Annoying Bug w/ User Names
For consistency sake across our network we use the same login id for SD+ as we do for everything else - first initial + last name. We have two users whose user id's are clin and clinn. But whenever clinn puts something in - it treats it like something from clin - like its not searching for the enitre username - only enough to match. If clin puts something in it does treat it like something from clin. Is there a fix or workaround?

Recreating a blank database on another server
Hi, I am attempting to re-setup a MySQL database on another server as the backend for our ServiceDesk Plus app. I have successfully run "changeDBServer.bat", which has created the "servicedesk" database on our MySQL server, however the database is completely blank, in that it has 0 tables. Could anyone let me know how I force the empty tables to be created please ? I have already tried calling reinitialiseDB.bat, but that seems to do nothing.

MSDE Problem - sqlservr is at 100% CPU charge
Hello, I'm testing a ServiceDesk Plus v6, and I decided to put on a VMC with a P4 3Ghz and with 1Gb Virtual Ram. I installed over a XP SP2 with all the critical updates and .net 1.1 and 2.0 then I installed for supporting the DB a MSDE SP4. Then I installed SD. Configured it over the MSDE no problem. The problem began when I started the SD service. My SQL service task went crazy, eating all my CPU resources, and it's allways on 100%... 99% ~ 98% ... 100%... and so one. Then I thing that could be

AD import failing less than half way through.
When importing from AD, Total Requesters in AD = 2667, the import fails less than half way through. The import worked 100% the first several times used but since then the percent of failed records is nearly always the same. I have sent the log(s) to the Support Techs but they can not figure out the problem. We have 6 domains I can import from and I have tried all 6 at different times (even the weekends and evenings) and nothing seems to help/work. We are using version 5.5.0. Importing from CSV is

Hi Everyone, I have rebuilt a new Service Desk Server and copied the Whole data from the old server to the new Server. Everything works cool However, The $RequestLink seems to be stuck to the old Server's Link.

Department not for further usage option
Hi, I have disabled some of the departments by checking 'Department not for further usage' check box in Admin > Department module. But I still see those disabled departments in other modules. I can still edit the request and set it back to the disabled department (since the dropdown menu still shows those disabled departments). Also, in the report, even though I de-associated these disabled departments from users, the reports still showing the disabled departments even though the requests showing
difference between backup 6002 and 6003??
Hi Everyone! Backup_sdp_6003_04_18_2007_09_09.data is my last backup file and the problem is that I can't open it. My latest backup file is Backup_sdp_6002_04_24_2007_15_08.data and it works good.

Backup into specific file name
Hi AdventNet users, I have searched the forum and the online manual and i have only found the instructions to do the automatic backup for each day (backUp.bat).

Technician access right
Hello, To have the SDReport role might have been useful for technician, but it seems they still cannot change the due date if they don't have SDAdmin access right. I granted them Full control on Requests, assuming it was sufficient, but no. Could you please advise me on how I should proceed ? It's a severe issue for me as Helpdesk are outsourced and I don't want them to see contracts or even being able to validate purchase. Thank you Loic

In one of my Requests it doesn't show the section "View Requester Conversation, directly under the section that tells you the Request Subject and Description details. When I click on Resolution tab it is only showing one resolution added to the Request yet there have been two added. When I click in to the History tab, it shows that two resolutions have been added. I don't have this problem in any other Requests.
Requester Viewing Assigned TO Technician
Is there any way to block the requester from seeing the Technician who is assigned to a ticket? Using the "Request Form Customizer" I have Requester can Set and Requester can View both unchecked. This prevents the requesters from seeing who is assigned when the ticket is in full view. However when the requester has a list of their open tickets they can see the tech who is assigned. My reason for doing this is so that requesters are not bothering the individual tech before they get to the specific
