Unlicensed Installations
I just need some clarity on the unlicensed installations. I have an application that I would like to know the workstations with this installed. It seems to be the default count for Unlicensed installations are 25. I have several applications that I would like to see all the workstations with this software but it only shows 25 workstations with the software. But, it shows more than 25 as the install count. I would like a way to run a report with all the workstations that have the software installed
Requests main screen - Request ID
Is it possible to have the main requests screen show the ID #? All of the emails refer to the ID#, yet you log into the helpdesk and can't identify which one it's talking about.
Cannot remove admin
What is the reason behind admin being a non deletable account? I will be the primary technician for my organisation so I only need one technician account but as admin cannot be deleted I cannot assign myself with logon rights. I take it that this is now by design but is there anyway to remove the admin account or enable another account to be the technician other than by a second technicians licence?
Enter old request
I had record a lot of request by using Excel manually in pass 2 years. Can i input those record into servicedesk? If yes, how can I do? Since if I input now and the date time is today and cannot change to responding date time. Thanks.

Service Desk 4.1.0 - User Survey NAT address
I like the new user survey feature but I don't know if I can use it. The server running the Helpdesk software is using a NAT address. When a survey is sent to a user it includes a link referencing 'http://<server IP>:<port>' . The IP is the internal address which can not be linked to from the public side of the router. Is there a way to modify auto generated email that is sent to users to reflect a differnt URL? ****** Example *************************** Please help us to improve our service by participating

Use with ISA Server
This is probably a dumb question but if ServiceDesk Plus uses port 8080 would this cause a conflict on a server using ISA which uses port 8080 already for proxy? The error I'm getting it this: HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required - The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. (12209) Internet Security and Acceleration Server I don't have any problems getting to any other site other than this and port 8080 is used by proxy to enable clients
Add vendor to workstation
Hi, I think we should add vendor to workstation to know where we buy, so that we can call them when got problem. And we add location to workstation to know where it is. Thanks, Triet
Internet Help

Deleting Requesters
I imported two different CSV files that had names in upper case and lower case in the other file. I thought the names would get overwritten in the second file if they were already added. But, I guess it could not distigish between the cases. I just want to mass delete all the requesters. Then I can add them back in with one CSV file. Instead of having duplicates.
Service desk 4.1
I am evaluating products for network management (software / hardware audits) and your product seems like it would fit my solution. Is there a lower price than for 2 technicians as I would only need it for one?
Inventory versus assets
Maybe I am missing something, but wouldn't what I have inventoried be considered assets as well? Maybe the ServiceDesk Plus isn't geared towards that but, it would be nice to be able attach $$$ and purchase dates to the inventoried items. If this is already possible and I am just missing it, please enlighten me. TIA Stephen
Need to be able to enter old purchase orders, and assets
Currently you can only enter purchase dates that are present and future. I have had an IT department before I started using your software. I am unable to enter in say, my PO's since Jan 1st. Please advise, and can you include this in your next release.

Managing Requesters Listing
Hi, As I imported the requesters list from my adctive directory, there were several group accounts and redundant accounts that got created in Service Desk. When going through the list to remove unwanted requesters, I noticed that everytime I deleted an account, Service Desk returns me back to the first page of the requesters list. How frustrating when I am already on the "P" list, and after deleting a requester, I am sent back to the beggining of the page. Even if I select the page to show 50 or

Several questions
Hello, I have some questions, I will greatly appreciate if you can provide me some answers : 1) It is said in the documentation that if you select a user who has a single assigned computer, the dedicated field should be automaticaly populated in the request form. It doesn't work ? 2) We already have an old tool to manage help desk and we do not wish to loose these data. Is it possible to import calls as long as we provide the right infornation (like using a CVS file) ? 3) Is it easy to translate
ServiceDesk Asset Man. Integration with OpsManager
Hi, Is it possible to link the server/desktops discovered by OpsManager to the server/desktop in the asset management database? The idea is that we can quickly link machines with problems with their hardware/software profile. Is this possible?
Can I do a search using the ticket id

