Upgrading to Professional
Hello, We are currently running ServiceDesk+ 7.6.0 Professional on Windows Server 2003 with a SQL 2005 instance on a separate database server. We are planning to upgrade to the Enterprise on Windows Server 2008 R2 with a SQL 2008 instance on the same server. What would be the best way to migrate the database to the upgraded system? Thanks

New custom view does not display data
I'm testing build 7605 on a test machine and when I create a custom view, I get 0 results. My filter is: Technician is <me>. If I create the same custom view in our current production build (7507), several hundred records display. Is anyone else having this issue?
How can I do a software audit report?
I want to produce a list of all our software, which software type it comes under and how many installations of the software exist. The only report which seemed like it could meet these criteria was the matrix table, I could sort the Y axis by Software Type and then Software Name, but the problem is that there is nothing in the X axis drop down so I cannot produce this report. How can I get the report that I am looking for? To be honest what I really want is a report that looks exactly like the
notification of tasks
Hello When adding a task for a request and assigning it to a group only (but not to a technician), the members of the group get a mail saying that a task had been assigned to them. Unfortunately, the task does not show up in the home view / task view of the technician. There is even no possibility to do a 'task pick up' in that case. Wouldn't it be useful to show the task - which have been assigned to a group but not been assigned to a technician - to every technician of the group, until the task
Adding new vendor from Software License
No matter what role or permissions I give the technicians (besides admin) they are unable to add a vendor within the Asset tab > software license > add new, they can within the contract tab> add contract > new vendor. Was this ever fixed or is grant Admin rights the only fix? I do not want to give admin rights to a technician for them to perform this function.

Technician - Site assignment issue - Urgent pls.
Good Morning All, I am encountering an issue where I am unable to associate a technician with the "Not associated to any site" site (That doesn't sound right). I have three technicians who are still associated with this "No Site" site, and they all appear to function properly, yet when I try to associate another technician to "Not associated to any site", I get either an error message that is entirely blank, or the following error message: FAILURE: One of the value with which the Technician
How to filter all apps with 0 installs
I am looking for a method whereby I can select and delete all applications with zero existing installations. We're looking to begin a classification of our applications, but I want to keep the numbers down by removing applications which may no longer be relevant. How can I go about this? We're running 7.6 on with an MS SQL 2005 back-end.
Customised views for each filter
It would be really handy to show specific columns for certain request filters and not for others. For example, it would be good to have a filter that showed category, sub-category and item but another filter that did not go down to this level.
AD "Organization" integration
Since SD+ already integrates with Active Directory, has there been any consideration of incorporating the "Organizational Structure" of AD into SD+? I think this could help improve several aspects of the tool... Approvals - Upon submitting a request for approval, the technician could simply choose "Requester's Manager". SD+ would refer to the organization it fetches from AD. This could be taken one step further by incorporating "Submit for approval" as an option in "Business rules". Certain templates

Asset Scan failure
A laptop harddrive failed and the technician replaced it with another harddrive (the laptop name, serial number, etc remained the same), Within Assets, the laptop was still displayed but when he went to Scan Now to run an update on this laptop a failure message popped up. I saw the laptop that he forced a scan on and it was defiantly connected to the network at the time of the forced scan. Reason this occured? Look at the attachment for the error message My second question regarding scanning, if
Running ServiceDesk on a secondary IP address
I am running a training suite and ServiceDesk on the same server (Win 2003, MS-SQL) . I have configured a secondary IP address for the network card connecting the server to the network but I can't get ServiceDesk to listen to port 80 on that secondary IP address.

