Tickets closed by another tech

Merge Requesters
Hi, In our organization we have requesters who log on with AD authentication. In AD we set also their mail address and department. But many requesters have multiple email adresses which results in duplicated requesters. So when we have to assign a asset we see multiple requester names of the same user. Is there a way to merge these requesters? Kind Regards, Jordi van Oosterbosch

Time spent for requesters
Dear Sirs, I've checked in the forum and find similar requests from some users (many years ago) but no solutions. The needed feature is to inform my requesters on the time spent (namely the sum of time spent WorkLogs for the same request) to give the solution and close his request.

Upgrade without the need for a backup
I am attempting to upgrade Service Desk Plus from version 9049 to version 9100 without being forced to carry out a backup. Due to availability of a VMware snapshot and a backup of the SQL database, I feel there is no requirement for the automated backup to be carried out during the application update. This adds many hours to the process. I have already altered the 'UpdateManager.bat' file with the addition of '-DSDBackup=false', following advice from previous posts. As a result, I was presented
Updating AD user list
I know this is a silly question to ask, but I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger. I'm about to update our AD login credentials, and it warns that "On importing, existing data will be overwritten and new data will be added." I'm assuming that means current configurations remain the same though right? If someone is logging in with their AD creds as a technician, his current roles + support groups won't get overwritten and need to be setup again?

Several issues with the "Select Approvers" Field

Requesters - Import from AD Not importing Employee ID
When we import users from AD, the Employee ID field does not get populated. I would think that for most companies the Employee ID is a very important part of any user profile. What field in AD does this value get pulled from? We have populated the following fields in AD but this value still does not appear in Service Desk. In AD we have populated: employeeID employeeNumber Does service desk actually import the employee ID?

Disable automatically hidden or locked conversations for all requesters to view by default?
I can't seem to find a place to turn off the automatically hidden conversations in a request. At our site we do not require the conversations in any request to be hidden from the requesters and it is an annoying chore for the technicians to have to unlock each conversation entry so the requesters can view them. Can we turn the hidden conversations off by default so that they are all unlocked?
