Prod & Dev
We are looking at running both a Prod and Dev version of ServiceDesk so that we can apply patches to the Dev before going live with them. I was wondering if anyone else has done this? And if so do you have to buy a second license?
Approval Tab for PO
Hi, Can we suggest that for the POs, that there be a separate Tab to Track Approvals (kind of like in Change) so at a glance it is easy to tell who has/hasnt given approval? Thanks.

Scaned Serial Number moved to service tag
Hi Team, Does any one have the same problem, we scan the desktops with SDP agent installed but the serial number picked up by agent is showing in service tag in assets.and keeps serial number field blank. We requires the serial number captured to be placed in serial number field only.

Cannot upgrade to any version past 8201
Hello, Recently, I upgraded SDP to version 8201. Now I am unable to upgrade to any later version. I have tried Versons 8203,8205 and 8206. Every time the upgrade fails the only error message that appears on the Java client is "Sorry, Uninstallation is currently not supported" Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Unable to import active directory users with Firefox
Hi There, Recently upgraded our SDP software to 8.2.0 Build 8204, but have since discovered that I'm unable to perform an Active Directory user import when using Firefox (v21.0) as my browser. Capture.PNG is what I'm seeing in Firefox, Capture_IE.PNG is what I can see in Internet Explorer (domain and OU names removed). I did need to flush my cache for some things to display correctly post-upgrade, however refreshing with CTRL+F5 on this page has no effect. I can workaround the issue at the moment
MSSQL DB backend, MESD transaction log fills HDD
Over the last few weeks we have noticed strange behavior with the transaction logs for MESD. We are using MSSQL 2008 for the DB backend. This was originally configured back in November, and has been working fine until recently. Not sure what changed, but it is now to the point where we need to truncate the log file a few time a day. We've seen the transaction log file reach 65GB on a slow day, which makes no sense. When this happens, the service desk all but dies - it loads up fine but no one can
Installed software on workstations report
We are looking for a custom report that we can query for a specific software package or part of a software name (wildcard). The report needs to be grouped by the software title, and list the workstations and the assigned users underneath that. We are running MSSQL on 7.506. I have tried some of the queries on this board, but nothing returned the desired results. Thanks.

Problems after 8.2 update
We have finally updated to the 8.2 version because we had a need to use Project Management. The result is now a non-functioning Service Desk app. Thus far, we have uncovered the following problems since running the update to 8.2... The Home tab displays a mostly blank page. Only the Quick Create displays, the rest is blank. For some users, the dashboard tab indicates that a plugin is required. Did not have that before. Recieve an HTTP 500 error when I attempt to open a incident or request that
REST API and User defined attribute
I am using the REST API to create requests. Data is sent via the INPUT_DATA xml attribute. Everything works fine. I would like to add a user defined attribute to the xml structure but the problem is the syntax of this attribute : "N° de Client" <Operation> <Details> <subject>Specify Subject</subject> <N° de Client>N9812</N° de Client> </Details> </Operation> The above xml structure is incorrect (spaces and special char), is there any solution without modifying the user defined attribute's

Hi there, There are some additional fields I can choose when creating a custom report All Requests. On the first step, under available columns, there are lots of old fields I used for testing. is there a way to find out where if it's being used, and how to delete them? Thank you for your advice.

Hi, I wondered if somebody could help me. Is it possible with the system for it to send an email to X address if there is a new request that has not been assigned for a period of time? Thanks Paul
Matrix report - group dates by week
Hi, I want to create a matrix report which lists my technicians on the left in rows and the columns on top are broken down into weekly periods (the range may be a year, multiple or a single month with a weekly breakdown). The content is to show how many tickets the technicians raised on a weekly basis. The wizard doesn't allow me to group days into weeks, is there a way to do this via an MS SQL query? Fields I'm working with are Created By (filtered on my technicians name because staff can create

