Hi I was wondering if you have added windows authentication to Service Desk plus? My IT guys said that you currently support mixed mode. As a DBA I am weary to allow this. Rgds JL
Approval notification - after specific number of recomendations
Hi Currently when a change is created the CAB approver will not approve the change until a specific number of people have recommended it. They check back into the change every hour or so to check if the recomendations have been given.. a time consuming task. I would like to set up a notification to the approver once the relevant number of recomendations have been given... is that possible? Ta Steph..

Requestors (and technicians) prompted by Internet Explorer to authenticate when opening some SDP emails
Hi, Requestors and technicians are prompted for authentication when they open some SDP generated emails using Outlook. We are using Internet Explorer 6 and Outlook 2003, with SDP configured for Windows AD pass-thru authentication. This doesn't apply to all emails - at the moment I can't see a common factor. The authentication dialog box that appears is as follows: Connect to w3kwebsrv01 Connecting to ictservicedesk.domain.local username: Password: [ ] Remember my password OK Cancel. w3kwebsrv01 is

SQL query string for 'resource cost'
Can someone please assist me with an MS SQL query string that will return the 'resource cost' for an asset as part of a custom report? I've tried using the 'COST' column from the 'ResourceCost' table but I can't seem to get the right string syntax to produce the output. I keep getting variants of the 'Invalid column name' error. Thank you for your help.
ServiceDesk on SQL Server 2008

ServiceDesk Plus v7605 Testing Issues Thread
If you are like me, you test all updates to SDP in your development environment as thoroughly as possible before going live in production. I am starting this thread as a central location for us (the SDP customers/Admins) to record issues we run across when testing the latest version of SDP. My thinking is more heads are better than one and if one of us is having an issue, there is a good possibility that others will as well. At the least, recording the issue here will give other SDP Admins a “heads-up”

Scheduled data load / update?
Hi I'm adding a list of all our current projects into EUDesktop as a new field in Change. This field is a picklist. The project list is held within project server so a sql database... is it possible to set up a scheduled task that will pick up the project lists from project server and load them into EUDesktop? removing the old picklist entries first. In the past (on other packages) i've set up DTS packages to move the data around. Any thoughts on if this is possible / how to achieve it? Many

Request ID based search has been removed from the request search in the left panel
The above referenced text is listed in the latest Enhancement Service Pack under SD 25985. My question is this: WHY did you remove this functionality?????? My colleagues and I have in the past used this feature to search for issues that may be related via the SD #. For instance, we oftentimes split issues for various reasons, but the 2 separate issues need to stay "related" to each other via the original issue number. We have been able to put in the original issue number and search and the results

I'm on the template "E-mail technician when note attached to a Request."

Ability to return items from a PO
In the PO module, it would be nice to have an option to return items on a PO and delete them from inventory. Or just the option to add notes to a PO after it has been closed. That way I can delete the items from inventory and note the PO that a certain line number was returned. Thanks, Tyson
Is it possible to build a multilevel SLA?
I'm evaluating ServiceDesk Plus as a replacement for our curren system. However I can't really get it to work the way our helpdesk is set up; When an email is received it should create a request with status as open. 1. line will start looking at the call and can use up to 4 hours to try to resolve the call. Within the 4 hours, 1.line must either resolve or escalate to 2. line. When incident is escalated an SLA should be started based on priority. So: total SLA is 4 hours at 1 line + whatever time

SSL not working
I'm trying to get an SSL cert from Godaddy to work with SD+ I've done all the steps to generate a keystore as outlined in the faqs and everything goes as planned. I edited the server.xml file with the keystore password and changed the web server port to 443 https Soon as I do that though and restart SD+ the connection fails. I setup a wireshark on the server hosting it and notice that when the request comes in, the server is sending back to the client an ACK RST Netstat doesn't appear to show anything

Additional database needed for requestors and assets
We have a lab area with at least 50 "Virtual Stores". Each store has it's own set of specs that need to be associated in tickets and assets. But requestors can work at several stores a day and assets are moved periodically. We can't associate a store with a workstation or server, because the equipment gets moved around. How can I keep a database with the store information so that when tickets are created, the requestor can access this and include the information in the ticket?

Managing Software
SDP has a large list of software installed on the network, however many of them are the same or just different versions. Is there a way of merging these to create software groups or similar thing? e.g Adobe Reader 8.1.0 Adobe Reader 8.1.2. I would like to appear as one or a group. Can this be done
Views
Is it possible to use the same ManageEngine for different views? Problem I want to use the software for our Helpdesk whereby clients can log there request and I want to use the same ManageEngine whereby the testers can log request for our developers? Reason I want to keep both these request seperate as not to obscure the stats and reports but yet want to track both within ManageEngine
Asset Database
I haven't seen this clearly spelled out so I will just ask. Can you import an access database, of say product names and serials and model numbers in to Service Desk?
scheduled shutdown of ServiceDesk
We are testing SDP 7.0.0/7009 and hae noticed that sometimes the next morning SD is no longer resonding. We suspect that this may have something to do with the nightly backup running on the server. So, I would like to shutdown SDP before the backup starts and then restart it after the backup has finished. To do so I've created a batch file which runs the following command: cmd /k "C:\Documents and Settings\GBONLAdmin\Start Menu\Programs\ServiceDesk Plus ManageEngine\Shutdown ServiceDesk.lnk" Basically
Weird visualization on a frame
At my company, we have an intranet we use for many things and we wanted to show the Help Desk application as part of "modules" of our intranet, we inserted a button on the modules menu on the left frame and targeted it to the Service Desk Plus application on the right frame (which is actually the same server, but on a different port). The thing problem is that the application is shown without any CSS style, image, javascript, as if there were no files, and if I shift-click on the same button to open
Can I hide "Manage custom views" in Requests?
Hi, Is it possible to hide or remove the possibilities to for technicians to manage custom views. Ex, If a technician makes a view including certain statuses, and after a while the company adds another status. Then there is a chance that the technicians filter will not work correct and therefore miss requests. /Mattias
