Assigning assets to a site
Hi guys, We're tidying up and cleaning out our asset list and are trying to assign assets to particular geographical locations. We're pulling up all machines within a certain IP range (each site has a seperate IP range) and then in the asset search selecting all and clicking "Assign to site"However, while the system reports "Resources Assigned to Site Successfully" the site field on the asset view has not changed, nor do the machines show up on a report run to show all machines in that site.

Terminal Services CAL's - 7.6
We utilize Terminal Services in a Windows 2008 Environment. For this one environment, we need to track the CAL's for Terminal Services, and the CAL's for Windows Server. In addition we need to track the Server License for the actual server. How are we to track the Terminal Services and the Server CAL's separately. The Server cals can be applied to the Software, but terminal services is a service and not associated with a software. We can apply the Terminal Services CAL's to the server OS, but

Newly added Asset state cannot allocate to a person or department
We have just upgraded to 7600 and noticed that the Asset state we have created cannot allocate to a person or department. The old-built 7509 allowed us to do so. The new asset state allows to track the notebooks that been allocated for home use and now it will only display home use only.

7.6 Upgrade...Extra Whitespace on Email Replies
This seemed to have just surfaced after our upgrade, but email responses created from within Service Desk seems to be adding about 5 extra lines before the begining of the typed email response. Is this something that is configurable? John
Connecting AD after using a csv for userimport
I am wondering if it is possible to connect AD for authentication when initially a .csv import (AD was the source) has been used for the user accounts in SDP. I am now in the situation that new users are created in our AD which were not imported initially, so I have to manually create them, which is a no option for me. I want to activate the active directory authentication but keep de request made by previously imported users linked to those users. I allready installed a new server to: Import a
Asset Software Management
I'm trying to sort out our software licensing in service desk but its proving rather frustrating. For starters, to associate minor versions, the software has to be managed, but for example adobe reader, is freeware so i want to put it under the freeware category and associate all the minor versions but i cant. We have several licences of adobe creative suite but i can't associate all the different software which comes as the package with the one license (dreamweaver, photoshop, fireworks etc) I

Assets: Bulk Change to Server(s) fails
Hello, On 7.5.0 Build 7507 - I've scanned 80+ servers which now appear in Assets under Workstation. When I select all and chose Actions>Change as Server(s), I get a Modify Device Type Dialog with only one choice "Unknown Server". I select this and hit Save. The screen blanks and returns to Workstation with no devices having been moved. Several Questions: Is this a know error corrected by an existing hotfix? Can I tell the Asset scan to make these Servers during the initial Scan process? Where do

Massive decrease in performance
For about a week after installing 7.5.0 Build 7514 we had no issues, but we have noticed increasingly slow performance. Screens will take sometimes up to five minutes to load, even with a system reboot, and daily reboots are required just to get something resembling a workable solution. The mail fetcher also intermittently malfunctions, again requiring a reboot Is there a resolution for these issues? Frankly, we're more than a bit disappointed that a "hotfix" could do this much damage.
SD reusing ticket numbers?
When we send an email to Service Desk it assigns a ticket number and replys back via email. However it is assigning old ticket numbers. When I go to the ticket number it has nothing to do with the original email. We are on SD 7.6 Any help would be great! Thanks Marty

SDP 7600 cannot fetch email as previous build
after upgrade to 7600, SDP cannot fetch email as previous build. we do not change any setting. I checked the log file, found it can only receive the first email in mail box. After I enabled the "e-mail command" option, SDP can fetch all email. I want to know it is per design or a issue?