Servicedesk and Desktop Central
Hi, I have been using Desktop Central for a while now and it has all my assets and software licensing in it. We have just started to use ServiceDesk Plus and I don't want to have to maintain two seperate asset and software licensing lists. Are the two integrated in anyway to prevent this and if so how do I setup? Thanks Paul
mobile client and logon problem
I've install the ManageEngineServiceDesk Plus app from Play store on my android phone. I've inserted my ip for my server and I'm trying to logon. But I get "Login Failed" - User authentication failed. I know my password is correct. I think it's related to the same fact when I'm trying to logon to the web, I have to spesify that I'm not using domain, but local authentication. I can't figure out what to type in front of my user name to force it to use local authentication. Could anyone please tell
Role problem vs tasks
Hello, We are experiencing a little problem since update to version 8203. We have custom roles created for our support groups. Previously we had it configured that some support groups working with tasks werent able to see all request in the "Technician Allowed to view" and were only able to see the requests that were assigned to group or to him directly, and they were able to work properly with tasks and worklogs. After updating from version 8125 to version 8203 technicians with this role are
Exchanging tickets between two ManageEngine helpdesks
We have ManageEngine Servicedesk plus, our supplier (who we exchange a lot of tickets with) also uses ManageEngine has the MSP version. We are currently exchanging tickets between the two of using using email as the interface, but it is not without issue, as they already have access to our network and we are both using similar ManageEngine products, is their a richer way to interconnect them?
Graphique interface for solution in the customer interface
Hi, I have been searching for an option to change the way solutions are presented to the user in the self service portal. It would be nice to have the same interface for solutions as the request catalog. It is a lot more user friendly. One other improvement would be to add a link to an approved (and availible to all) solution in the request catalog for those that have one. We would like our users to log to the self service portal and look for solutions to their problems and to create a request from

Notication Rules not working in SDP
Hello, I am trying to test the configuration of our new SDP installation, but some of the notification rules are not working. Only when a request is raised for a requester it works, but it doesn't for when a request is resolved or closed. I have check that the rules are activated but nothing happens. Incoming and outgoing SMTP settings are fine. Attached is system file. If you need thread dump, let know.
Custom Theme Improvements
Hi, I'm pleased to see the custom theme option, but there are some inconsistencies in how the colors are applied that really should be corrected. It's easiest to explain with a screenshot: Basically, the Edit/Close/Assign/Actions/Reply buttons are drawn with black text on a solid color when it would likely make more sense to match them to the top tabs, both in terms of having a gradient background and also having a customizable text color. This would work better in cases like ours, where the
ServiceDesk Plus Issues

DueBy Date changing by itself when merging tickets
I recently noticed an issue in which the DueBy Date is changing when it shouldn't be. From checking the history of these tickets being affected, it seems that merging tickets is causing the problem, because that is the latest action shown in the history of affected tickets. The 2nd to last action would be me having manually changed the DueBy Date. So I'm wondering if maybe the issue is that the manual DueBy Date change is not sticking to the original ticket when a new ticket is merged to the original

"Acknowledge requester by e-mail when the request is updated" Does not work properly
This notification never works properly. When assign a technician, and I can see in the history that the request has been updated, the requester never gets an email notifying them about the technician assignment. It's not until the request is closed that the "request updated" email goes out, so the requester ends up getting 2 emails at the exact same time; one saying it's updated, one stating it's closed. Why won't the ServiceDesk notify our requesters when a technician is assigned? We want it
Requester Additional Fields
We have used query reports previously to extract requester information in to Excel. The query report below has stopped working since we upgraded recently. I believe that the table containing the additional fiels has now changed but don't know what it's called. Previously the following code extracted everyone with UDF_Char3 = Yes, but now when you update the field that used to be UDF_Char3 (in our case - 'Is Membership Manager') it doesn't appear to be updating in Requester_fields.

Good morning. Yesterday, trying to apply the update to 8205 of ServiceDesk Plus and after all the usual steps (engine stop and full backup) the UPDATEMANAGER gave an error (attached the log).
