrible.
Not all sites are displayed
Hello After upgrading to a new version, not all sites are displayed when selected. Although they are. I have to click on the full edit request and select there. Also, they are not visible when creating a new specialist. I assume that it is necessary to re-index the database. Can you write instructions on how to do this? Or maybe there will be other tips?

Windows 10 LTSB version upgrade 1607 > 1809
Hi, I have a lot of systems running Windows 10 Enterprise x64 LTSB 2016 (1607). I would like to upgrade these to Windows 10 Enterprise x64 LTSC 2019 (1809).

New self service page
is there any way to hide the user profile picture for all users as well as the manager and reports to fields. We do not use profile pictures and people will just complain that it is blank. We also use the those fields for technical things so they do not always show what users expect.

Any help/comments/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, Scott

Scenario: One of our customers had come up with a question that new users are added to their active directory quite often and yet to be imported into ServiceDesk Plus. As you maybe aware that maximum frequency allowed is once a day for users auto-sync from AD can be scheduled once a day. Hence, he had to import the users manually multiple times a day to let the new users to login to the application that consumed lot of his time. He wanted to check with us if there is a better way to handle this.
[DidYouKnow -1] Build an efficient request approval process
The creation of an approval process is vital to the functioning and efficiency of an organization. To create this process, you must take a close look at your current approval workflow and record all the steps that an approval must pass through. With ServiceDesk Plus, we can now restrict whether approval can be sent to anyone or only system users or service request approvers can approve a request, allowing users to approve their own requests and so on. In most scenarios, when a request is submitted
SoM computers more than Inventory computers
In our Desktop Central, I've noticed that when you go to SoM > Computers, it lists around 1400 computers. But when you go to Inventory > Computers, it lists around 1300. Why is there a 100+ difference in listings? Can we add the asset tag/serial number column to the SoM > Computer report? We're trying to determine why the discrepancy in numbers, and how it's affecting our patch numbers.

I have a command that i'd like to send out to multiple computers. They are all windows machines and they are all command prompt commands. Is this possible, or do I have to go through each computer individually using the System Manager command prompt tool? Thanks! -Joe
PDF Viewer
We were happy to read the release notes for 10507 and see the attachment viewer window finally had PDF support; so we updated this week to 10510. In chrome though, it doesn't seem to work and the readme doesn't have much for details. From what I understand, chrome has a built-in viewer, so how do I get this to work?

Build 10510 - Delete REQ/INC/PRB/CHG + Reset Counters
Hi there, We're close to switching on our instance to live and I need to delete the dummy content we've been using for testing and reset the counters. I've seen from the forum posts that this can be very build specific. Can I please get some instructions on how to achieve this with the above build? I'm reasonably sure we're using MySQL. As this is a common task in new deployments of a SD solution could this activity be built into the application in the Admin settings? TIA, Dave

Stop response due by date with workflow
Greetings everyone, I am using service desk plus on Demand and I was wondering, if there is any possibility to stop the response due by date using the workflow. We send automatic mails out of the workflow by going through it. Normally a mail sent out of a ticket will stop the due date, however the same does not go with mails sent by the system out of the workflow. Is there any possibility to achieve this or to for example stop the response due date with a ticket-state? Thank you very much!

It appears that when I use $SurveyLink in a survey template, the resulting email has the following text for the 2 links: Attend Survey Skip Survey Can this be changed? "Attend Survey" is not really common in American English. "Complete Survey" or something similar would be better. Can I change it?

Operational hours for worklogs
We have a problem with operational hours. We are working from 9:00 to 18:00 and we use this time for "Due by time" and SLA's. But we don't want to use it for worklogs as our technicians could work even at night and this time should be billable. We tried to add a Service plan with equal cost for working and non-working hours, but when we add worklog for ticket SDP still set only working time as billable. Am I doing something wrong?

PMP 10200 (new install) HA on CentOS 7 w/ RSA SecurID 2fa won't allow logins
I have had this problem before and the solution was, and still is, to remove $PMP_HOME/lib/log4j-over-slf4j-1.7.5.jar Is this still a known issue in 10.2 ? Or is it possible that I don't have a dependency installed in CentOS 7? After removing this file from both master and slave, and restarting PMP on both servers, it allows me to login with RSA SecurID as 2fa.
Copying and pasting from word document into solutions article
I'm currently setting up our knowledge base and copying and pasting existing knowledge base articles from word to the solutions editor. It does not copy correctly. It double spaces lines etc and makes it look weird. Is there going to be an upgrade of the solutions editor or is there a work around. I have attached a screenshot showing the difference. Very annoying as I don't want to rewrite all the information. Cheers, Jamie