Inventory Reporting with Values? / Patch availability
Hi, Is there any way to produce a report with inventory assets with the associated value? and asset category total? Ideally I would like to get a report of total number of assets in each category and the overall acquistion cost for the category plus a grand total. Also, is there any plans to be able to customise or generate our own queries for reporting (like a custom report writer) or the ability to transfer data out of the system for analysis in other packages? Re. Service Desk 4.1 - is the upgrade
Contact number in Request and Display resolution.
The new feature to import requesters is great and worked like a charm. But, when you add a requester to a new request the contact number does not show with in the contact info text box. But, when you save the request the contact info number is present. Is there any way to have the number shown before you save the request. Also, we still have a lot of workstations with the resolution of 800 x 600. You have to scroll back and forth after each save or tab change, is there anyway to have the webpage
opManager Update
I was told by someone in tech support a few weeks back that there was supposed to be an update for opManager coming out this week. Is that still true?
notification email with URL
Hi all, Is it possible to have the notification emails that are sent out include the url to the Request? ie. in the email have a url simliar to the following http://brishelpd01:8080/WorkOrder.do?woMode=viewWO&woID=5 to allow the technician to go straight there? This would be useful in saving time for the tech's to get to the job, otherwise you have to log into the system, then find the job based on the details in the email. Ideas?
Requester can access data Admin Module with read access

servicedesk on windows vs linux
I have noticed some discrepancies with your other products maybe working better on windows vs linux. Is there perhaps a guideline or best practice on what OS to run opmanager and servicedesk? I noticed for example, for the windows scan to take place in service desk, it needs wmi - how does one scan from a linux servicedesk system for windows domain then?
domain discovery question
Is it possible to add machines from the domain, without having to do a full discovery? Reason I ask is that we manage about 1/3 of our global domain and I only want to have those machines in the inventory that I manage. Also it would be helpful if we could just list all the machines then just tick the one's we want to add.
stop a discovery?
Is it possible to stop a domain or network discovery?
Device scanning
hello.. im having trouble in detecting devices thru domain and network scanning. not all devices which present in my current network successfully detected. another thing, only 1 workstation which is the pc where i install this servicedesk got all details about the models, hardware n etc. is this normal? or do i have to key in the details manually..pls help tq.
Asset /PO pricing wrong????
I have noticed (as a new comer to the software) that when I do a PO with multiple quantities of an item. I put the single cost price in as it is the first option then my quantities. Well the price is then registered as the list price divided by the quantity when I go to receive and then catalog the asset. It should be list price mulitplied by the quantity. Example: I create a PO for some HDD's. I list the price as $100 and I order 2 of them. My PO reflects that I have 2 at $100 each. The PO comes
notifications for update/close of ticket?
I have the notification working for the requestor and the admin. However I don't see the requestor getting any email updates when the ticket is either updated and/or closed. It would be great if as a tech I'd update the ticket and an email would be shot out to the requestor with the update. Also more importantly after the resolution is entered and when the ticket is closed. Please let me know if this can be done now or in the near future. Thanks, Chris
A few things
I have had a quick look at this so I hope I havne't missed anything, was looking at buying OpManager so thought this would be natural to use as well, we currently use Cerberus, http://www.cerberusweb.com and there are a few features of this that I would need to see in ServiceDesk. 1) Time tracking, already mentioned this one, but it is essential to able to enter time spent. 2) Multiple queues, as I see it at the moment to you have to run muliple copies to service multiple queues ? We currently run
Questions
I have several questions: (1) I am not very clear on the installation process. Does the service desk client have to be on technician workstations for the technicians to use it? Or do the technicians have to log on to the Windows 2000 Server where the Service Desk Web Server will be installed? In other words is their only one client installation. Let us say for example that I may decide to take the one with 2 technicians for $495.00. Can you please elaborate? (2) Can you please explain when all workstations
PO Approval
Hi. I'm evaluating your product because it provides most of functions we require. I've got a question regarding the purchase orders. In the admin guide I can see an Approval step in the workflow but I can't seem to find an Approval function in the actual application. This would be very useful for us as in my organization any purchase needs a manager approval. Thanks a lot

Can I install this cool product on a shared hosting plan?
Hello, Just came across this site and I am blown away with everything I see. I am VERY interested in the Service Desk package. But I guess I have a great dumb question. I currently use a webhosting company called www.ixwebhosting.com and I know that I get a bunch of MySql databases with it, but I am not sure if I can install it there. It is a shared hosted package. Could I install this package for my customer to use with the configuration I have? Thanks WBPC
Wheres the time tracking ?
I had a look around the demo and was very surpised to find no time tracking what so ever ? Guys, take a look at the interafce on http:///www.cerberusweb.com to see how it's done. I really like OpManager and was hoping to find an equally good Helpdesk here but will stick with Cerberus, hti sproduct still has a bit of a ways to go, until I can see who spent how much time on what, it is useless, this is a fundemental of any Helpdesk system. Also, if this was just announced, how come it is version 4
Date Sent on emails sent by the ServiceDesk
Hi, I would like to know if there is any way for the ServiceDesk software to put a sending time/date into the email headers. As they come in now with my email being sorted by date they are appearing at the bottom of the list of email as they have no sent date in the headers. thanks for any response Glen
