Updating ServiceDesk Plus very slow
We are currently using SDP 9023 and updating to 9027. We've had this issue for a while now, and am now finally deciding to post on the forums about it. Whenever we update SDP, the update process takes FOREVER--as in 15-20 minutes. We're running SDP as a virtual machine on Hyper-V, Server 2008 R2, 4 GB RAM, and 2 virtual CPUs. We have a few other non-critical applications running other virtual machines on the same machine so the Hyper-V server itself is not under any real load. I'm just curious why

Managers being able to view employee's requests
Currently, the ServiceDesk Plus allows us to set what requestors can view by the following: Tickets submitted by user Tickets submitted by Department Tickets submitted by Site Is there a way to allow a manager to view only tickets submitted by their direct reports? And is there a way to allow a Director over 2 departments to view all tickets submitted by his staff(s) but not see all tickets submitted by the site?
Meaningful Metrics - pulling useful data from SDP for reporting
Morning all, We’ve been using Service Desk Plus (V9 B 9010) for six months.

I’m interested to know how people on this forum do so using SDP. For example – I would like to know what our first time call resolution is. When looking to see how I could do so I spotted very quickly I couldn't run or create a report easily. I even found

Handling multiple inbound email accounts
We will have a multiple help desk email accounts. Since Exchange 2010 no longer retains the alias in the To: field, I have to come up with a different solution. Can SDP fetch from multiple email accounts? If not, I know I can create a mail enabled contact and setup a Transport Rule in Exchange to prepend a string to the email subject, then use a business rule to classify the ticket. Is there a way to then modify the ticket subject to remove that string?

Where do you define the unpicked time for a request
Scenario, New request comes in. Assigned to a group. Have the "Alert Group members by e-mail when a request is left unpicked in a group" turned on. ?? What is the time set to determine when an email should be sent? How do you check/change the elapsed time? We are looking for ways to notify our techs when a request has gone unpicked for >15 minutes. Business Rules do not accomplish this since they are only active on receipt and state no elapsed time. Anyone... Thanks, Cheryl
Notification question
Hello, We do not wish for notifications to be sent to the entire Support Group when a ticket is created from the Web View, and assigned directly to a specific technician. In that instance, the email notification should only go to that tech, and not spam the rest of the group. Is this possible? Thanks, Mitch

E Mail ID to notify field available on Change request form

External Emails
Good morning. We would like to setup ServiceDesk so that it does not send notifications to external users. We were able to do this with a previous build but I can't seem to get it setup again. Spam filtering does not work because we still want their ticket logged. Also, when a new ticket is opened up from an external user, we are not able to add new emails to the ticket by including the number in the subject, it still createds a new ticket. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Sending request detail as an email
My company uses SD+ for our ticketing system. We've engaged a 3rd party support group to help us with our workload but they use a different ticketing system. We'd like to forward requests from SD+ to their system as an email, but we can't figure out a way to include the Conversations and Notes in the message. Before I try to design something that grabs stuff from the database, is this a feature I'm overlooking?

Update install vs clean install
Hi, I compared the files in the install folder across two different types of install due to weird behaviors of our live environment (which has started with build 9020 and was updated to 9023) with a test environment (clean install of build 9023). I am confused as some binaries do not share the same md5 hashes. Can somebody tell me why for the same build I get different files ? Thanks in advance Maxime Gauthier