SQL 2008 support?
I'm currently looking at migrating our servicedesk install to a dedicated virtual server(some of the services on it's current shared server are unstable and causing downtime not realated to the servicedesk software). We currently have the data stored on an SQL2005 database server, but our company has since installed a SQL2008 server for the purpose of moving over databases like the servicedesk to. Can I verify that servicedesk will work with SQL2008? and, is there a migration document that might
The issue for editing worklog or timespent ( in 7600)
When I try to edit a worklog (timespent) for other (not me) technician, the "technician" changed into "Me" (login technician) automatically. Is this a bug? or per design? (In previous build, the technician kept old technician, not changed). Please refer to following image: Berfore edit a worklog, its technician is "刘思远“, then I click "Edit" icon, in the popup dialog, the technician changed into myself (logined technician - 李贵全) automatically, not the original technician. Hope SDP can keep the original
Issue with authentication in build 7514
We have come across an issue with authentication since upgrading to 7514. Our domain has both a domain name (companyname.com) and a netbios name (companyname_nt) Previously users could authenticate and it would log them on regardless as it would resolve the user against either name. All of the requesters that are in the system, have the netbios name as their domain name. It appears now that if a user logs on with pass through authentication, it uses the netbios name and everything is fine. However
Sudden and permanent loss of availability to Service Desk webpages
Techs with Windows 7+IE8 all lost connectivity to the Service Desk webpages. Only a blank page is displayed. If IE settings are altered to always prompt for username and password on the intranet zone (where the service is located) they are being presented the normal login dialog but a successful authentication results in a blank page. Windows 7+IE8 still worked ok a few days ago. Same users using Firefox or an Windows XP computer can log on successfully and get the servicedesk pages displaying normally.
Out Of Office
How can I stop ServiceDesk from creating new requests when it receives and Out Of Office reply? Right now if a user creates a ticket and has Out Of Office enabled when I reply through the system it creates a new request ticket when their Out Of Office response is received. Any Ideas?
Update to 7514 - Can't change request status
Hi, I updated ServiceDesk from7503 to 7514 this morning, and now it seems we can't change request status. I tried 3 different ways (clicking on status in the request, clicking on edit in the request, and the resolution tab) but it still doesn't work. Everything else can be change as usual, the only thing we can't update is the status, and it's a bit critical since we can't close them (resolve them in fact, we use a custom Resolved status on most of our tickets) The problem affects new tickets (7514)

Mail Fetch won't start after server outage
Have noticed after a recent outage that servicedesk isn't fetching the mail. All looks ok, but when I stop fetching and 're-type' in the username and password I receive the message - FAILURE :Email Settings saved successfully. But error occured while trying to check connection with mail server - Authentication Failed using the given username and password. The username and pw are correct. I've even reset the pw to make sure. After the above message I can still click on Fetch Mail and all looks fine
Automatic new user creation from the incoming emails
Dear, Could you please give us an instruction how to turn off the automatic user creation based on receiving of email? Ideally SD has to send an automatic response to user that such user email address is not registered in SD and appropriate incident was not created. i.e this message should be configured through template. Best Regards, Vladyslav
Newly emailed requests coming in as "Unassigned"
Just upgraded to the latest version of ServiceDesk plus. For some reason now, all emailed requests come in as unassigned, and aren't put in the General Category. As a result I don't get an email alert, nor are they added to my queue. Where can I change this setting? - Eric
Script errors when entering Worklogs for a Change
For some time now, I've occasionally received script errors in IE 8 when entering Worklogs, or viewing the Implementation tab of a change. It doesn't happen to all Worklog entries but enough to make it significant.

This may have started happening when we
Solutions - Attachments not found
I recently migrated SD+ over to a new server. Ever since I've done that, I am no longer to view attachments within Solutions. When I click on the Solutions, it says "File was not found". I added a screen shot of the error. I am able to go in to the solution and delete the old one and re-add the document but is there any other fixes to point the Solutions to where the files are. I also have no moved any of the files. Ideas?

Edit Software License Asset Cost
Good Evening Everyone, We recently purchased a piece of software, but apparently the PO was entered with the incorrect amount. The PO was closed and the asset was added to the set of licenses that we have in the system. We'd like to be able to change the software license's cost in the license itself (doesn't matter so much for the PO). However, I've been unable to do so. If I click into the software and go to the Edit Software License screen, I'm able to manipulate all of the information boxes.
PO Style
Is it possible to have the look and feel of a printed PO?
