Poor site performance in SD+ 8008 with IE7

Importing data into "Changes" from another system
Hi, We currently have a custom made system to handle internal "Change Requests". We are looking at your solution, ServiceDesk Plus, to enhance our Change Requests, and also use it for other means (incidents, assets, etc.). Is there a way to import data into the ServiceDesk Plus, but also keep the essential information from our old system such as, creation date, implementation date, requester, approver, servers affected, etc.? I don't seem to be able to retrieve such functionality from your system.

Asset Explorer Agent Service stopping
He are deploying the ServiceDesk (8.005) Asset Explorer Agent to our Windows XP workstations. While most agents are ok, we have some that are giving a 'Failed to communicate with agent" error in the scan windows. We are also unable to remote to certain workstations. When we look at the workstation, both the Asset Explorer and Remote Desktop Agent services are stopped. I try to start the Asset Explorer service, but it tells me that there is nothing to do so it is stopped? Is this normal behavior?

Technician Group access rights per site
Hello, I'm currently having issues assigning permissions to a particular group of Technicians on a particular site. SDP was installed over 2 years ago when there were fewer options for Technicians/Site Association, and Technician Groups. At the time, separate Technician Groups were created per site. We have 6 sites. Since then, 'Copy Default Settings' and 'Refer to Default Settings' have been introduced for Sites, and as our rules don't differ across our sites it made sense to simplify things and

The technician costs keep resetting to 0.0 It's really rather annoying. Is there a fix in the pipeline?

Administrators log in with normal user access, domain appearance changed in login window
Hey, None of my named technicians and administrators can log in correctly to MESDP today. The server rebooted overnight due to a power issue. This morning, when people go to log in, the short name of the domain in the "Log on to" dropdown was replaced with the FQDN of the domain. (To be a little more clear, let's say my domain is called DOMAIN.COM. The short name of this domain is DOM. In the log on to dropdown, the value DOM was replaced with the value DOMAIN.COM.) When any of us log in,
Notification - Acknowledge requester by e-mail when the request is updated - what does update mean?
Our users interact with SDP mostly via email. I have had users complain that they do not want to see email notifications when they reply to request notifications. So I turned off that feature and turned on the feature "Acknowledge requester by e-mail when the request is updated". My question is - what triggers this? What is the definition of "updated"? I made myself an owner of a request, and set someone else as technician. I then had another technician reply to a notification and I did not get

8006 - Email Replies not appended to request
We recently upgraded from 7611 to 8006 and have noticed that email appends do not seem to function properly anymore. Something as simple as the requester replying to the automated receipt notification is causing SDP to generate a new work order. I just ran another test to give you an example... I sent this email in to our SD instance and it generated WO # 48577: I then received the email notification that my requesthad been received and given ticket number 48577 and I replied to this message,

Upgrading from 7.0 to 8.0
I checked the "About" page and clicked on the "details" link and found that it recommends using the migration sequence if you're below build number 7500. What it not clear is if this applies to 7.0 or 8.0? In other words, I want to make sure I follow the right path for upgrading and I'm currently at 7.0 Build 7018, so do I need to follow the migration sequence process or is that only for 8.0 Build 7500 and above?
Service Catalogue
Hi, We are deploying Service Desk Plus (SDP) and before we have created our Service Catalogue. With Service Catalogue we want to list to all our services, including incidents verification. The problem is, with Service Catalogue when cannot create an “incident form”, he always create the form/request like a service request. So we cannot evolve from an incident to a problem with the Service Catalogue forms. Thanks in advanced, Best Regards, Henrique Alves.

I am giving this program a trial run with the free version. I configured AD pass through authentication but I dont use the administrator account to login.

Update to 8007 broke admin login

Incorrect Request URL when integrating ServiceDesk Plus with IBM WebSeal
My team is going to integrate our team portal, which deployed to IBM WebSphere, with ServiceDesk Plus. The integration is implemented by using IBM WebSeal ID to pass the required login information to ServiceDesk Plus so that ServiceDesk Plus appeared as a module (http://<DOMAIN>/servicedesk/) of our team portal in the URL.
