Scanning Vmware ESXi 4.1
I have been working on this all morning to no avail. We have 3 ESX 5 hosts that scan correctly and work properly with showing the virtual machines it hosts and the proper information. But we have 1 ESXi 4.1 host that is a standalone development box that, when scanned, gives the following error. FAILURE :One of the workstation attribute which is mandatory is set as NULL. Hence this workstation cannot be added. But the problem is that it doesn't say which attribute is set to NULL, instead it leaves
Postgres Issues
Since installation we have been receiving the following error in Event Viewer and ServiceDesk has been flaky at best. Any ideals? The description for Event ID 0 from source PostgreSQL cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information

7507 Site missing as a criteria in Business Rule
Let me preface by stating we were one of the companies which pushed for some other Requester designator to import from AD, other than "Department". We are a multi-national corporation with over 50 offices world-wide. "Department" is restrictive to a Global Enterprise as a true source of routing requests. Last year we participated in a private meeting with ServiceDesk Engineers where we made it clear the Office field in AD was a much more powerful choice. And it was promised to us we would have
Purchasing module
Would it be possible to add an account number or GL code to each line item in a purchase request? The only option that is currently available is to have a single GL for the entire purchase order. We currently use an excel spreadsheet that has space for a different account number for each line item and we have multiple account numbers that we use when completing a purchase order.

Exclude specific IP addresses during scan
Few of our customers have requested a feature where in certain IP addresses configured should be excluded during scan in SDP. The main purpose of this post is to collect the scenario's where customers need such a feature. Like A network has both workstations and ip phones and we do not want ip phones to be scanned. There are a set of machines which are not managed by me but handled by a different technician and I do not want those to be scanned. Moreover would support for configuring device names

Add custom views to problems and changes tab
We would like the abbility to create custom views on the changes and problems tabs.
Linking Solutions to Incidents
At the moment, adding a Solution to an Incident simply copies the contents of the Solution to the Resolution tab of the Incident. This makes it virtually impossible to report on the use and effectiveness of Solutions. It would be great if Solutions could be "attached" to an Incident, much in the same way Changes and Problems are. We could then report on the number of Incidents attached to particular Solutions, and potentially track trends and provide more proactive support. thanks.
Changing values in the database and getting the service to notice
Happy users of ServiceDesk Plus, however we have two very high priority application needs- -SLAs measured in business hours / days. -Business rules (e.g. auto-assignment) that vary based upon time of day / day of week. For the latter a seemingly simple, albeit hacked, fix is to change the underlying data in the database, disabling one rule and enabling another at scheduled times. My only concern is whether the application actively caches this data and thus would have no reason to re-read it, and

Associate Product to Vendor
- I have an Asset which originally have the following information. Product Name = "blank" Vendor Name = Mang Jack's Surplus - During audit, the Product Name (which was originally empty) and the Vendor from whom the Asset was purchased from are updated to: Product Name = Dell R710 Vendor = Dell Authorized Distributor - When I go to Admin>>Vendor and click on the Dell Authorized Distributor, Products Tab - Dell R710 is not listed as an associated product. Is this the expected
User must close call once resolved?
I've been asked to research various helpdesk solutions and have installed a trial version of ManageEngine. One of the requirements from management is the user must close their own call once resolved by a tech. This is to ensure they are happy with the resolution. Does ManageEngine do this and if yes where in the config is this specified? Thanks,

Additional fields problem
Has anyone had a problem with the incorrect default value showing for an additional field when creating via a template? I have a field which contains drop downs of 0,1 and 2. It always defaults on 0 rather than "select": When I check the configuration under admin > Incident - Additional Fields, 0 is not selected as the default selection: I have restarted the service a few times and this has not helped. Any ideas at all? This Service Desk is on Version : 8.0.0 Build 8013 Thanks, Mike
Requester's name
Hi, SDP 8122. Trying to create request for requester with name embedding slash or simple quote gives error : "You cannot create a request for this user. The user belongs to a site for which you do not have access." The same user but without a slash or simple quote has no error. So "john doe" is ok but not "john d'oe". Is it a bug or some a limitation ? jeff
Change Management Questions
Hi, We are finalizing our Change Management process and would like to know if the Change Management module of Service Desk Plus will be able to suport: 1. configure workflow of Change Status i.e. freshly created Change Requests have a default Status. And depending on the current Status you can only go to a certain status. ex: From For Cab Approval to "Rejected" or "Approved" only and not straight to "Completed" 2. configure mandatory fields per status of the Change 3.

Option to set an expiry date when receiving item in PO
Hi guys, it would be nice to have the option to set an expiry date for the Software License or Asset in the Purchase Module when we receive items. I currently have to go in every asset to set the expiry date. Also would be nice, when a software license is expired to have the license automatically set to expired and not be able to assign is anymore, currently the expired license are still available to be assign to client. thank you Frikdel
Incident and Service Templates not working after Update to 8125!
After updating the incident templates are no longer accessible: javax.servlet.ServletException: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_CI_AS" in the equal to operation. We also get an error when trying to change service templates: FAILURE :Exception while trying to get the Incident Template details. Seems to be a collation problem of the database.

Error editing workstation
We're having problems when editing a workstation. On the "Edit Windows Workstation" screen, all of the information appears down to "Asset is currently". The appropriate drop-down is displayed, and then nothing else shows up. In IE 9, I get this: <span id="hideR; Firefox doesn't display the HTML tag, but it also stops displaying any further information. The problem happens more frequently than not, but is not entirely consistent (sometimes the full information will display). Strangely, a reboot of

How to properly group requests based on the asset involved?
Hi there, At the moment, i know (roughly) how to produce a list of all requests based on the user/requester name. But is there a way to easy do this based on asset? What we're trying to achieve is to perhaps quickly find out how many incident an asset is involved with. Unfortunately when viewing the Requests tab (under technician view), Asset is not listed in the selectable column view. Thank you for your advice.
Ignoring Linux hosts in scheduled scan

Service Catalog Service Inputs vs Additional Fields
Build: SDP Enterprise Version 8114 Up until now we have basic templates configuration for our service catalogs. And since the end user is getting accustomed with the interface we would like to make changes into our service catalogs in order to capture as much information as possible. There are two ways. The first is the additional fields which you can define in template ( with a limitation of 24 text characters for one IT Service Category) and the other being through resources which does not have

I'd like a report that would be able to display the following information: Resource Type No. of Items Cost Workstation (Laptop) 50
