Inventory scans tied to ip address
I have a question on how to handle inventory scans. We scanned our domain which import our pc's which get ip via DHCP. If I run ipconfig /renew and it gets a new ip will this cause an issue for a scan. If I go and press Scan Now will it still update the correct pc. Another example is we have remote computers around the US. With this software we can connect them to the vpn, add new scan, and they show up in inventory. However our vpn server uses the same group of ip's so it I try to scan again the

Please advise. Jeff
Possible to pull incoming via SMTP
Hi All, I was wondering, is there a way around, or possible in a future ServicePack update to enable pulling of emails incoming via SMTP. The reason I ask, is that our Exch2003 server doesnt have these running, only SMTP. We have errors when we try to set it up, and when we tried to re-run the POP service on the Exch2003 server, it didnt work for some reason it wouldnt allow us. The person who setup our Exch is not with us at the mo, so we dont know how he has config'd it.... and dont want to turn

Removing dead assets from inventory and reports
I have a few assets that have recently given up the ghost, as the replacement items will have fresh asset numbers I'd like to mark the old assets as DEAD so that they don't appear in reports and we then know they're out of service or disposed of. I've been filling in the EXPIRY DATE field but when I report on our assets it still includes the items with an expiry date. If they have an expiry date I don't want them to appear in out list of all assets as the chances are they've gone in the bin. I know

WOW! This seems like the missing link
Hi, From the infamous topic "Where has support gone" I picked a quote from Uma that really got me eroused! (...)

Anyway we will have our roadmap published soon. (...) regards, Uma.. ServiceDesk Plus support. Could you please give me an ETA on the projecte realese date for Problem and Change as
Cost of increasing number of technician licenses
Not sure if this is covered somewhere, but if we initial purchase a 2 user license, but then a month or so later this needs increasing to 5. Would we have to pay for another full 5 user license giving us a total of 7 or can we pay the difference between the cost of a 2 and 5 user license to have a total of 5 users? If it is the later, what date would this new license end? Regards

Linking groups with category's
Is it possible to link category's with certain groups? So when i select the ERP group, the category's not associated with ERP don't show. This is very handy for us, so people that report bugs in the ERP system don't have the category "Request Hardware". This will also save us about 20 category's from the list, making it easier to find the right category.

Categories changed after update
I updated a category of an existing ticket and when I did, ALL the tickets (open and closed) changed to that category. This is the 2ND time this has happened. I thought this issue was fixed according to the support staff, but it happened again. How does this happen? How can I fix it? (Last time I spent hours re-cateogrizing my tickets)! Is there a way to export, fix and re-import my tickets in excel so that I don't have to open each ticket and change them again? Frustrated.
Restore OpManager Database after new installation

Where should I put the database backup file to ensure the restore option can see it? Thank you.
Question about possiblities SDP
Before i post it in the "Request feature" section ill ask here first. Maybe its already possible, but i haven't figured it out yet. - Is it possible to mail a request to someone outside the organization? Currently you can use Reply -> Forward the request. But all it does is forward the link to the request. Is it possible that the request it self gets mailed instead of a simple link? ( Request Subject -> Mail Subject, Request Description -> Mail Content, Request Attachments get added as Mail Attachments.
Closing ticket with resolution leaves ticket marked as "
Often we use the option to close a ticket in the resolution window as a shortcut when we have resolved the ticket; but even though the ticket is closed, and the requester received an email detailing the resolution, the "responded date" is marked as no response; when in fact a response was sent when closing the ticket in the resolution window. We want to be able to close tickets via the resolution window without having to send an additional email via the reply button of the main ticket, which causes
Time Spent does not update
When adding time spent entries at the bottom of the screen the overall time spent entry is not updated, the program tracks only time the ticket was opened, when multiple technicians work the ticket at the same time, and add time spent entries, this is not reflected on the ticket details time spent entry. Part of this issue is that time spent reflected in the Ticket Details panel and Time Spent entries at the bottom of the screen are two different fields. Renaming the Time Spent entry in the Ticket

Task Technicians - possible bug?
I installed ServiceDesk v.6003 using the 30-day trial option and proceeded to set it up for a demo for another department in my company. Since we have an AD infrastructure, I went ahead and imported all users from AD. I then added Jane as a technician. After messing with some settings, I decided that John's account would be a better individual to do the testing with before demoing the product to Jane, so I changed the technician to John. I then created a request in the system and assigned it to the
