Can´t make backup but can upgrade succesfully...
Hello, sorry to bother, but I´ve downloaded ServiceDesk Plus Trial and we are trying to make scheduled backups once per day, backupData.bat fails every time, but If we upgrade to 8027 the backup that is taken just before the upgrade works flawless, I assume that there are some null table entries (after removing the ECHO OFF line in backupDATA.bat) but I can´t use the MySQL Workbench to connect and fix this issues... So, if you have a tutorial on how to fix backup scheduling, or any ideas as to why
Agent Port Information
I am going to roll the SDP agent out to a "severely segmented network" with a "severely segmented IT Department". I was asked to provide all of the ports that will be needed to allow the Remote Control feature as well as the scanning to work. I will be rolling the agent out through group policy to all of the computer that touch our wire and authenticate to the domain.

SDP 8.1 Reply/Resolution Template Issues
Hello, We upgraded to SDP 8.1 today and then applied the latest patch 8101. Everything seems to be working fine (cookies/cache cleared) with the exception of Reply/Resolution templates for general administrators. Previously on 8.0 8027 everything worked as expected. After the upgrade any non-admin technician cannot use the templates. They can select it, acknowledge the popup but it never adds the text of the template into the reply/resolution box. If I switch them to admin permissions (SDAdmin),
How to update agent when upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1?
We are in the process of preparing to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1. How do we update the agents on all of our machines? Do we need to uninstall the old agent and deploy the new one? Or will the new agent update all the old agents? Is this an automatic process or do we need to manually update the agents? Thanks!

New Incident Form Clears Group
Hi, I just updated to SDP 8.1 Build 8101, but I would like to point out that I had this issue with version 8.0 build 8026 as well. When I create a New Incident, or edit an existing Incident, after clicking out of the Requester Details "Name" field, the "Group" field gets reset to "--Select Group--". The same thing happens if I tab out the field. At this point I've just gotten used to having to select my Group twice, or selecting it as the last item before adding or saving a request, but it does
Technician access to archived requests?
I setup my SDP 8 installation to auto-archive closed requests after 1 year. Should my technicians be able to access these requests once they are archived? I can see them fine as an administrator, but the standard Technician role doesn't seem to be able to access these items according to the rights assigned to them. The "user does not have sufficient privilege" screen is displayed unless they try to view a request that was 1) created by them, or 2) assigned to them. Example: Technicians are assigned

SDP via Windows Phone 7.5
Hi All, I just made our SDP site externally accessible, and it works fine from both a PC and one of my tech's Android phone on Verizon. I have a Samsung Focus running Windows Phone 7.5 on AT&T, and cannot get the full SDP site to load. The mobile client does load but is too limited to be all that useful.

Update Issues to SDP 8027 from 8022
Downloaded the 8027 update, ran update.bat file and selected it and get an error on install. Click the error log and it's blank... The last line in the command console that runs is this: at java.lang.thread.run(unknown source) I made sure java was updated.. The update manager error dialog is completely blank, just a white box that comes up. Haven't had any issues with the software itself, just trying to get upgraded to 8027 so we can install the new 8.1...
Reply email not appending to request
When a user replies to a request from an email client (webmail/outlook), it does not append the conversation to the ticket. If they reply from helpdesk interface, then it appends to the ticket. RE: [Request ID :##74##] : monitor has streaks <-- is the subject line in the reply. from my understanding, this should work?
ServiceDesk Plus fails to send any e-mails
We have a fresh copy of ServiceDesk Plus installed on a server here and for whatever reason this install will not send out any e-mail notifications. We've done all the tests to ensure that the server can create a connection to our exchange server via SMTP, but nothing is going out. Checking the Logs on the SMTP server there is no connection even being attempted. Wireshark was installed to the system to try to see if the connection was being attempted but just failed to write to the logs; nothing

Personalize Time Zone
Hello. I am running SD+ 7.6.0 Build 7605. I have support technicians in more than one time zone. When they log into the system and go to 'Personalize' menu they are given the option to configure a Time Zone. After doing so and saving the settings, the time shown in the SD+ interface does not update. 1. Why does this not change? 2. Does that time shown integrate with SLAs and Operational Hours?

Today I had installed fresh updates for Windows Server 2003R2 x64 and TZ-fix for JRE. And later, when I had tried to import requestors from AD I had found that list of OU's is empty. It contains only "Users" OU. Yesterday I had no problems with AD import process. SD 8.0.0 build 8022. I pressed to "import OU structure again" Here is the log of today's OU scan: [15:45:08:059]|[03-16-2012]|[com.adventnet.sqlone.search.dbcrawler.ejb.internal.DatabaseCrawler]|[INFO]|[24]|: Connection obtained for crawling
Issues with Service Desk plus technicians
Hi Today we experienced an issue where independently, 2 technicians logged into SD+ and were not recognised. They were able to login, but their names were not shown and they could see no requests and were told they didn't have access to the tabs (Admin, Change etc). When they changed their AD passwords, all worked fine. However, their passwords were not due to be changed. Any ideas?

Assets no longer in domain remain in store after domain scan.
Apologies in advance if this is a simple fix, I'm still very new to ManageEngine Service Desk administration. After going through the admin guide I am unclear on how to exclude some OU from domain scan. Our environment is set up to discover assets and scan changes using domain scan. This works well for the majority of our assets. However, after some time and changes to the domain a number of workstations are no longer in the domain. The assets remain in the store list after a new scan of the domain
2 computers in our network are being overwritten while adding assets
I got a strange problem. 3 computers in our network, while trying to add in assets in SDP 8.0, are being overwritten with each other. Common thing I noticed with these compuers is that all of them have vmware server or workstations installed in them.

How do I use the filter?
I am new to trying to figure this whole thing out, but I am trying to inventory our School District's computers into the Manage Engine software. I want to try and do them one school at a time to get the hang of it, but when I go to the Assets > Workstations page, and click filter, I type in (like) VP* hoping to get results that only display computer names that start with "VP". When I hit enter, it just takes me back to the default workstations page. Is this correct? Or am I approaching this completely
