small new request link
I feel the button/link on the requesters homepage is way to small. there should be something a little easier for the user to use. (and see) we have people not useing the product, because they didn't see the new request link (;-)
IT Consultant - right software?
I am an IT consultant and I have to admit that this software is the closest I've come to finding a suitable solution...without spending thousands! However, is there a way to setup users for different companies that will have separate support contracts? In the user setup, it appears that the software is designed for a singe location. Is there anyone that is using the software somewhat in this capacity? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Grouping the technicians by their superior
I am not sure if this has been questioned before. In my department, I have several groups of technicians and each group has its own Supervisor/Superior. What I need is that respective Supervisor would be able to administer its own group only and shall not be allowed to view other groups requests. Is this in your plan? Thank you

Modify Service Desk for Facilities Operations?
We really like Service Desk plus, so I showed it to our Facilities Operations people, the guys that run the building systems. They are looking at a $20k package that basically does what Service Desk does except for one thing. Service Desk does not manage Preventative Maintenance on Assets. It would be nice, even for IT, if Service Desk had a Preventative Maintenance feature. Say you have an asset, a high end scanner that needs cleaning every 3 months. It would be great if I could create a recurring
Couple of suggestions?
Hi, we have just purchased SDP for our firm and we are very pleased with it. There are a couple of suggestions and questions that I have. Firstly, would it be possible when scanning a Domain or Workstation for it to detect the current logged on user? Most of our Users use the same Workstation everyday so this would make assigning each user to their workstation far easier for me. Also when scanning some of our Workstations fail the scan for some reason. Would this have anything to do with the DCOM
Backups....
Ok, I have just tried using the backup facility within service desk and it has created a file, but its only 281kb. This does not seem right considering the amount of data we have put into service desk. The folder that service desk is contained in is over 300mb! We are looking at adding it to our tape drive backup facilities but understand the server needs to be stopped first. Is it possible to do this with a batch file and a command line switch so that the box that comes up "this will shutdown service
Operating System not included in scanned software
I would like to be able to use the License Tracking feature on Operating Systems, however, the scanned software module doesn't pickup the OS. I could enter the OS type manually as an asset, but then I will loose the License Tracking feature. Does anyone have any resolutions for this problem? Ryan
Startup failed ?
Hi, we've got a problem since a few days with ServiceDesk : service fails after startup (please have a look on wrapper.log in attachment). Any idea ? (servicedesk and opmanager running on the same PC : P4 512 RAM Wy2k EN) Thanks for your answer
Problem with emailing the requester when a request is closed
Our company is evaluating your help desk software and has run into a snag. When a new ticket is opened the requester receives an email; hence the "Acknowledge Requester by email when a request is received" option is marked. However when one our technicians closes the ticket a confirmation email is NOT sent to the requester notifying them the ticket has been resolved and close. We verified our mail server settings are correct and the option to "Email Requester when a request is closed" is marked.

Migrating from Windows 2000 Server to Linux Fedora
I initially started out with ServiceDesk running on a trial version of Win2K3 Server, only intending to check out the features, etc. Before I knew it, I had been logging all kinds of trouble tickets, solutions, etc. and had actually become accustomed to using it on a daily basis. Then the server itself notified me that I had 30 days to buy a full version of 2K3 server before the trial stopped functioning. DOH! I did a successful backup and restore to another Win2K Server and connected to it just
Active Directory Integration
I'm evaluating the product and I really like what I'm seeing so far. Your asset management tools look quite promising, but it feels like your help desk components might be missing things we're really looking for. I'm concerned that it appears that while you can pull user information from Active Directory, that you do not currently have the capability of providing users from AD the ability to log in to ServiceDesk with their AD username and password. This is a must have requirement for our company.

Attachments handling on open request
Hello, I'm testing the Service Desk to see if can suit my needs. We use attachments for complete the description of the request and I got 2 question about that. When you Forward the Request the attachments are not included, there isn't the possibility to include that "field" in the "Email Template". It is not possible to include the attachments present on the request to the notification mail sent to the technician? Second question. If the attachment is edited and saved, I save just a copy of the
localhost:8080 Not open?
Currently having a bash with the linux version of this great little product. I'm currently running Suse 9.3.

HTML Emails
Hi, We currently have an issue where if a user sends an email to the service desk and it is HTML formatted, when it gets picked up by servicedesk, the requests list gets blanked. There becomes only one request listed, which has no subject or text in it within the list. To resolve the problem we have to edit the request and remove all of the HTML, then save it. I would image this is because of something like the </BODY> or similar tags in the email? Not a major problem, but a little painful as we

Webportal for Opmanager and ServiceDesk Plus Info
I have been very impressed with the capabilities and the layout of the web interfaces for both products. We are looking into providing a web portal for our users on information related to our Department. We would like to be able to pull the status of certain servers from Opmanager and display them via a webportal. Also, have that capability with ServiceDesk Plus. By any chance could there be a Webportal for these products in development. If not, is there any way we could have a lending hand on making

Why can a requester see more equipment than assoicated to
Hi Just purchased Servicedesk and its great. I have imported my users from AD and assoicated equipment to their details. However when a user created a new request they can still drill down the rest of the inventory. Ideally i would only want them to see their own equipement or shared equipment such as network printers and photocopiers etc. Is this possible ?? Thanks
