required fields
Hello, I have just noticed a bug when completing a call. I started to create a ticket that would be closed as I opened it, and forgot to select a required field; it gave me the notice that the required field had not been completed, but instead of keeping me at the create call screen, it created the ticket without the required fields. Could someone please test this and let me know. thanks Pete
6006: Preventive Maintenance Tasks
Hi For some strange reason, preventive maintenance tasks are no longer being actioned correctly :?. We have 4 tasks setup which should be actioned daily. Today, only one of them appeared under requests. The day before, none appeared but running them mainly, pushed them into requests. Any idea what the problem could be? :)

Request - Location
I am in need of help, the company I work for has 50+ branches around the UK e.g Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham etc., with no departments within them, unlike the HQ which has several. I currently enter branches as locations, but I also have to set up branches as departments, as there does not appear to be an option within creating requests to select the location. Have I missed something somewhere, or is this by design or a flaw?

Request Templates
Hi we would like to use request templates as easy and quick tool for requesters, so we create some basic templates. Everything works great, but there is one problem. We would like that requesters would simply choose template and add only description to it. We don't want to give them opportunity to mix up request details, owner details and category details. So it's good that common users don't see that fields, but in other hand, requests created from templates by non-technicians are missing this defined
Dept. list missing values in Requester's record
We need to manage a number of Departments (about 50) in different locations. I've created about 20, and then imported users list from a CSV file, including a column with the appropriate Department name. All went fine, but now I'm facing a strange behaviour: if I create a new Requester, the Dept drop-down lists just a part of the complete Department list (14 ?). More, if I delete one Dept into the appropriate section of Administration, th drop-down list kind of "pops out" one of the 14 listed, adding
Reminders do not seem to do anything!

Presale question: Workstation scanning
Hello, I do consulting for several businesses, ranging in workstation size from 5 to 25. Doing a workstation scan and having those assets documented broken down by client/business would be very helpful. I am confused as to how it would work: 1) I assume that I have Servicedesk installed on my server 2) so how are the remote workstations scanned? An application I run while onsite? Or is it something ActiveX related while browsing to the server? Would Servicedesk be a good program for me to implement?

Contract Renewal
hi i have an issue where i renew contracts, (contracts are associated with assets) when the contract expires it shows up in the inventory for that particular asset after renewing the contract and making sure the asset is associated with the new renewed contract the asset is still showing as being out of contract. this happened with version 6 as well as 6007 build, it is really annoying as i now have no way of figuring out easily which assets is out of contract and which one isn't also i believe there
Java doing strange things?
Checking the event viewer logs on our server we are receiving a lot (a couple a minute) of kerberos errors. Obviously created by SD+ as they also appear on our old server. There are also a great deal of pings being sent out from java which I don't understand. However, whatever java is doing it is eating up memory as after several hours the memory useage grows from 250MB to over 1.5GB which is obviously degrading performance. All scans AD/Network/Domain have been turned off. So what exactly are all

windows domain scan
just registered the program and i am now attempting the full windows domain scan for machines. we have many that are failing. question: when it says "Connection to RPC server in the workstation failed." is there a way to fix this with a group policy setting domain wide? question #2: when it says "Either access denied for the user or the remote DCOM option might be disabled in the workstation." is there a way to fix this via GPO?

Editing Notes in Request
When I try to edit a note in a request that has multiple notes I can only edit the last note created, not a previous one; even if I've clicked the edit icon next to the older note I wish to edit. Is there a fix for this?
Asset in Request
Hey everyone, I'm testing out the new release of service desk 6 and so far it's great! However I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find the ability to attach an asset to a request, like you can attach the workstation. I've found the option of "item" under the category / sub category but I understand that can be for anything. Forgive me if this has been addressed, or is still pending with new releases, but how do you add an asset? Thanks! Eric
looking for the professional communities opinion.
Good evening all, given the glorious move on advents part to provide off the shelf support for SQL server as part of thier service desk offering. however. having studied the backend structure of the SQL version database i am somewhat surprised to learn the following. The database architecture is that off merely flat tables (no procedures, triggers, views etc). with this in mind the only possible method that an application (in this case servicedesk plus) has of accessing the data is by use of "on
Report Critical Alarms on specific device
Hi, In MSP , is important to show to the customer the number of critical alarms on a device , and the time until they clear. This way , we can show that beacause we are notify immediately the customer IT team, will help this team to recover the device , sooner that before, so the MSP service is a real addtional value. How to prove this? which report could we use? using tickets by alarms and show the duration? And when an alarm is cleared , is possible to close the ticket related to the same alarm
Date to big int?
Hi, I'm trying to find a way either through SQL or php to convert a date to bigint where it will be inputted into the MS SQL database so that the original front end application can read it. So how would I go about converting? The reason behind this is that I have been handed the task of developing a PHP front end so that field technicians can complete tickets using their PDA's internet connection. Thanks Dominic

Exporting system settings?
Hello, I recently downloaded the trial version of ServiceDesk Plus and installed it on my local machine, in order to try it out without using up system resources on our servers. Now we are looking at purchasing the software. I am wondering if it is possible to migrate the configuration on my local machine over to our server once we have it installed, as opposed to having to re-enter all the information on the server. I tried searching these forums, and looked everywhere in the program, and couldn't
Moniotr 3rd Party SLA's
Hi Guys, we have several 3rd parties that we often have to contact to resolve issues, such as our telco when one of our managed WAN connections is down, is there a way, or have any of you worked out a way to keep track of SLA's from 3rd parties. We have our own internal SLA's which we can track through SDP, most of our 3rd parties provide a response and a resolution time and we would like to report on this to ensure at the end of the month they are meeting their agreed SLA's. The majority of 3rds
Test server for upgrades
Hi there, I am fairly new to this product and love what I see so far. I set up my servicedesk 6006 and upgraded to 6008 with no problems. I tested it first on a dummy server I have. I was wondering if your licencing permits test servers? I am enjoying implementing some of the patches you have made and tweaks available for my needs. What I dont want to do is test these on the live server and bring down the service that I chose and could be ridiculed for. I have no technicians on it, just the administrator

Plain Text Announcements/Survey
Hi All, We have SD Plus 6 with the latest Servicepack, we are launching the servicedesk to staff tomorrow but have a small issue. All announcements that you select to also send an email are sent in plain text, the survey request sent to staff is also in plain text, all other notifications are in rich text. Another thing with the announcemcnts, when you tave a look at the announcement through the self service protal all formatting is gone and its just one big block of text, which makes it very hard

Server Migration
We had a server crash so we copied the backed up information for service desk onto the new server but it doesn't pick up any of our entries for tasks, as well as our knowledge base. How can we get it to look at the right place for the info?
6007 killed ServiceDesk
Installed 6007 this morning on MSSQL build (6006) which had been running successfully for several days. Within minutes of coming back up under 6007 all connection to SD was lost. Could not even connect from localhost! Uninstall of 6007 is impossible as any attempt to uninstall says the option is not implemented (nor does it appear to have been in any of the patches we have on there). Have reinstalled 6006 on another server (which I was doing anyway) and restored successfully. So everything is hunky
Email collection no longer working after 6007
After we installed 6007, the email collection no longer worked. Also the ability to go into the email admin no longer works and the page times out. has anybody else experienced this? Is there a fix? At this point I am looking at un-installing 6007 and hoping that it does not break anything else.
