Business Rules Don't Work
We are running 7504. We had business rules setup in 70 and 7500 that did: 1) Set priority to medium if mode was email 2) Assigned to Tech 1 if sender contained "data1" or "data2" 3) Assigned to Tech 2 if sender contained "data3" or "date4" The rules worked fine in 700 and I believe to 7501. We orginally had (3) sites defined and manually created the rules for each site. We then deleted the sites and have no site defined with the rules. However, none of the rules ever execute still. I saw others complaining

Unable to import requesters from AD after upgrade to 7500
Hi All, I'm having difficulty importing requesters from AD after upgrading to SD 7.5 build 7500. The 'Enumerating Organizational Units in Domain' screen sits there for hours without pulling down the directory listing. Were using simply hostname conventions rather than IP addresses etc. I've confirmed my login credentials are also correct. It seem fine until patching to 7500 I'm using both IE6 and Firefox 3.0.7 Any ideas chaps ?

Work Log formatting...
Is there a way that I can have my worklogs have the same formatting as the Discussion Notes have? It makes the logs difficult to read sometimes when there is alot of information (which we ask our techs to enter as much info as possible to describe what they have done). Thanks.

Active Directory Import Slow
Hi, I'm having a really big problem with active directory import for ServiceDesk. It's just prohibitively slow at this point up to nonexistent. It can take a whole night for the enumerationof org. units only to go through, not to mention the import itself. And it consumes resources at an alarming rate. Whenever it's started it loads the server and java memory consumption accelerates to create very noticeable lags for all users. And this is on the 4Gb server where SD is configured for the whole ram.

Changes to Solutions/Knowledgebase
Can anyone, anyone at all, please tell me why the format of the Solutions/KnowledgeBase has changed? This changes is counterproductive and practically unusable at all. The previous setup or look and feel was very straight forward, very usable and lent itself to being a tool that my users used on a regular basis to fix basic and reoccurring problems. Now, however, my users are so confused and lost they refuse to use the solutions/knowledgebase and my tickets/calls per day have increased by over 300%.

reminders
Hi. re: Servicedesk Could someone advise if it is possible to setup a reminder that will auto create a ticket once the date of the reminder arrives. Or is there another feature which can do this? Basicly, I want to create a ticket in 11 months time, but don't want a ticket open for that long, so instead setup a reminder for the date in 11 months. This reminder will then auto create a ticket. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks Sam
More than one tech to a change or even a group?
When we push an application to production on a Monday, I typically create the change records in Service Desk on the Friday before. I usually assign myself as the technician, but then the other members of the web team aren�t aware of the change request unless I tell them. Is it possible to have more than one technician on a change so that multiple persons are included in the workflow of the change? Or could a technician be a group of people?
Mail fetching to specific group or technician
Hi, I was wondering whether or not it is possible to have tasks fetched by e-mail, automatically assigned to a group or a technician, so that the e-mails aren't just created as a request with no responsible tech or group. Thanks in advance, Rasmus
Report help needed
Hi, I don't know that much about SQL so I'm looking for someone who can help with creating a report which holds the following info : Workstation name - User - Software - Software type I need to get a full overview in excel which shows all installed software by type, by user. I need this list in excel, without the usual format the SDP reports are in. I'll do the rest of the filtering in Excel so I only just need an export. Is there anyway I can do this, or can someone help me with the query? Thx,
How Large is Your Environment
I am curious how many users people are supporting with servicedesk, average tickets per day, number of technicians accessing through the day, amount of workstations/servers being managed in the asset management portion, etc. And how it is standing up in your company/organization.

Import Issues
Good Afternoon, I've setup a CSV file containing new information which should be updated for particular workstations. i.e. Barcode, cost, expiry dates. This all works fine when importing information such as Aqusistion Date, Expiry Date - However, we are having problems with the cost field. It either doesn't add the cost or it randomly gives it a cost. Are there any known issues with importing costs? SDP Version : 7.5.0 Build 7505 Any help is much appreciated Sharlene

Monitor information in 7.505
We are on ServiceDesk 7.505 with a MSSQL backend. The ability to pull the monitor serial numbers from each workstation is a really nice feature. I am having some difficulty in working with this information and would like to know if it is currently possible to do the following? 1. Whenever I view the monitor information in ServiceDesk, it has appended 2 foreign characters to the end of the serial number. An example is: CNG55503GX췍췍 Is there a way to fix this, and confirm that others see this issue?

Cannot customize requester part of the default request templ
Hi, I want to customize the requester part of the Default Request Template - more specifically I want to remove the Priority drop-down box, so that it is only available to technicians. But I am not able to When I go to "Admin -> Request Templates -> Default Request" I get to the Technician tab. Here I can move objects around, remove them, add other etc. But when I click the Requester tab, is says "In this view you can do only re-arrange the fields" - and that is exactly my problem. I can re-arrange

If there is please could you show me and if there isn't might there be a suitable workaround?? Thanks in Advance Regards Neil

Service Desk Request screen slow for some groups
Hi, Since upgrading from 7022 to 7506 my technicians are complaining that response time is a lot slower when opening the request tab. We have several different groups defined for teams using our service desk. The two groups that have the most number of requests (total) are the ones that are very slow even though there are under twenty open requests in each group. The request page displays nothing for 10-20 seconds when you select one of these groups and then loads. Other groups load instantly. I

Alias problem
Hi, I have set up a SD+ server URL alias and created a DNS entry. Everything worked fine for approx. 3 days and then -all by sudden- when I want to acces the server using the "pretty-name alias", I get nothing but a blank screen. Any ideas what to check, please? Thanks.
Status does not change
OK, so what I have here...: - created one custom status, so now I have: unassigned, open, on hold & closed, resolved - unassigned is the best status for me from which ticket should start, so I have set it up as a default status of a new ticket I create (or someone else does) a new ticket, that is not assigned to anyone. As soon as this ticket is picked-up or assigned, my idea is, that the status changes to Open. But it does not. Also when the technician is assigned when the ticket is created, same

Parts Inventory System
Looked around the forums and could not find something similar. Are there any plans to be able to use Service Desk as a tool to manage our parts inventory? It would be nice to have a place where we can show our working inventory of parts. In addition, it would be nice to be able to build rules against the inventory, say when a particular hard drive model gets down to 2 send an email out to reorder parts. If it integrated into the purchase system that would allow us to track repair costs for parts
worklog for requesters
hi all, we keep evaluating SD+ to use on our organization. everything looks really nice instead for another little problem. Is there any way to make possible for requesters to see the worklog of a particular request? I think great to keep track of whats been done on a request when u need to execute more than one task, and it eliminates the need to duplicate information on the solution field.. tx in advance. regards.
knowledgebase layout
Hi, Since we upgraded to 7.5 the layout of the knowledgebase has changed. Probably because it was meant to but I really dislike the layout of the new version. Is it possible to restore (revert) back to the older layout of the knowledgebase?

SD+ Access to Outside World
I already have SD+ setup and working for my IT group and it is great, so great in fact that my company wants to use it for a different group. We create software and we get support calls and emails etc but they are not tracked or managed. I think that SD+ can help them. My questions are, can SD+ be opened to the outside world (ie not on our LAN), and if it can we will need the techs to be pulled from AD but the clients outside the LAN will be logging requests and will obviously not be in AD. Is this
