Server crash
Hello, I am in a bit of a pickle. Our server crashed and we had some semi-serious data corruption. Long story short I don't have a SD backup of Servicedesk. All I have is a backup of the instal folder. Is there anyway that I can reinstall the application and migrate the data to the new installation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Chris

AD login issues for Helpdesk
We are having an issue with our Helpdesk install, the AD server it was pointing to has blown up (It was a non critical machine and was there as a backup to our site AD server). None of our users and our admins can login, how can I repoint the AD links without being able to login, is there a script or db entry we can amend? Kind Regards Chris Smith
Is this product worth purchasing?
I am considering replacing my Track-It! software with something like ServiceDesk, LANDesk or Altiris. From the number of support issues it seems that SD has a great deal of bugs. What is the current user verdict?
What happened to the Request Types?
I am running SD+ v7.0.0 build 7005 and within the Admin area there are Request Types defined. However, when I create a request there is no field on the form for me to specify the request type. I have double checked all of the obvious places, but can't see one anywhere or any setting to enable/disable it. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks Jonathan
Request template information into tasks
I'm testing version 7 of SD+ and trying to create request templates. I have modified the standard new joinee template that is on there by default. I populate the description with the new user details, when the tasks are created, none of this information is populated in the task, ie create AD entry is the blank standard task template from the new joinee template. am I missing something ? I would assume that the call created with the information in the description would auto populate into the task

SD+6 to 7 Upgrade - Let the public help you to help us!
Dear Adventnet Team, Please consider this suggestion as based on the current tremendous frustration of your current paying client base who has been eagerly awaiting the ability to upgrade to 7.0 for a very long time now; I think it would be prudent of you to consider the following recommendation. You have a huge base of capable individuals in the technology field that I am sure are more than willing to provide you with "free" quality assurance release testing. My recommendation is to publish a link
Business Rules actions should override any Request Defaults
It is my opinion Business Rules actions should override any Request Defaults rather than the other way around. Setting a default field value in build 7002 completely cancels out the ability to define exceptions for that field based on business rules. Not only would it provide much better Rules flexibility, but it makes more sense given the general definition of what "default" means. Thanks for considering.
backup script does not start service after backup
I have a scheduled task that runs the following script on my ServiceDesk server every day at 1 a.m.: cd c:\adventnet\me\servicedesk\bin call sd_service.bat -p server\default\conf\wrapper.conf call backupdata.bat call sd_service.bat -t server\default\conf\wrapper.conf I know that the last line of the script is supposed to restart the service, but it does not work. Every day when I come in to work the service has not restarted. When I log into the server, the service appears to be attempting to start,
Monitors
I have created an IT asset called monitor and imported a load of monitor assets in to it. The only way I can see to attach them to a computer or user is with add relationship. Is this correct? I have a monitor now that has died and want to remove its relationship but can't see any way to do that! Thanks Richard
Accidently load lots of Software Licenses
I somehow incorrectly entered a software license that had a quantity of 54426 records. The software License portion of Service Desk becam unresponsive. I went into the database directly and delte the records in the SoftwareLicenses table. The Software license portion is still really slow. What did I miss?
Language issue
Hello again.. I have a 2003/sql2005/7005 ML Enterprise config.. In this configuration ML seems to work excellent. There are some small issues with the language translation to Norwegian though.. Is there any way we can adjust this ourselves or maybe participate in the translation work? The "Edit request" button contains the Norwegian character �.. It translates to some rubbish.. There are a couple of these while they are correct in other places.. (Collation is correct) "Free disk space" is not the

Email responses to tasks assigned to non technicians
Hello, Could anyone assist me to set up efficiently getting tasks assigned to non technicians? I am setting up a template for a New Joinee and want to assign the task of setting up a desk and furniture to a non-licensed technician. By creating a technician from an "Office Manager" requester and removing the log-in, I can get a task assigned to an Office Manager and an email notification sent to him. The licensed technician who has been assigned the request can cut and paste the new joinee information
Custom filter view to show unassigned cases not working
Hi, I am using version - 7.0.0 Build 7002 I have created a new custom filter view that is using the following options; 1. Request status is not closed, resolved, development fixed AND 2. technician is not simon, robo technician This view should basically show me all my open, onhold, waiting for customer, development, etc cases plus any unassigned cases The problem is when new cases are automatically created by someone sending an email it makes the technician field set to 'none'. As you see in step

