Request Closure Rule
Hi there, Is it possible to get a Site option under Closure Rules (specifically Requests), this would help when it comes to reporting time showing Site "unassigned". we tie MESDP into AD but our Office location and Department are always behind when it comes to people changing locations in our organization. Having this option available will help our technicians locate exactly where the requester is from. Regards, Willus

Printer Tracking
Hello, Currently we're tracking our printers by manually adding the information into ServiceDesk. Soon we will be moving our printers over to asset scanning. Before we do I just want to verify the criteria that the asset manager uses to identify printers. Just as workstations are tracked by the registry key based on workstation name, are printers tracked by the name, serial, IP or asset tag? If two printers are scanned with the same name (ie. default manufacturer name) with different serial numbers,
For SOX Audit purposes – need to track deletions for Requests or Changes
In order to meet our auditors specific request, we have been asked to provide a report showing all deleted incidents/requests and changes. I understand SDP does not provide this as once a deletion has occurred, that ticket is forever lost. Is there a plan underway to archive all deleted incidents/requests or changes in a manner that I can report on all deleted incidents/request or changes after the fact?? Or, is there way to report on these now? Thanks, Jamie

Bulk change "Requester allowed to view" and/or set user default

Is there a way to make this set as such upon import. In addition is there a way to bulk change this setting for the ~490 users I have already imported? Thanks, -Chris
CMDB API - Query Workstation
Hello, I'm trying to develop a web application that will accept a workstation name and allow me to return a list of possible matches. Then, the user can select the appropriate match and edit a UDF on the workstation. Basically, my company is looking to use this to accomplish a mobile inventory task and associate room # (UDF). So....I have verified that the Servlet API works just fine for updating the UDF and actually got that static HTML page up on a webserver and working very quickly. Now however,
Email fetching is failing because SDP cannot delete the email from the server
We have a particular email that keeps crashing fetching. The error says that SDP cannot delete the email from the mail server, and that we should manually delete the email from the server. However, my IT team tells me they cannot find the email on the mail server, so we cannot delete. We are then in an endless loop, because every time we restart fetching, SDP fetches the same email and then crashes on the delete part. No other emails make it in. Please help! Diana
Modify HTTP 404 Error
Is there a way I can modify the 404 Error page. We are cutting over from our old HelpDesk system to yours. I plan on pointing the IP address in DNS of our old sever to the new server so the old links will route to the new server. Problem is when doing so, the old links will issue a 404 error on the new server. I would like to modify the 404 page or have it somehow automatically redirect to the default page for the user to sign-in or better yet for single sign-on to auto authenticate the user.
Converting .cer SSL cert& a key store to PFX
Is there a way to convert a .cer SSL cert & keystore to a PKCS#12 (PFX) with the keytool.exe in C:\ManageEngine\ServiceDesk\jre\bin ? I need to convert my current certificate to PFX format but my CA (Symantec) does not provide certs in PFX format. I read that OpenSSL can do the conversion but I am not sure if ME ServiceDesk Plus uses openssl or just the keytool. Please advise. Thanks & Regards, Winston
Asset Management
Morning all, In asset tracking, currently when a CI sits in assets its displayed as *computername@domain*. When scheduled scanning is run and the workstation name or config is changed the old CI is tagged as *computername@domain*_old, Is there anyway we can make all the _old just get removed from the asset pool instead of getting tagged with _old?

Resolution auto closing
We are having a problem where Requests are created and the resolution is automatically filled in with nothing, MESDP then thinks that the resolution has been entered. When technicians close a job the closure rule thinks a resolution is entered when in fact its not, allowing our Organization to miss out of valuable Solutions. We have gone through all our templates to make sure that they haven't got any characters, symbols, numbers or spaces entered. The only odd thing we could find: we edit a template

Hey, I would like to configure a sort of workflow which is changes based on specified criteria in the self-service portal. For example we have 4 different options to choose from: - iPhone 6 - iPhone 6+ - iPhone 6s - iPhone 6s+ As seen below I made a drop down list with the available phones.

When they choose iPhone 6+ they can choose
Migrate ServiceDesk Plus to a new Active Directory
Hello all, we are currently migrating to a new Active Directory infrastructure (name included - now we have "abc.local" and tomorrow will be "efg.local"). Here are the steps we made on SD: 1. Add the new Active Directory on the SD configurations 2. Promote this new AD as public (this way the migrated users are abled to connect by choosing the correct domain) Here are the steps we made on our infrastructure 1. We added the new domain 2. We migrated a current user from domain abc.local to efg.local
Cannot remove all tasks on a Request
We created a Service Request template with 3 tasks. By default, SDP enables all tasks, but gives an option to clear the tasks at the bottom of the form. I create a request using the template and Add it. I then reopen and Edit the ticket, clear 2 of the 3 check boxes and Update request. This works correctly, as the corresponding tasks are removed when I go to the Tasks tab. However, if I Edit and clear all 3 fields and click Update request, SDP behaves as if I had all 3 check boxes set, and shows
Reports to list Top 10's

auto notify email if a request does not have an update for X time frame?
Is there a way to set this up, so that old tickets with no activity can email out their status, so that a technician can either close them or address accordingly? If there isnt anything in the application that can do it, is there anything we can setup on the server box itself, to check a database value, or whatever would represent that a request has been dormant for a certain time frame? the pseudo code might be something like this. If "value" is > 3 days, then email $technician or $supportGroup
2 not so big improvents that makes ServiceDeskPlus so much more usefull
1. The notes field in a request should be full featured like a resolution (with possibility for pictures,fonts, etc) 2. There should be 2 resolution fields : the existing one for the requester and a completely simular field only for technicians (also full featured like the existing resoltion field)
Date/Time Selector is terrible
It checks validity of the time/date before I finish entering it. I choose a minute, POPUP. Choose an hour, POPUP. Choose a date, POPUP. This results in a ton of popup dialog boxes. Use a new library for this please.
Change Request 'Pending Approval'

Preventative Maintenance tasks - assign to non SDAdmin roles
With our installation of SDP, I have about 20sites, and 20 technician with some technicians associated to multiple sites. I have 3 SDAdmin roles, and all other Technicians are SDSiteAdmin's. I need the Technicians to be able to fully manage their sites, but I don't want to give everyone SDAdmin role My problem is that I can't seem to find a way to add additional functions to the SDSiteAdmins role such as "preventative Maintenance". The Create new Role isn't very helpful either, as the maximum
Notifications and Resource Info
Custom forms in the Request module contain 'Resource Info' details -- is there a way to include these details in an automated notification. For example, when a ticket is assigned the technician notification contains the request description and the resource info (checklist, checkbox, etc.)
Change wording on notification alert
Is it possible to change the wording that appears on the notifications drop-down menu? We have changed the wording in our notification rules (Admin > Notification Rules) but the wording does not appear in the notifications drop-down as above. Do we need to change this separately?
