unlike simple hostname fully qualified url invokes AD auth.
When I provide the host name as the URL to my ServiceDesk Plus, I am already authenticated to the server in our office net here as I am logged into our Act Dir, therefore I do not get an Act Dir authentication prompt. When I instead specify a fully qualified domain URL, I get an Act Dir auth prompt. Can you point me in a right direction to assure my users do NOT get an Act Dir auth prompt for fully qualified domain URLs?

regularly crashes
We are on build 6012 running on an MSSQL database.. Occasionally, probably once a week actually, Servicedesk will crash and will require the services to be restarted. This is something we've been dealing as we've been anticipating the release of the migration pack for v7.0.0. However, when we restarted it this morning, we received approximately 20 emails that had been sent to our helpdesk since Monday that we had not gotten at all. This is the first time this has ever happened, however it concerns

Hi, my service desk plus was working for a few months until recently everytime i tried to send a email to the help desk system the application doesn't pick it up.

Manually adding software license information
Hi All, I'm new to SDP, and are just finding my way around this very comprehensive software package. One of the main things I wish to do is provide for central management and recording of our software licenses, and I would like to commence manually inputing our license records (e.g. software name, license keys) into SDP. Is there a way to manually input this information into the Assets > Software > Software Licenses area? Thanks, Matt
for my own curiosity
How are you guys having your people create tabs? What features are you using? I feel that we are underulitlizing the software potential and would like to compare notes as to how everyone is using the software? For Example: When creating the tickets for help desk, we are using the problems tabs to have a dispatcher create the tickets. I wish my exchange admin would allow me to open up smtp so I could have the support tickets sent to me via email, but I can deal without that. What other features do
In Use/In Store values don't seem to be working
I am using version 7.0.0 build 7005 of the Enterprise version of Servicedesk. When I go in to the Assets tab and list the workstations I am unable to change their status. I click on 'In Store' and get the 'Assign/Associate' screen. However, when I choose 'In Use' from the dropdown and press okay nothing happens. The status stays at 'In Store' even after screen refreshes. Is this a bug? Thank you.

Mail Fetching
Hi, I'm using SDP 7 Professional edition. Mail fetching doesn't work at all. Mail Fething status is "RUNNING" but nothing happens. How can I check that it is really RUNNING beside creating some test tickets and waiting for notification mail? May be there are some latent nuances I should know about?

Ticket creation via program control
I want to have an 3rd party event manager create a ticket in Service Desk Plus via program control. I can program the event manager to do whatever I need it to do, such as: 1) generate traps, or 2) open a ODBC connection and perform sql commands, or 3) use any available Service Desk plus perl or other API to create ticket. But, I don't want to use email since i want to avoid problems of email service delays or failures. Is there an API document on ways 3rd party programs can automatically create

Requester/technicians showing user id instead of full name
After upgrading to 7004 my requesters and technicians are showing as their user ids instead of their full name. For example: The user "Michael Jordan" is showing up as mjordan. This product is plagued with issues. Every "upgrade" breaks more than it fixes. It is unbelievably frustrating. Dont get me started on the phone support!

Genral Failure on every PC scan ...was able to scan before
A few days ago everything was working fine and there has been no changes, but now everytime I do a manual scan of a workstation, I get a "General failure while performing the operation" message.

Upgrade to 6014 - observations
I upgraded our production server from build 6010 to 6014 (using MySQL) a couple mights ago, and it appears to have completed successfully with no major hiccups, other than a couple techs experiencing some errors that disappeared after clearing their browser cache. Just wanted to offer a note of appreciation and to show others here that not all upgrades end in catastrophe. The one curious thing I did run into though, was that after shutting down SDP and starting the upgrade process, the SDP service
Requester as approver
Hi, everyone. Is it possible to assign SDApprovePO to requester ? Or is it possible to create such role for technician to recieve such interface like Self Service Portal plus POs? For example I whant business manager (not part of IT) to be possible to approve PO directly from Self Service portal. I have no Account managers logged as technician possible to request approval from business. Right now I have to print this PO and than take a signature from manager and after that approve request manually
Signature on outgoing emails
Is it possible or would it be possible to include in a future release the ability to add a technician signature email to replys to job requests? As a technician if i email a client from outlook i include a signature with my contact details on it. but i have not found a way to include this information in Servicedesk when i am emailing a client about a job. The only way i can see this happening at the moment is if i copy and paste one from a text file or something. it would be much better if i could
Previously could do domain scan, now cannot, running samba
Hi All, I installed SD 7 on a windows 2000 server and could never successfully run a Domain Scan I called tech support, they said it was because I'm using Samba with an ldap backend. I installed it on a Windows XP machine and it scanned the domain without problem. Now I called support again to ask them to get it working on my windows 2000 server (where it will be installed if we buy it), and I went to show them how it worked on the windows xp machine, and it is giving an error as well, it tries enumerating
Relation asset-user from AD in SDP
Hi, We have a customer who is working with SDP 6 (6013), he had assigned the assets (Pc�s) with the users, but he recently he migrated these PC�s from Windows XP to Vista and lost this relation between users-assets. He tell us that has established this relation in AD, this is, he link between the user with their desktop, but in ServiceDesk doesn�t appear this relation. What they can do or what we can recomend to do?

Ability to resend approval notices
If a user receives an approval notice email, but accidentally delete it before responding to it, there is currently no way to resend an approval notification. The only option is to create another approval which will generate another notification. You then end up with two approval submissions on the request, and only one will get answered. Perhaps there should be a button beside the approval in the request details that lets you quickly resend the notification email to the user.
Resend approval notice
Maybe I am missing something, but there doesn't appear to be any way to resend an approval notice in the event that the user deletes the email by accident. We can, of course, send another approval notice, but then that shows two identical approvals on the request, only one of which will be answered. Is there an option I am missing somewhere to resend the approval notice for an approval already in the system, or will I need to make this a feature request? I am running build 6014 btw.
Need to disable PassThrough Authentication
