Definitive Guide to the Remote Control function
I'm having trouble making the Remote Control function of the SDP. I'm using version 8.0.0 build 8015. Some of my technicals do not have administrator permissions on the machine and these, when they try to control a machine, the request appears to the remote host but after after acceptance nothing appears on the technical. I wonder if you can pass me a document that contains all the necessary permissions for the Remote Control function for today, need to remove the VNC on my site and unfortunately
Resource area of Template
Is there a way to make the questions in the resource section of a template mandatory fields? I think this area is a great feature, but without being able to make the fields mandatory it's possible for a request to be submitted without pertinent information. One major purpose of templates is to save time - if data is missing and technicians have to spend time calling to get questions answered, it makes the template almost useless. Sheila

Resolution templates
Hi Support, Does a resolution template change the request status? Can it only fill in the resolution field on a request? If it can't close the request and set additional fields, can someone tell me why I would ever want to use one? I use incident templates to close requests with a common resolution - if the resolution is the same, then it sets the category/subcategory/request type/impact/urgency, etc and sets the request as closed. If you are adding a common resolution you will set the status to
Incident Template used to be called Request Template?
Am I going mad? Didn't the Incident Template used to be called a Request Template? What was the reasoning behind the naming change? Is there some logic behind this as at the moment it's kind of confusing: the terms 'Incident' and 'Request' should mean two different things in ITIL terms yet seem interchangeable in Servicedesk. Any thoughts? Angela

ServiceDesk category / sub category / item display question
Hi - In the ServiceDesk / Admin / Category panels, the Category, sub Category and Items are displayed sorted alphebetically. But when I look at those same items in the requestor interface, they are sorted by the SQL item number and so Requestors spend quite a bit of time searching through them. Is there a way to sort the items alphabettically for the Requestor view? Perhaps a sample will help: From ServiceDesk / Admin / Category screen: Category: Desktop Sub Category: Adobe Acrobat Adobe Reader AV

Possible Bug in Purchase order process
We have recently started using the PO part of the system. Ive setup a number of additional fields to show on my PO. When I raise the Po all of my additional fields show. Once Ive completed the PO however, if I generate the PO copy by using ACTIONS email to Vendor, one of the fields (cost centre) does not show on the generated copy. If however I choose, print preview of the same PO and then choose to 'send' (email) that to the same vendor all of the fields are present in the resulting PO.
Incomplete asset scanning
Hello guys, Got a problem with asset scanning in that it does not seem to scan everything, especially with software: gonna give one example. I have an dedicated Exchange Server 2010. I use agentless scanning. I noticed only three things were getting scanned with agentless scanning: - Microsoft Silverlight - Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - Windows Internet Explorer 9 The strange thing is it does detect hardware and (which is noticable almost every scan) the free space on drives. So i thought,

New PM task
I would like to create a new PM task that appears in the Unassigned queue on a daily basis. SD+ requires that I assign a technician to this task. Our field techs rotate in and out of the office, so I can't assign to the same tech on a daily basis. I want all techs to see this daily PM task and have a tech take ownership. This is a simple task that anyone can perform. I am trying to 'spread the wealth' by cross-training, so to speak by having more than one person perform the task. Is there a way

Service Desk Plus Server giving Invalid License file error( Error 535 )
I am experiencing issues with our Service Desk Plus server. Originally the site was exhibiting odd behaviour( ie: clicking on a specific ticket would just reload the the list of tickets ect ). So I rebooted the server, which normally fixes the issue but then I found that the server would get hung up while loading Manage Engine. After a couple of attempts to get it to boot up I got an "Invalid license file" error. The exact error code is Error: 535. Can anybody help me out?

Timer - SLA - Due By Date
How many timers are there? Is there one for the SLA, and one for time spent on a request? Or is there just one timer used for both, the time the request was opened to resolved and for the SLA? For example: 1:00 Request is submitted. 2:00 Status is changed to Onhold, stopping the timer. 4:00 Status is changed to Open, starting the timer. Now, it has been 3 hours since the request had been submitted, but the timer has recorded 1 hour. Which time governs the SLA? The 3 hours or the 1 hour?

Time Spent per Department pie chart
I have setup a Matrix using TimeSpent to look at time spent per department, but I'd like to turn this into a scheduled report with a pie chart, however the chart only appears to count the number of requests rather than the time spent on those requests. Is there a way of achieving this without running the data through Excel? Assuming it can be done in Excel, I haven't tried.
