upgraded to 7606: the technician groups are not shown any more
Hello I just upgraded to 7606. Everything works fine, EXEPT that the groups are not shown in the dropdown lists anymore. Here's my debugging: When creating a new request, the groups are available in the 'Group' dropdown list. After selecting the site in the 'Site' dropdown list, the groups disappear. I can not select the group in the 'group' dropdown list any more. The only option is '-- Select Group --' When setting back the site to 'Not associated to any site' the groups become available again
Select Asset popup size problem
After our upgrade to 8.1 the size of the popup windows when we are to add/change asset doesn't show all information. We are not seeing the search icon and we have to change the size every time we open the select asset page. I have included a screen shoot of this. Is there an easy way to change this for our self since we use this often? Best regards Peter Samuelsson Sodra Skogsagarna
Video's in Solutions
We are on SDP 8.1 8107 Is there a way that we can include embedded video in a solution? For example, if I had a flash video showing how to change your desktop resolution, the user could then find that solution and have both text instructions or click on the embedded flash video (from youtube or another similar site) and watch and listen to the instructions. Currently it appears that we can only enter rich text and as such the code for embedded media does not work.

Microsoft CAL licensing - Can't add requester to 2 CAL software licenses
Hi, I've created 2 software licenses in ServiceDesk with license type 'CAL'. I've found if I add requester to first license then I can't add them to 2nd license. Going forward we have to manage CALs for Exchange, SQL Server and Windows Server. I will need to add requester to 3 licenses if possible. Am I doing something wrong or it's not possible to add requester to multiple licenses? Thanks, Shazad

Problem merging incident and service templates in 8.1
Well I figured since the SDP tech support team isn't going to reply to my support request, maybe I'll have better luck with the forums. Here's the problem: We are excited for the new features in 8.1 and are ready to upgrade however we first ran a test environment to pinpoint any possible problems. In doing this we have noticed that our incident templates and service templates do not merge properly in the user portal, even though we have selected for them to merge in the Admin. Basically we have

Setting up Opmanager - servicedeskplus environment
Hi all, We just bought Opmanager & servicedeskplus. What are the best practices? We can install it on a physical server or we can create a vm on our vpshere 5 farm. In case of failures, opmanager must run as long as possible, to keep sending alerts. In that case, I think installing it on physical machine would be better. Our central sql server is a vm in our vsphere 5 farm. So what if the vmware farm goes down? Can opmanager send alerts, even if the sql server is offline? Or is it better to store

Unable to log in as locally after test migration to Linux
Hi there, We are currently testing a migration of servicedesk 8106 from Windows to Linux. The migration is flawless, however we are unable to log in to the administrator account. We have also tried resetting the password to the admin account, and another local account through the sql back end, but still no luck. One thing we didnt do as a test, was remove any domain / ldap authentication from the live database before moving across to linux. Is there a 'migration guide' available from ManageEngine

MAC-addresses in assets
I have two servers with RRaS service installed. Virtual VPN Adapter always uses MAC=00:53:45:00:00:00, so i have two servers with same MAC. I can switch off identification by MAC, but in this case when i reinstall office computer under another network name i will have two computers in assets -- one with old name and one with new. So i think it is better not to use information related to virtual network adapters in assets http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenp/archive/2010/11/04/find-only-physical-network-adapters-with-wmi-win32_networkadapter-class.aspx

Time Spent combined reports.
I already have the answer from Tech Support that what I am asking for needs to be evaluated for future development, however, thought I would post to see if anyone has a workaround in place already. I would like to build a custom report that pulls from all modules where technicians can log time on a project or request, task, problem log, or change management. currently I have separate queries for these, that don't really line up to show the right data. so If anyone else has taken it upon themselves
Unable to send external mails via servicice desk
We need to send PO to Vendors outside our domain(external mails) but efforts in doing so has proved futile. Changing the Vendors email address to any of our local mail addresses work perfectly but whenever we try sending to another domain an error pop up "sending notification failed". However exchange is working perfectly. Thinking it could be the anti-virus we tried running it on a machine without an anti-virus but it still failed. Kindly assist in rectifying this issue.
