Scan Workstation Audit issue
Hi, I've found an issues with the way SDP identifies a workstation for audit proposes. The issue appears if you use a VPN client and audit the Workstation when the NORTEL VPN client is active. If you scan a machine with the VPN Active the MAC address reported is the "virtual/fake" MAC address of the Nortel client. The problem is that this MAC address is the same for all machines. Thus using the MAC address as the unique indentifier is not a good process. Unfortunatly MAC address can be duplicated
Automated approval?
We want to have users log into a standard account for example newuser. From this account they can create a request that will be assigned based on business rules to a specific tech (Tech A). Also, we want to have the approval process sent to our HR department immediatly after the request has been created so they can approval or disapprove the request for a new user account. Is this possible?
Service Desk VS Track-it
I am currently evaluating Track-it and Service Desk Plus. Has anyone used Track-it and switched? Does the asset inventory provide an audit so that future scans will show added software? Any feedback on use of product would be appreciated.

New Requests, by Email Only?
Hi, Is there a way to possibly prevent users from making requests from the helpdesk, but just allow them to request as normal via email. Users can do both at the moment, and I want to make it so they can only create requests through an email. We need to keep it so users can still login to the helpdesk to track pending requests and the status of them. Any Help Appreciated. Thanks Richard

ae_scan.vbs and Domain scan
Many times appear in history changes of the workstation: Operating System (Microsoft� Windows Vista� Business) - Name changed from Microsoft� Windows VistaT Business to Microsoft� Windows Vista� Business. When I make a scan with the script ae_scan.vbs the operating system is: Microsoft� Windows VistaT Business When I make a domain scan the operating system is: Microsoft� Windows Vista� Business The difference is just VistaT or Vista�.
Integrate multiple ManageEngine apps to one MySQL server...
Is there any documentation on integrating ServiceDeskPlus with say other ManageEngine apps, such as ADManager Plus and Event Log Monitor? It would be nice for these apps to be able to use one MySQL server and one web server with different ports configured, rather than running them as individual apps. Surely this can be done? Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post this in, I really didn't see any that fit the question.
Porcentage used
In implementing Service Desk Plus, for every user that uses percentage of server, network and memory ?..... this is to identify the management of demand, availability, capacity and continuity of service.

Weird bug in 7504 - wrong request comes up
We just converted from 7022. We have a few additional custom request fields defined. Evidently, if you add one of them as a column view when looking at your requests, and then sort on it, when you pick various requests within that view, the URL you go to appears to be the right request, however, you get a different request actually displayed. You get a different request that is in your list of requests from that view, but it's not the right one (most of the time -- sometimes you'll pick one that
File Attachment options for requests
I have just recently started using servicedesk 6. I love it, and we are using the heck out of it. I have a couple questions about the 'file attachment' feature for requests. 1. Is there any way to attach a file to an existing request without having to 'edit' it and browse/attach/etc. What I mean, is can I email a file to my pop account that is being checked by servicedesk, and format it in such a way that it picks it up and applies that file to the request? Say, like subject: $ticketnumber or something?
Discription (text box) can't be tabbed out of
Version: 7.5.0 Build 7504 When editing a ticket it is possible to tab through all the options until you get to the Description text box where it stops, I am not sure if this can be enabled but it would be nice to be able to tab on to the buttons at the bottom of the screen - out of the text box for description. Version: 7022 used to do this.

Problems with domain scan
Hi, For the last couple of months we haven't done any scans & turned the automation off. This was due to some stability issues we had before Christmas. As these issues have been resolved now, we decided to implement the asset scanning again. So after eventually getting through our change request procedures etc, I began today. All was going well until approx 41% through the scan SDP through a bit of a hissy fit & kicked everyone out of SDP and the scan just froze. Looked on the server, the SDP process

Request Due Date
Hi, Does anyone know why when amending the due date on a request that has failed SLA to after the original due date, it doesn't remove the SLA failure flag from the request? Quite often there are genuine reasons for wanting to change a request from an SLA fail to a pass, such as when a user reopens a call by responding to their Request Resolved email with "Thanks", which blows the SLA time. Is there any way to rescue a genuine SLA pass that the system has marked as a fail? Thanks, Paul.

Need Assistance in configuring mail fetching
I set up the mail fetching for Outgoing email successfully using SMTP on port 25. The issue is that I need a way to set up ITSD incoming mail so that it will take an email that is sent to the Helpdesk and automatically import it into a ticket. Because we are using Exchange 2003, we only use SMTP. Turning on POP or IMAP is not an option. Is there a way to do something in the business rules that would accomplish importing and logging the email? Thank you, Tracy
