It SAID it was succesfuly changed, but when I try to start ServiceDesk it errors out saying "unable to start MySQL on port 3306.

Asset Workstation Report
How do I write a report or query to pull information from both Workstation data and also Asset data. I need to get a data file that shows Workstation Name, Beds Code (custom field added to Workstation form), Product Type (such as Desktop-PC, Desktop-MAC). The state requires us to pull all Product type related to computers and list quantities based on location (Beds Code field we added). Is there a way to pull data like this and if so how?

Mobile Devices or API for client to interface
1. Is there a plan to test ServiceDesk Plus on mobile devices or to create a separate versions for mobile devices? The mobile devices do not have same capabilities as desktop internet users. 2. Is there an API for ServiceDesk Plus where clients/users can interface with the software and program modules to perform special tasks? If so, which programming language or scripts do we use?
Why can my requesters not see 'Solutions'?
I am using Service Desk Plus Version : 7.0.0 Build Number : 7004. I have created a starter set of solutions which would benefit my users and plan to add to it over time to get maximum coverage of common issues. When I log into SDP as either a technician or Administrator, I can see the solutions, search through them etc. just fine. However, anyone logging in as a 'Requestor' that clicks on the Solutions tabs, there are none there, all of the folders are empty. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Unique ID for Computers
Hello.. I have a problem when scanning blade servers.. I seems they all get the same Identity somehow.. When scanning one server everything looks fine.. When scanning another one the systen tells me that the server has changed its name and sw inventory.. It's not a big issue.. But I am interested in what parameter uniquely identifies a computer.. ? At first I thougt it was the Service Tag or WIN32_BIOS Serialnumber, but that seems to be wrong.. Any ideas?
Giving technician rights to AD users
Is there any way in ServiceDesk to give a user imported from Active Directory technician rights?
Notification: Acknowlege Technician by Email when the task is closed
SDP should send an E-mail notification to assigned technician in respective ticket when another technician closes a task, alerting to assigned ticket technician that a task was closed by another technician.
BUG in notification "quick pick" links
In customizing the notifications, there's a number of little variables seen at the right hand side to pick from. One of them "$RequestLink", when clicked, puts a hyperlink down at the bottom of your notification. It doesn't go anywhere else, but at the bottom. But! If you cut/paste that link to move it to another location, it PRE-pends the default path for your server onto the front of the link, resulting in a double http address. for instance, our server is at http://tasc After copy/pasting the
Delete Technician - side effects?
Hi, I just talked with tech support. Asked if we deleted a technician would we lose the ability to report showing his name on past activities. I was told that it would show up as "Unassigned" . This means once I delete 2 technicians I can no longer see who handled the ticket. I noticed that while in admin I can disable login but keep the technician in the list. Does anybody know if that frees up a license? Thanks J
ticket creation timestamp
We are running version 6.0.0 build 6009 and just recently I noticed the ticket creation date/time stamp as an hour behind but yet the clock running at the top of the window for SC+ is the correct time. I have verified the PC's in our office are set correctly. Where does SC+ pull the date/time stamp from when a ticket is created and how do I correct it?
Who is logged in in SDP?
Hi there, Is it possible to see (as a technician) who is already / still logged in in the ServiceDesk? Thanks, Ferry
Request Type
Hi I have just updated to SD7 v7005. I was very pleased to see the listed feature in the readme that allows the Request Type to be changed, then I discovered that this feature only applies to the ITIL version. Although it would be nice to use in my version (please), at the moment as it is visible in the Helpdesk Customizer it just causes an unnecessary (but much wanted)step in the process. I guess you can remove it in a future upgrade. Regards

It is good, that in 7004 has earned import from AD when in OU name there were not-latin letters. Badly that now instead of a displayName of the user its samAccountName (or some similar) is imported. :(
SDP 6 to 7 upgrade

Regarding Reports
Dear All, I have implemented Service Desk Plus Version : 6.0.0 Build Number : 6009 at one of my clients place.

Close Request Rule
We are using Service Desk Plus v6013 and I have a question concerning the closing of requests. I setup my technician roles so that they can only see a request after I have assigned it a group. Then any tech can grab a request. But when they close a request I have it setup so that the requester will get an email with the resolution. Is there a way to add myself to that list so I can get an email for the closed calls as well? That way I see the calls when they come in and I assign to a group and I
