7.6 Mac Issue with '&' in the requester name
Hi, I believe we have found a Mac only issue with 7.6. If a requester name has an '&' in it on a Windows machine it shows as '&' but on the Mac it shows as '&'. The issue is that the system doesn't recognize '&' as being '&' and asks if you want to add a new requester on saving the request. Steps we took: new request press find requester button select requester save ticket prompted with messageOn a Windows machine the display is correct and it does not appear to be an issue.

New users, Automatic import from AD
Hi, Is it possible to set up an automatic import from AD for all new users? Thanks Martin
Why isn't mode set to "Self Service" when a user submits his own request?
When users login and submit their own request, the mode does not automatically set to "Self Service". However, emailed requests created by the system automatically set the mode to "Email". Is this a bug, an oversight or by design? I haven't upgraded to 7.6 yet (still running 7514), so perhaps this has changed...?

Update success?
I am currently running two ManageEngine products - ServiceDesk+ and FacilitesDesk. In the past year, I have NEVER had a successful upgrade for either product. I have had to contact MangeEngine every time I updated either product and in some cases had to send them my databases and wait for them to upgrade them so they could be installed with the latest version. I was wondering if this is a normal experience for other ManageEngine software users? Thanks!

Workstation scan schedule to twice a day
We are finding that the "once a day" workstation scan schedule is not sufficient for our organization. It would be great if we could schedule two scans in a day; once in the morning and once in the evening. However, the ability to to do 2 scans at anytime in the day would be very beneficial. Can this be added?
Email User Creation
Our organization has an Active Directory that we are part of, and we mainly support the users within one OU. Due to that reason we only import our users from that OU into service desk. We do support a few other users in different locations in the directory, and they usually email their request in. When the user emails their request into SDP the software creates a “local” account for the user if they do not have one. My question is can we have SDP search through AD before it creates the “local”

Disable Auto Append
The normal behaviour for SDP is to merge e-mail replies with the existing request if the appropriate information is in the subjuect line of the e-mail reply. We have two separate SDP setups, one for Helpdesk and one for Guest Relations. When Guest Relations forwards a request from their SDP to the Helpdesk SDP, the Helpdesk system appends the new request to an existing ticket (that has already been closed) instead of making a new request. I want to be able to disable this functionality. It would
Re-branding lost after upgrade
Last night, I upgraded our production server from 7514 to 7602. In doing so, it appears we've lost our re-branding. Please let me know what file(s) I need to modify in order for the Browser Task Bar ID to be changed from "ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus" to "My Company Name". I have already edited the settings for the login page (changed login.jsp to index.htm), and the login page is back to our design... I just need to get the re-branding portion fixed. Thanks!

Escalation based on technician
We are moving to ServiceDesk Plus from TrackIt and so far are very happy, but we have one issue. We heavily used TrackIt's escalation based on technician and I can not find how to accomplish this with ServiceDesk Plus. I need to setup a rule so that if a tech does not finish a work order by it's due date their supervisor get a notification, then after 24 hours if its not resolved their supervisors director gets notified. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andy

technician admin rights
It's great that you refined technician rights. However, I would like to give a technician rights to edit requesters but cannot see contracts. Besides SDSiteAdmin (SDAdmin is out of the question) I don't find any possibility to access the "Admin" tab. i.e.: I would like that some technicians have the rights to access the "Admin" tab, but not to access "Contract" tab, for example. Thanks!

Site Assignment Issues
HI everyone, We just upgraded service desk to 7.5, so far so good! The remote control feature is working great as well! However, I have run into one small snag. When a PC is assigned to say, a department, you can't make the Site assignment "stick." For example, we have servers we've allocated to the "IT Department". Then we change the workstation's site field to our Corporate office, and save, but it doesn't remember it. Next time you look at the workstation, the field is blank. However, if you change