Retain email header when emailing help desk?
We found out that when a request is replied to by sending an email from an email client - you can not see who the message was sent too in the conversations section. If we want to document communications, it would be nice to see who else the email went too. Thanks again.
New notification - closure of tasks
It would be nice to have the ability to auto-notify the technician assigned to a service request when a task under the service request is completed. I don't see how to auto-notify on that, and closing tasks doesn't seem to mark the request as unread or anything. So figuring out that tasks have been completed under a particular service request is sort of a guessing game. Thanks!
Add note when making assignment to technician
I would find it useful to be able to add a note when I assign a request to someone. This could be optional, but I'd love to be able to give extra information, why I'm assigning, etc, without the need to create a note separately.

Would it be possible to have the option to assign the same request to more than one tech as some tasks we take on need more than one person

ServiceDesk Plus Speaks Your Language
Hello, I've been evaluating your software for a week now and my firm is really considering buying it after my presentations ... but there is one huge setback. There is no Bulgarian localization of the product. This is where are i turn to you for help. Is there any planning for a Bulgarian translation ? And if not is there a way that I translate the program to Bulgarian so that my firm can use it ? - If yes i would gladly donate the translation for any other use. My second question is about the Dictionary
Automatically purge backups
I like that you can configure service desk to perform a backup. I'd like to be able to have it purge automatically backups older than x days, or only keep the past x number of backups. That would be really nice.

Problem with scheduling and CPU 7004
Hello.. I am running Win2003 server, SQL 2005 Std, SD+7004 ML, All on the same physical machine. I have two issues.. 1. Java.exe and mssql is constantly chewing 80-90% cpu.. Anyone have the same problem? 2. Scheduled jobs don't work correctly. Reminders do not occur and scheduled scans don't run. When I do a manual Domain scan it seems to run fine, but it stops at 100%, saying 614 of 615 workstations scanned. I have a feeling that these two problems are connected somehow..

No Login after shutdown of Domain Controller
Hi all, I use ServiceDesk and the userlogin via domain. Last week I had to shutdown one of my Domain Controllers. Unfortunally, it seems that this was the DomainController, which ServiceDesk uses as Loginserver. Now that this server is shut down, ServiceDesk does not accept logins any more. And I don't remember the admin password for local verification. It is not possible to start the old Domaincontroller again. Can anybody help me? J�rgen
Java.exe consuming 100% cpu, servicedesk unresponsive
I am currently reviewing SD+ to decide whether to buy it or not. However, after the initial install, the webpage that loads from a client is completely blank, and on the server java.exe consumes 100% cpu. This happens after just a couple of hours. While I see a lot of positive things about SD+, this is definitely a showstopper. Could you help me correct this issue? I am running it on Windows 2003 Server Standard, the client is a Vista machine with IE7, but even from an XP client with Firefox, the
Cannot close request if no sub-category defined
I installed the trial version of Service Desk Plus v7 yesterday and it worked first time, easiest installation of anything involving MySQL that I've done. Fantastic. Anyway, I was testing the the email fetching functionality and sent an email to the helpdesk which was received and allocated a category of General. The General category didn't have any sub-categories or items defined. Today, whilst customising the helpdesk I made the sub-category field on the request form mandatory without thinking
Cannot access Helpdesk server from another PC
I have set up a ServiceDesk server, but I cannot access it from another PC using the URL: http://ip:8080. Could this be a limitation in the free version? I have done this for other web servers, so I don't think it is a problem with our network.
SSH for Network scanning
What are the requirements to get SSH login working for network scanning? Have a Windows PC with CYGWIN installed and SSH module operating. I can use a SSH client to connect to it and login so I am happy that it works. Just network scan is failing to login to the machine with the same username and password used manually, so I am assuming I haven't done something, somewhere in ServiceDesk + ( V7 enterprise - 7005 ) All help appreciated, especially the RTFM bits! Regards, Andy
