Migration to MS SQL failed. Unable to backup MYSQL database
Following the instruction to migrate from mysql to mssql using changedb.bat, restarting SDP service twice and restoring the backup was unsuccessful.

After placing SDP back into service I found the mssql tables were empty and I was indeed still using the myssql database. I tried to backup the database again to retry the migration process but I was unable to backup the database. I do not want to perform

DuebyDate in Notifications
I think I've found a small bug in SDP 8, no clue if it was in the brevious releases too. I've defined a SLA of 4 hours. So the DuebyDate is set on any Request. But when a Request is created and the notification is sent to the technican by a businessrule, the $DuebyDate variable isn't filled. in the Notification you just see $DuebyDate. but when you then change anything on the Request and another notification is sent, then you get the correct datas. Perhaps the businessrules are checked first and

Mail notifications [Resolved]
Hi, I'm actually in SDP 8008. Since SDP 8007 our requesters have no mails when creating a request. They don't have a mail when their requests are closed. Only the mail for the requests queues for technicians are available. Moreover, when replying to requesters, all fields are blank, and the object doesn't refer to the RequestId (it's written : Re: [Request :##$RequestId##] : $Title Thx & regards.
Windows 2008 Server SP2
Noticed that there is a Service Desk Plus active icon in task bar on Windows 2003 server.

Any thoughts?

Site based Service Catalog
Is there any plans to have the Service Catalog be site aware? Currently if we have 30 sites, each with their own IT teams and we want to have an item in the service catalog we would have to create one for each site to be able to assign them correctly to the technician groups at each site. Is there any chance that we can have site based work flow or site based Service Catalog business rules. Right now with the removal of business rules from Service Requests, the Service Catalog is only useful for

ldap field relationship
Hello community. I'm still not sure how to fillup the ldap fields in a way that also SDP works automatical with the right information. We're a small company with only one central and one branch office both located within the same city. Within these locations we're having some offices (rooms). Overall we have just 5 departments. So I thought it would be a hierarchy like that: SDP Regions == have only one. The City. (What, if we expand and have branch offices in other citys / countrys?) SDP

Couple Questions - Assigning Tickets to Assets / Respond By Date
I have a couple of questions that I have searched for but cannot find the answers. I apologize if these are already posted somewhere but didn't see them. 1. How do I create a ticket for an asset rather than a requester. Some departments have department workstations that no specific employee uses. When that workstation has an issue, I want to create a ticket just for that asset and not tie in a requester who simply reported it. Is there a way to do that? 2. There is the "Responded Date" entry

Removing Scheduled Report
We have a scheduled report that generates an email. Unfortunately, the person that set this up marked it at private and is no longer with the company. The report is a simple time report of what they had worked on, but I can not find it in any list of reports. The report is generated, sent to her old email and the undeliverable notice is returned to our helpdesk email that creates a new ticket everyday. The Report's name is Altaf's status report but the bad email is Sadat's (sshaik).
Ordinary user cannot submit incident reports
Hello I am currently implementing SDP V8 on our network. I have a small team working on it and a group of independent testers. The testers have been submitting incident reports for some time without any issue. However, as soon as I created Service Catalog items for them, their ability to submit Incident reports ceased. Ordinary users can submit Service Catalog requests but cannot submit Incident reports. Attempting to submit an Incident Report does not throw any exceptions. All appears to go

Technician / Group Association
Hi, When assigning a ticket via the Requests tab in SDpro, I can assign a request to a specific Technician, but not to a group. Is this by design? I would like to be able to assign only to groups and not technicians, but would settle on being able to do both. Is this possible? Please see the image below for clarification on where I would like to assign to a group instead of technician. Aaron

Domain Scanning Problem
Our domain AD structure has changed since the last time we imported from it, and now the software will not let us fetch the updated OU list. Whenever we click on Fetch OU's from Active Directory Again, I get an error that says Exception Occurred while enumerating Organizational Units. We have tried multiple user accounts that would normally have access to the AD list, and have tried using both the server name and the IP address, but have gotten the same result.

New request only from domain users
We are currently evaluating ServiceDesk Plus. We have it configured and it appears to be working great thus far. We have run into a minor inconvenience thought. We are using our helpdesk@domain email as the email in ServiceDesk to create new requests. However this email address is also on many subscription lists, so every time a vendor emails us, it creates a new ticket. Is there a way to restrict the ticket creation to only those emails coming to the helpdesk@domain email from domain emails? TIA
