need help scanning domain
Hey there, i'm fairly new to ManageEngine. -My objective is to automatically scan most of my hardware inventory on our network. I went into Admin section under Windows Domain Scan and added my domain controller. When i try to Scan it says "Enumerating orginaizational units" and jumps right into a scan. The scan only takes less than a minute and finishes with zero results. Anyone know where i would go from here... ?
AssetExplorer Testing Question
I'd like to test out the functionality of AssetExplorer before ServiceDesk is upgraded to include it. Is it possible to install AssetExplorer on the same server as ServiceDesk or should it be installed on a separate system? If it can be installed on the same system, are there any configurations I need to make to ServiceDesk before installing AssetExplorer...or vice versa?
SECURITY - Sending domain usernames and passwords via http
My network administrator wants me to remove Service Desk because he says sending the users domain username and password over http is completely insecure. Especially when sending that of admin group when setting up domain scans. Is there a way to enable https? Or must I not use the "domain passwords" feature, but then we would have to setup and administer hundreds of user passwords manually. Any suggestions?
Sending e-mail enterprise wide
Tried searching the forum for this but the search feature is not too friendly. Can you send a system wide e-mail from within ServiceDesk? Announcements are grand and all, but if my requesters are not constantly logging in they will not see it. Perhaps this is a feature request. Make it so there is an option to select X users for the announcement in question in addition to an option to e-mail them with the announcement info directly. Thanks

Accessing ManageEngine from any machine?
Is it, or should it be possible to access the manageEngine from a computer other than the server it was installed on without using remote desktop, etc... Our company is new to this software, and we are having problems bringing up the program unless we are directly on the server, or we remote connect directly to the server ManageEngine is installed on.

Scanned software on Windows Server 2003 x64
Generally very impressed and happy with the product / our purchase. One flaw that I can find (using the latest 5003 build): we actually rely fairly heavily on the scanned software list to coordinate licensing. We are using the x64 version of Windows Server 2003 on a number of terminal servers. While all x64 based software (by default installed in "C:\Program Files\") is scanned fine, it seems that 32-bit software installed on the system does not appear in the scanned software list (by default installed

Operational hours
Hello, I was wondering if the operational hours can be made flexible. We would want to have a spilt shift time. What i mean is we have a break for two hours for lunch, so if i count it the operational hours it ends up in 10 hours per day. Also, since the weekend is half a working day we have another 3 hours there. Would be good if this can be done. Regards, Roshan
E-mail Request Creation
Is there a way to set variables for a request in an e-mail to the service desk account? I have a user defined field as well as the technician field and due date that I would like to have set by the end-user (requester) in an e-mail. The mail subject becomes the title and the body becomes the request - but can individual fields be set as well? Thanks, Bill

Notify technicians when unassigned request has reply
As above, is it possible to have SD notify the technicians who are members of a group that a request belongs to (but not assigned to a specific tech) and the requester replies to emails on that request. I am finding that I am replying to a requester to get more info for the call, but not picking up the call as another tech may end up working on it. It would be nice if there was an option to notify to technicians who are members of the group the call is in when a reply is sent to it. Thanks.
Threading has stopped working..
Ankit: We are using Version : 5.0.0, Build Number : 5000 for some time now. Until now threading worked very well (when ##ticket## was in the subject). Since a week or so, threading works intermittently. Inspite of including the ticket number in the subject line, a new ticket is created. Any ideas what could be happening? Also, if you let me know what does SD+ look for in the subject line or e-mail headers etc in the e-mail when it does a POP3 retrieval i get some basic debugging done. The only event

ServiceDesk Server won't start after install
Hi, I've just installed the 30 day trial on our server. However, the ServiceDesk Server will not start. It gets half way through the 'starting server' applet, then it just disappears and the systray icon disappears. The error in event log is 'There may be a configuration problem - please check the logs'. We do have a MySQL server installed already on this server, although I have stopped it to see if that was the problem. SD+ still doesn't start. I've uploaded the logs to www.south-craven.n-yorks.sch.uk/logs/boot.log

Inventory Assets on import default to 'Is Leased' NO
1. Inventory All my assets in the system at the moment are leased. When I view from the Inventory tab, the default for 'Is Leased' is NO, and the 'lease expiry date' not populated. Is it possible that when assets are allocated to contracts under the contracts area, that it should populate this view in the inventory -- since the contracts area is really where the leasing / date information is stored.
Viewing Contracts - not in alphabetical order
Contracts. When viewing contracts, I would expect that the order would be in ascending by Contract name. My contracts are called Lease 77, Lease 78, Lease 80, Lease 82, Lease 79 but they are not all sorted in Alphabetical order (as from the example above).

Has anyone else experienced these problems with a scan? thanks Sean
