Add Technician
I have a new technician I am needing to add. We have Active Directory Authentication and Passthrough turned on. But when I go to add this new tech, I am getting the following error: FAILURE :Login with same name already exists. Please provide different value for Login Name. Why is it doing that? I have added other users with no problem, but this particular user is not adding properly from Active Directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ticketing/Asset question for everyone & servicedesk support
Hi, So I am trying to find out how other people use assets with tickets. If a tech recieves a ticket for a problem with Printer X, I assume everyone would just assign that printer as the asset in the ticket. My question is how can you track how many tickets have been opened up where that asset was referenced as the problem equipment? Is there a better way to manage equipment in tickets for running reports? Thanks! Ken
"Deleting Others Time Entry" permission is buggy
I just had a technician complain that he couldn't edit his own Work Log. I checked his roles, and after some testing, I've found that I had to enable the "Deleting Others Time Entry" permission in order for him to edit his own Work Log. Here are the problems I have with this behavior... 1.) Why didn't the tool recognize that it was his own Work Log and allow him to edit it? 2.) Now that I have granted him this access, he is likely able to edit\delete other technician's work logs. Not cool! Please

Problem with scheduled report showing incorrect data
I have created a matrix report to show created requests for the current month and then scheduled it to run at 6.15 in the morning and send me the report. On checking the data it is not correct against the data in service desk when I create a custom view on requests today for example the automated report is showing 8 requests opened yesterday but when I check the data only 7 are showing. On running the scheduled report manually it is showing the correct information. How can I resolve this problem?
7.6 Mac Issue with '&' in the requester name
Hi, I believe we have found a Mac only issue with 7.6. If a requester name has an '&' in it on a Windows machine it shows as '&' but on the Mac it shows as '&'. The issue is that the system doesn't recognize '&' as being '&' and asks if you want to add a new requester on saving the request. Steps we took: new request press find requester button select requester save ticket prompted with messageOn a Windows machine the display is correct and it does not appear to be an issue.

Why isn't mode set to "Self Service" when a user submits his own request?
When users login and submit their own request, the mode does not automatically set to "Self Service". However, emailed requests created by the system automatically set the mode to "Email". Is this a bug, an oversight or by design? I haven't upgraded to 7.6 yet (still running 7514), so perhaps this has changed...?

Update success?
I am currently running two ManageEngine products - ServiceDesk+ and FacilitesDesk. In the past year, I have NEVER had a successful upgrade for either product. I have had to contact MangeEngine every time I updated either product and in some cases had to send them my databases and wait for them to upgrade them so they could be installed with the latest version. I was wondering if this is a normal experience for other ManageEngine software users? Thanks!

Workstation scan schedule to twice a day
We are finding that the "once a day" workstation scan schedule is not sufficient for our organization. It would be great if we could schedule two scans in a day; once in the morning and once in the evening. However, the ability to to do 2 scans at anytime in the day would be very beneficial. Can this be added?
Email User Creation
Our organization has an Active Directory that we are part of, and we mainly support the users within one OU. Due to that reason we only import our users from that OU into service desk. We do support a few other users in different locations in the directory, and they usually email their request in. When the user emails their request into SDP the software creates a “local” account for the user if they do not have one. My question is can we have SDP search through AD before it creates the “local”

Disable Auto Append
The normal behaviour for SDP is to merge e-mail replies with the existing request if the appropriate information is in the subjuect line of the e-mail reply. We have two separate SDP setups, one for Helpdesk and one for Guest Relations. When Guest Relations forwards a request from their SDP to the Helpdesk SDP, the Helpdesk system appends the new request to an existing ticket (that has already been closed) instead of making a new request. I want to be able to disable this functionality. It would
Re-branding lost after upgrade
Last night, I upgraded our production server from 7514 to 7602. In doing so, it appears we've lost our re-branding. Please let me know what file(s) I need to modify in order for the Browser Task Bar ID to be changed from "ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus" to "My Company Name". I have already edited the settings for the login page (changed login.jsp to index.htm), and the login page is back to our design... I just need to get the re-branding portion fixed. Thanks!

Escalation based on technician
We are moving to ServiceDesk Plus from TrackIt and so far are very happy, but we have one issue. We heavily used TrackIt's escalation based on technician and I can not find how to accomplish this with ServiceDesk Plus. I need to setup a rule so that if a tech does not finish a work order by it's due date their supervisor get a notification, then after 24 hours if its not resolved their supervisors director gets notified. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andy

technician admin rights
It's great that you refined technician rights. However, I would like to give a technician rights to edit requesters but cannot see contracts. Besides SDSiteAdmin (SDAdmin is out of the question) I don't find any possibility to access the "Admin" tab. i.e.: I would like that some technicians have the rights to access the "Admin" tab, but not to access "Contract" tab, for example. Thanks!
