Single Sign on Weirdness
We had to do a full reinstall of our servicedesk due to MySQL corruption. We now have our database running on an MSSQL which is backuped up fairly regularly. Since going live with the rebuild, we've been having an issue with Single Sign-On, I used the bat script provided to configure the computer account. What is weird is that, although it doesn't work for us at all in Internet Explorer - it works perfectly fine in Firefox. I've checked my credential manager. I've reset IE to factory

How to access a saved raft of an email correspondence?
I recently received this question from one of our help desk agents and I wasn't sure how to respond back to them. When they go to send an email from within the ticketing system, sometimes they get side tracked and they may not have everything completed, and they get this message saying that the draft has been saved. If the message window accidentally gets closed, is there any way to access this draft so that they can recover and continue from the point of the last save? Regards, Carlo Senior Client

Access to Request ticket from Problem?
Hi. From a Problem, we would like to be able to see the conversations in an associated incident. Within a Problem, when looking at the detail of an associated request via the Requests tab, the request conversations are not included in that view. It would be very helpful to be able to view the conversations as well. This could be achieved two ways. The conversations could simply be included in the detail view of a incident when viewed from the Incidents tab of a problem. In the list of associated
Adding solutions to All Accounts & updating when new account is created
When adding a solution, Accounts need to be associated to it. If I select all the Accounts in the list - then all can view the solution. However if I then add a new account, this is not in the list of Accounts who can view the solution. This will mean that when we have a new customer, (ie account), we will have to go through all solutions and associate that account. Is this correct or is there another way of doing this? Thank you
Prevent requester notifications
Hello! I have a requester imported from AD which I´ve changed to technician and added the user to a role who have permissions to add requests. I´ve also created a specific template for this purpose where the requester can set "Group". The idea is to receive alerts from a monitoring system which sends out e-mails with the above mentioned technicians e-mail address. How do I prevent this requester/technician/e-mail address to receive notifications regarding everything about the request, for example

Exclude 'store', 'expired', 'disposed' machines from scan?
I have a long list of workstations that can not be scanned. No big surprise, most of them are turned off and sitting in my storeroom. Is there a way to exclude them from being scanned (and failing) but still keep them in the database? This way, I could focus on the machines that REALLY can't be scanned.... Thank you!

Difference between ServiceDesk and desktop central
Hi support, I have some questions. We're running both desktopcentral and servicedesk plus. 1) You can take remote control of a computer with servicedesk and desktopcentral. Only, there is some big difference between those two. With remote desktop in Desktopcentral you have more options and it works a lot faster. Why is the remote desktop tool in servicedesk not the same as in desktopcentral? 2) Desktop central syncs all our workstations to servicedesk plus. We're also using MDM in desktop central,

External Database
Hi, I would like to know if SDP has the option to get external data from another database. Example, I made a template where the user has to input the license plate and name of the owner in two additional fields I made, but this info is in another system that uses MS SQL and right now they have to input it by hand. I wanted to know if its possible to let's say input a certain number and the system consults the external data and brings it to the Service Desk. Thanks, Bijan

Purchase order permissions

Is there a way to create a role that would allow them to create a PO but not delete. We still

Closing Requests with multiple tasks
Hi I setup an incident template which has 12 tasks to complete before the incident can be closed. I also setup a status called "Skipped" which is a "complete" status, the same as "closed". Although I have it set that associated tasks must be completed before the incident can be closed, I would like some of the task statuses to be set as "skipped" as there is occasionally nothing required for those steps. However manageengine doesnt seem to allow this?, the only status that allows closure of the

Attachments in notification e-mails.
Hi Is it possible to get the attachments included in a ticket attached to the notification e-mails? We have some external support partners and when a ticket is assigned to them the notification e-mail gets sent to their support system and generate a ticket. Now they need to log in to our system to get the attachments and it would save a lot of time if it could be included in the notification e-mail. Br /Thomas
