Approvable requests
Hello everyone! I'd like to ask to add such feature as approvable requests. In my organization, along with generic requests, we have requests that needs to be approved. For example, some person want me to give him access to some share, or to install specific software. Of course, I dont know if that person should have access to share. And thats why this request needs to be approved by some other people (manager or someone else). I think it will not be too difficult to add such feature. Thanks!

Data Archiving - Flexible Date Options
I've just upgraded to 7602 and the new data archiving options is a nice addition to SD+ but I would like to see something a bit more flexible when selecting which records to archive. I would like to be able to select a specific date - so for instance, I want to archive all records that are closed and have a closed date before 1st Jan 2009. That way, I can keep my current years records from complete calendar years together for reporting purposes (or it could be half years or quarters if that was appropriate).
PDF of Admin Guide
Is a PDF of the Admin Guide available? It is difficult to keep changing windows to look at the online help while trying to configure ServiceDesk Plus. Thanks.
Deleting a Vendor Relationship or Product

Link request
I don't know if this is already implemented or not but I would like the ability to link request. E.g I may have a request to build a new server with ID 1234, however I could have two sub request e.g buy parts as ID 1235 and install OS as ID 1236. The way that the linking could work is: ID: 1234 is linked to request 1235, 1236 ID 1235 is linked to request 1234 ID 1236 is linked to request 1234

Email attachment becoming main request.
Hi Lately we've discovered that when sending an email with an email attachment in it to a mailbox, after fetching it the attachment becomes main request and the main email is gone. In ServiceDesk it looks like normal request with nothing unusual, only because we have a copy of the original mail which was sent we were able to notice this. We're working on the Exchange 2007.
Custom Query: Average time between open and close/resolve
I'm surprised that a query like this is not part of the default reports. I want to see the average time a request is in another status than "closed" or "resolved" Preferably per month. We run SD+ on windows. Help appreciated.

Network Scanning for Printers - Uses HOSTNAME for Asset Name, but has a 13 character limit.
I'm just in the process of adding all our network printers to SDP+ but I'm struggling to find something that I works how I want it. All our network printers are in the same range (192.168.2.51-192.168.2.99) so I have added a scan range under Network Scan. If I then scan this range it picks up the printers and does one of two things...If the HOSTNAME of the Printer is 13 characters or less, then the printer is added using the hostname. If the hostname is longer than 13 characters (which a lot of

When creating a request, the system gives an error "no permission to create"
Hello. When our technicians create a request in AdventNet (Version 7.6 Build 7601), it says that there are no permissions to create a request. Though a few minutes ago, this request is logged.

Disable Adding Requester Accounts Automatically
Good Afternoon Everyone, When someone sends a request to ServiceDesk, the system automatically puts them in the list as a Requester. Is there a way to disable that? We get people who are external to the company sending informational emails to addresses that are piped into ServiceDesk (for example, Dell sending us licensing information or product information). Why would I want that person to be in the list as a Requester? The main issue is that, since they are called a Requester, they're also in

Blank Screen Opening SD
Hi, I have had problems, myself and other users of our service desk. We often see a completely white / blank screen when opening the service desk. I can often remedy this by removing the SESSIONID cookie that the service desk creates. I don't know why it happens, but a completely empty page is returned, not even html tags, just pure white, like the sd crashed or had an error and didn't send back a page. Could this be investigated please. I am on build 7506. Regards
Server crashed and restored but SDP will not start (v.6003)
Hi, I had a brain fart and removed SQL off of the server which I didn't realize SDP was using for it's database, I thought it was utilizing MYSQL...I was wrong!!! Anyways, to make a long story short. My BackUp Admin restored the entire server from Symantec BackUp Exec and eventhough everything seems to be back, SDP will not start. Event Logs shows Event ID: 100 | Category: wrapper | Source: servicedesk "There may be a configuration problem: please check the logs." Event ID: 7034 | Category: None

Anyone else using Asset management in SD Plus Enterprise with any success?
I am running into a significant amount of service oriented issues and wondering if anyone else has workarounds. 1. If you have a workstation (Dell in our case) and search for the service tag under assets it will not return any matches. a. If you switch the search field to workstation it does however work - resulting in a loss of time by having to switch multiple areas to search. 2. If you have a existing piece of equipment in inventory (Laptop name corpmjdoe) and issue a replacement

Scanning Mac (OS X) doens't get the serial number
Hi, I am currently testing SD+ 7.6 and it seems to have fixed problems relating scanning Mac OS X machines. While SD+ is now able to scan hardware and software info, it seems to leave out very important peace of information: System Serial Number. Without the S/N, there is now way to link the scanned machine to the machines already in SD+ (created manually or imported via CSV). If there is an asset with the same workstation name, SD does assume that it is the same machine. Our workstation name include

workstations inventory
We use ae_scan.vbs as logon script for inventory, domain scan is not using. If I open any WS in the assets, I don't see 'last scan' date (see attachment, yellow string). Is it by design ? Should be updated this date after ae_scan.vbs ? If I will press 'Scan Now', computer will be scanned and this field updated. Is there a way to check, was computer details updated in assets after ae_scan ? Thanks