Unable to delete report folder / report folders not displayed
Hello all, I've been looking at our report definitions and am looking to remove some custom folders that have been created to house reports. It doesn't appear that this can be done from the application itself and so after reading a few previous posts, I figured that the report definitionss must be contained with in the database somewhere. Sure enough I came across the CustomReport_Folder and CustomReport_Details tables (MSSQL) which seems to house the detail I'm looking for. My first question
Notifications not being sent when request is updated
Running SDP 7603, on Exchange 2003 and SQL2008. We have Notifications enabled when requests are assigned and when they are updated. What I am not getting sent are notifications to GROUPS when the request is updated which is rather frustrating. We have a workload of requests that are in group queues, the requester e-mails in asking for an update and it appears the team doesn't get notified. Worse part of this is when requests are on hold they disappear from the standard view so even if the lists are
ServiceDesk Plus database
Hello - I have been tasked with upgrading our copy of ServiceDesk Plus from its current version (7014) to the current level and I have a question regarding the database file or files. We have setup the current server to use a MS SQL database on another server. Is this the only database there is or is there a second one still being maintained on the local server? Thanks in advance for your assistance in answering the questions. Dennis Rhine
Reset password on home page...
Password reset should be available on the Home page. Also is there a way to have it so the Solutions are available without user having to log in? If not, I would suggest these features be added. Thanks.
Emailing vendors
Is it possible to disable the ability to send an email to vendors in the contracts module of ServiceDesk Plus?
Remove warning when using Chrome
Chrome (Google's browser) works great with SD+, but a warning comes up every time you try to compose something to notify the user it doesn't recognize the browser and doesn't know if it will work (it does). It's a worthless message that just gets in the way. I should at least be able to turn off the warning so I'm not reminded 100 times a day.

Asset Scan don't recognize new Software Versions
I'm using SDP and scanning 200 workstations with using network scan. Now I see that for example software 'itunes' shows in SDP old version number. I think it shows the version who was installed at the first scan. I have checked all the assets with this software and all are up-do-date with newer versions. A new scan of the assets shows no new entries. Question: how can I fix that? (without deleting the workstation)
Robotechnician
Is there a way to remove Robo from the template list once it has been enabled? After realizing that Robo is not very useful at this time I disabled it. However it still displays in the "New Request" templates. I fear that this will be enabled by accident or by a curious tech and then it will be visible to all users. This will cause unnecessary confusion.

Assign fields to emailed tickets based on "Resent-To" field?
My ServiceDesk Plus admin has tickets created via email assigned to groups and techs based on the To: email address. Is it possible to do the same thing with different mail headers? I'm specifically interested in "Resent-To". While I train my users to use the system, I want to be able to redirect their requests emailed directly to me to SD+. I can't forward them, as then the requester would be me, not to mention the other extraneous and incorrect information that would result. I thought I would
concurrent license
The local reseller just tell me that I can buy a 5 technician license no matter if I have 7 technicians. I told them I will have just 3 or 4 technician working in the application at the same time, and the other will be accessing at different times during the day. That's known as concurrent users license wich is the opposite of named users license. Please let me know what's the real licensing scheme for ServiceDesk +. Thanks, Angel

Mobile client does not work on AT&T
I have been working with support on an issue and wanted to see if others have the same problem here. My cell phone is a Tilt 2 with AT&T. I can't get the mobile help desk site to work on my phone. I constantly get a 504 Gateway timeout error. It will work on the iPhone on AT&T as well as on any phone on the Verizon network but it will not work on Tilt 2. I spent some time talking with AT&T and they told me it is because their MediaNet servers can't compress the site enough to send it. I asked
Annoying username\password box keeps popping up.
We have the 7.0.0.1 build in place. We use the AD authentication and passthrough enabled. Sometimes all works fine and sometimes we get a Windows (not a ServiceDesk) prompt box asking for username and password. Whatever we type in there doesn't seem to satisfy this and it pops up again. Wherever the browser is pointing to i.e http://servername:8080 is related to the popup box - in this case the box will say "Connect to severname" if we use the IP address e.g. http://10.0.0.30:8080 it'll pop up and

Site not filling for requests submitted via API
We're using the API interface to submit tickets from our Software Installation Self Service system to SD+. We're using the "Operation=AddRequest" function, and we're using the "RequesterEmail" value to identify the requester. However, the "Site" is not filling in for the requester, therefore our site-based rules are not being engaged. Is this a known bug with the API interface?
Upgrade Issue from SDP Build 7022 to 7500
We are looking to upgrade our SDP from build 7009 to 7605. When we go from 7022 to 7500, our asset list has issues. All of the assets that were servers are now lumped in with the workstations. Also I get an ajax error stating that an object is required when I try to add a new product under Admin. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?
