Stuck on build 10014
I use the free version of Manage Engine ServiceDeskPlus and I seem to be stuck on build 10014. After applying any future update the service desk fails to start. I've tried running the run.bat via elevated cmd prompt, which gives me the attached error. If I manually start the ServiceDesk service, it starts for a minute or 2 then stops. I've reverted to the VM Snapshot I took before attempting the update. Any help would be great. TYIA

Auto populate Asset Info
I'm building several templates within ServiceDesk/ServiceCatalog. These will center around our Employee's moving from one physical location to another or to another Department altogether. Is there a Field & Form Rule I can create that will auto-populate the Asset field with the users assets? We will be using the On-Behalf-Of field for these forms since the submitters will almost always be the same group of people. We're on build 10508 and in an MSSQL environment.

Hi there, I'm having trouble setting up templates. I want the requester to see ticket details under the same headings and layout as technicians but not actually set them. Using 'Mode' as an example... but it impacts all default and custom fields. The field is present in the technician and requester template. As soon as I un-tick 'Requester can set' the field removes itself from the requester template. If I set all the fields in the technician template (with this already un-ticked) and click 'Copy

Use Ticket Categories to Trigger Incident Templates
Hi, I would like to suggest either an option within Incident Category creation/edit or within Ticket Template creation/edit to automatically trigger applying a ticket template to a ticket without overwriting non-blank existing fields when the category/subcategory is changed. See below for a hypothetical scenario for how this would be intended for use. If this already exists as a custom trigger, do you have an example script you could point me to I could use to achieve this? Hypothetical Scenario:

Update Request Subject with Custom Trigger
Is it possible to change the Subject of a Request with a Custom Trigger? For example, a user sends an email to the helpdesk with a subject line of Add Printer ABC. A Custom Trigger in ServiceDesk has the Criteria "Subject begins with (Add Printer)", and executes a powershell script to install printer ABC on the user's PC. <- That part works! However, the request that gets created in Service Desk still has the subject Add Printer ABC. I would love it if I could change the subject of that request to

API vs. Manual Action
Is there a way to distinguish which action was done via API versus any action done via UI (manual action)? The reason for this is that I am using my own Technician_Key in all API actions. The problem we have right now is that there is no fine line between a manual action and API-based action. From an audit perspective, all actions are done by me whether it's via API or via a manual action.

iOS app receiving notifications unexpectedly
I'm using the iOS Service Desk Plus app and it works very well. My SDP server is behind a firewall which restricts access to those who are using the company network only; either locally or via VPN.

How's it getting this data? There shouldn't be any connectivity to the SDP server! Many
