Dynamic Active Directory Update
We are testing this to determine if we are going to us it. Question... Let's assume we import users from Active Directory and the import is successful. Tomorrow, I add another user to AD. Does HelpDesk automatically dynamically update the users in the HelpDesk software OR do you have to manually add the user in the HelpDesk software, assuming he/she will some day submit a service request?
Business rule overrides category technician
I have a business rule that assigns a technician based on location; however, I have a technician assigned specifically to a category, which seems to be overridden by the business rule.

report on response time?
Hi All, i'd like to be able to set response targets, i.e. high priority calls should be responded to within 1 hr, medium within 4 hrs etc. Response times are a much better KPI than fix times don't you think? Anyway, is there a way I can first set the targets, and then generate a report to see what % of calls have met their fix time? (by week, month etc) My idea of a response would be either a reply to the requester via the job in SD, or a note being added, (Which i assume would trigger in the history)

Event Log option for All assets in SD+
Dear ServiceDesk-Support team, Is it a possible to activate Event Log option for All assets in SD+? Would be the best to know who from technicians (if they have FULL or EDIT inventory roles) did the changes in the assets fields, what was changed, when and why. For example, if asset is assigned to a new user/department, the information about the previous owner should stored in the BD. Thank you for your help and assistance
AD - Scheduled polling
It would be nice to have SD+ automatically poll AD for user accounts at an interval that can be set by the administrator. Also, it will be important to only update the user in SD+ with new information from AD, and not overwrite SD+ settings for that user.
Gmail email account
anyone, do SD+ works with any gmail account.
Solutions Bug?
"how-to" was entered as a keyword in a solution. When searching for "how-to", it returns no results. However searching on "how" does. Is this a limitation of MySQL interpreting the "-" as a special character? Thanks, Christian

Custom Report Help!
I need to write a custom report that will pull all of my assets with a product type of 'Monitor' and a product of 'Monitor'. Here is the hard part, I have all of my monitors assigned to Workstations not people, I need to pull several fields from the Workstation object, 'Workstation' and a few other custom fields, but I want to sort the whole thing by the monitor bit. I think I can write this on my own but I don't know what the fields will be called, of course if you felt the need to do it for me
Service Requests from exteral systems
Has any thought been put into allowing external systems send service requests to SD+. I run HP OpenView NNM, and currently use the SENDMAIL PERL script to send an email to a person when a trap is received. It would be nice if there were a ServiceDesk PERL script available that allowed me to send the data directly to SD+ instead of via email. Variables that would be of interest to send the SD+ from external systems are: - Priority - Technician - Subject - Description Then, I would like to be able
Will the Request Forms change much in SD+ 6
Hey Guys Just wondering if the requesters will see much change in SD+ 6. I am just doing up some documentation for our requesters in preperation for Jan 31st and wanted to know if I could use 5.5 to work off.
Operations on Equipment.
It would be nice if there was a way for individuals to report any changes, additions, or repairs they made to a server. Especially if this was available to requestors. Right now what we are doing is having everyone open a "request" every time they may a change to a server, etc. Then the techs. close them. These are then associated with the appropriate workstation, giving a work history. But it would be nice if one could just attach notes to a workstation, organized by date, and if this feature was

Workstation Additional Fields
Hi, I'm working at a university currently running SDP+(5507). We want to track s/n assoicated with each PC we have. I created a workstation-additional field which worked great. My question is this: Is there a way to get this additional information to show on the basic workstation inventory screen? Currently the only way we can view what we have put into the additional information field is by going to edit workstation. I'd like it to just show up when you view the inventory of the machine along with
No reports for techs????
Have been on ServiceDesk for about a month now. Considering the low ramp up and deployment curve, I am extremely happy with it. While tightening up SOP's for our techs, we discovered they were not able to run request reports of any kind. This I come to find after riding them for a whole day for usage reports!!! This surely can't be... I did setup scheduled reports, but this is just not going to functionally work... Ideas or suggestions? Anyone out there also have the same frustration?

Can you run two instances of SD+ on the same server?
Can you run two copies of SD+ on the same server? I need to run two completely different SD+ environments that are not related in any way to each other. However, I'd like to consolidate onto one server if possible (and run them each on their own port). I'm not interested in trying to set up more than one environment under the same instance of SD+ and use business rules to differentiate. I need two completely seperate SD+ instances. Is this possible to do on the same server? Thanks....

Request Replies opens new ticket.
Hi there, I have a problem in that if I reply in SD+ to a requestor, when they reply it opens a new ticket. I've read through the previous discussions and no-one seams to have this problem anymore. I'm using Build 5003. Not sure if this is why but I have removed the two # symbols from either side of the request ID. Many thanks Tim
notes or tracking for workstations
with SD+ is there a way to make notes regarding a workstation? What I'm trying to do is keep track of system updates and log file reviews. Let me re-word this... I'm trying to do it without a request since I'm the one updating all the workstations. Thanks, Tom

New user using ADS
So I imported all my users just fine, but was wondering if there is, or is going to be a way in the new version to just import a single or small groups of users from different OU's. We constantly have new users joining and people leaving and was hoping for a "quick" way to import them and not have to reimport all 2200+ users each time someone is hired or leaves. Thanks, Terry

Forums/Site Response Times
Hello - Over the past few weeks I have noticed that these forums are running extremely slow! Pages take 10secs+ to load at times, making browsing for topics painful. Have also tried on another two internet connections, and it is exactly the same, so am sure it is not my connection. Is anyone else having the same issues? Support, could you please look into this. thanks Peter.
