Easier to import ae_scan files...
Some times I go to a job site (these can last for a few months to over a year) and I will run ae_scan on the systems there to have an updated "scan" of that system. Now there can be several of these files, especially if I visit multiple sites. When I get back and want to add them, I have to add them one at a time. Is there an easier method or can an way be programmed to import several at a time.

Please include SITEID as a filter in ALL report types
In the current inclination it is impossible to pull up a report on time spent tickets by site unless you manually create a query which means you lose the grouping and summary options. Please include SITE in ALL reports. Thanks!
Software Assets Issue
Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to get the assets, mainly the software group, up to date? We where doing an audit and noticed a large portion, of the 1550 detected software on the network, did not exist on a machine or on the network anymore. Yet it stil appears under software asset? I can see no button to perform a 'new scan' or 'clean out expired items'. Please let me know if i have to go through these thousands of items and manually delete the ones that arnt actually installed anymore. Im

Has anyone written reports to compare ServiceDesk Plus CMDB info with AD/IIS and other tools?
I am using a number of tools that need to know about assets on the network including but not limited to AD/IIS, SolarWinds NCM & NPM, and IDS/IDP tools. We have most of our assets in SDP (routers, switches, workstations, servers, etc) and I want to follow good ITIL practice and use the SD CMDB as the authoritative source of data for all of the other tools. Doing this initially requires extracting the asset information from the CMDB to compare against the data in AD/IIS and the list of monitored

How are IT Assets calculated?
How are Assets tracked by the asset cap for your SD+ purchases. Currently we are allowed to have 250 assets max. We are receiving errors saying we can't add any more assets because we are at our limit, however, under assets view it says we have a total of 252 assets: IT Assets Workstations 80 Printers 3 Routers 2 Servers 70 Others 97 How then, are the 250 assets calculated? Is it just the first 250 names that are listed under "IT Assets?"

Request Templates: Should have option to have "Add Assets" disabled
If the customer portal is used, within Request Templates, it should be an option to configure SDP to disable "Add Assets" in Requester Details, or even not to display requester details at all. For secuirty reasons, there is a case for portal users NOT being able to All the assets within the enterprise.
Changing the domain
We are planning to change our domain from "xyz.domain.com" to "abc.domain.com". What precautionary measures should i follow so that the domain name change does not affect the way my users login to the self service portal? Aris

Column Width - Solutions Page/Listing
The Solutions Document Listing (SolutionsHome.Do) only displays approximately the first 20 characters of the SUBJECT value. Even after I remove all other columns this column does not expand. Hovering the mouse cursor over the SUBJECT values does not expose any further information. The User is required to actually open the Solution to read the full subject. A nice option for Service Desk is to let us define column widths for all of the "grid-like" display areas or be able to "drag" them wider while

Disallowing, or notifying end users of Remote Control
hello! We are very excited to see the remote capability built into 7.500! Thank you. However, as it stands now it is a security risk to allow all technicians to be able to remotely control all computers. In order to mitigate the risk of unauthorized desktop access via the Remote Control feature of release 7506, we would like to see a option that will require the the end user to consent and allow to desktop sharing. OR, we would like the option to not use the Remote Control feature. Thank you very

Group E-mail ID Problem
I wanted to set the Group E-mail ID for one of my groups, but it refuses to save with a particular e-mail address. Here are fake/equivilant details to help explain... The e-mail address that I want to put in there is itsupp@lists.place.com When I try this one, I get the error message, " Group updation failed". When I try it with any other e-mail address in that field, it works just fine and gets saved. For example, I can use these and it works just fine... itsupp@place.com AnyOther@lists.place.com
Update Workstation name if it changes, remove old assets when they dont connect after x ammount of days
How does It keep track of machines when it scans the network. can it ask to update the workstation if the name changes, also update the users if they change.

Also can it have a way to remove assets that no longer connect to the server in an x amount of says. optional to do it.
Multiple Groups in Free Mode?
Hi. SDP will not let me create a second group. When I click the 'Save' button, it keeps telling me "Group name already exists". 1. Is there a limit to the number of groups that can be created with SDP in free mode? 2. Is there some kind of limit that won't let a technician be in more than one group? Any ideas? Thanks.
Attach Files to Assets
Hi, does anybody have an idea how to attach a PDF to an asset. I want to keep track of my printers. Whenever one is maintenanced by an external partner, I receive a piece of paper about which things have been repair, who has done it and when it was done. This paper is signed by the technician. I want to scan this paper and attach it to my printer asset. This way all my staff can have a look, when a technician comes again nd repairs the printer again.

Contracts list: Add new or edit predefined filters
In contracts list, we want to add and edit new contracts filters and change the predefined ones. This is needed to manage a large list of contracts efficiently.
Customizable column width in Contracts module
This is a general problem of ServiceDesk Plus and a real mess. In Contracts module, the "Subject" text is always abbreviated with "..." after 20 characters, even if there is much more free space in the column because most other columns have been disabled.
PO# Start From to Include Text
Can we please have this changed to allow TEXT, so it can increment the Purchase Orders following our PO Book. eg All our PO's for our department Start with ITM-(Purchase Order #) SDP will not allow it to auto increment with having ITM- in the admin field (We can add it manually to the PO) but who wants to do that, and on top of that we have to check what PO we were up to.
Emails that generate tickets, is it possible to auto complete some field types?
Hi If an email comes into the Service Desk from a specific address (i.e mailserver has blocked an attachment) is it posssible to set criteria so that some of the fields in the ticket are auto completed? (.eg call type, priority, etc) Or is this not possible and the only solution is for the technician to manualy configure the ticket. I would like to be able to do this for specific types of emails that are generated on a regular basis from a specific address regards
Can "Warranty Expiry Date" and "Acquisition Date" be displayed in the workstation list view?
Before the "Warranty Expiry Date" field was added in the "Resource Info" section of Workstation Configuration, I'd created my own "Warranty Expiration field" under "Additional Info". Well, I'd like to get rid of that now however I've been keeping it because I can't seem to display the "Warranty Expiry Date" or "Acquisition Date" in the view that shows all of the workstations. If this is by design, why? I like to have an at a glance view of all of the sites, warranty expiration dates, etc that I

Problems/Changes (associations)
Typically, a problem results in the creation of a change request. Currently, a change request has the ability to associate problems and incidents to it, but that is as far as the product goes. Unfortunately, when a change is completed, all problems and incidents remain open, which requires the technician to go into each, and replicate much of the same data that is already in the change request (E.g., tasks, work log, etc.). In order to improve the product as an ITIL solution, I recommend the following
