Difference
What is the difference between an "incident" and a "problem"?
Purchase new software via purchasing?
We've been using SD for a few years now and we're trying to begin using the purchasing module. I'm trying ot purchase new software that is not currently managed but when I attempt to add a new product it presents me with a list of all scanned software. We don't have this software scanned because I'm trying to purchase it. Is there a step I've missed? How do I purchase software we've never had before or had inventoried?

How to know the memory type and frequency of client PC?
I want to know the RAM/ memory type (i.e DDR1/ DDR2 etc) and its frequency (533MHz/ 667MHz etc) on the client PC on which SDP client is installed.. Please advise on how to view the RAM type as well as RAM frequency of the memory fitted in client PC such that the details are visible in the central console. It should display the frequency of the RAM as 667MHz etc as available. However in the Memory Type column should show results as DDR1/ DDR2/ DDR3/ SDRAM etc as available. How to ensure this?
Cannot create custom views
If I try to create a custom view to filter service requests, once I save the view and select the new view, IE goes into an endless loop and does not display any data. It merely attempts to refresh the screen every half second. We are using: Windows Server 2003, SP1 Windows XP Pro, SP3 IE6 (with no prospect in the near future of upgrading. SDP V8. Build 8009
date format does not update
If a user selects "Personalize" and selects a new date format the following happens when save is clicked: The date format on the Personalize dialog is changed and saved and a "success" message displayed The dialog does not close. Nor do either of the buttons change to say "Close" or anything resembling that. When you close the dialog, all dates remain in short format e.g. 18/07/2011 We are running on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Pro SP3, IE6
Request approval
I'm wondering if this is possible... Can you have a request that needs approval before being carried out, in a similar way that a Purchase Order needs approval before it can move to an order? We want to implement forms for setting up new accounts and for adding network permissions, but we'd like there to be an email to a selected manager to approve the request before it gets done. I'm guessing we'd need to upgrade to Enterprise for this and use Service Catalog, but I don't want to pay up unless I'm
requests assigned to group from web form not really assigned
The requests go unnoticed because they seem to be assigned to a group by the user in the webform. But in reality they are not. The group email is never sent and the technicians in the group can not see the request. Only by manually checking every request that came in thrue web form, we can get rid of the problem, but sometimes we fail to do so, and request stay unnoticed for more then a week. Ofcourse this is unacceptable, why is this serious bug still not fixed? It has been promised a couple of
Change Manager Access
Hi, Is there a way to configure SDP wherein a Change Manager can only approve certain Changes from a particular group or criteria ? We want to have different Change Manager for each group. For example if it's a Database Management related change, only the DB Change Manager can approve it other Change Managers should not be able to approve the Change Request. Thanks, Jon

Constantly unable to remotecly connect to workstations...
We're running v8 build 8013. It seems like we're constantly having problems connecting to workstations when trying to remote control then. All of our workstations are using v1.05 of the agent. It seems 2 out of 5 attempts results in a failure. If we try the machine a few days later, we can usually reconnect to it. It's not a firewall issue--we have completely disabled the firewall on all of our workstations. Because of this, we've had to resort to another remote control utility. Most of this seems
Field Labels not fully visible for Additional Asset details during New Asset Entry
We have added few additional fields in the Asset - Additional Fields details and Workstation Additional Info using Configuration Windows of the SDP software. However, it is seen that when the length of field Labels is more than about 20 Characters, the field Label Text does not Word wrap and it appears truncated to the user entering the details of the new asset. This problem however does not come when the asset details are edited later. When the editing is being done, then all the field labels appear

Service Desk + - Preventive Maintenance tasks fail to start
Hi there, We migrated our SD+ 7.5 build from a win2003 server to SD+ 8.0.0.8 on a win2008 SR2, and since then have noticed that the preventive maintenance tasks fail to run unless the SD service has been stopped and restarted. We've had a look at the serverout logs to find what actually happens at those scheduled times but cant see anything out of the ordinary, apart from the fact that theres no entry for those tasks. Currently all we have as a workaround is a scheduled task to stop / restart the

Solutions - suggestion, reproduce similar functional to phpkb
Hi, I think it would be great if the solutions module was developed with similar functionality to this software - phpkb We currently use the Mindtouch wiki free version for documenting procedure and system details, but it would be great if we could store all of our knowledge and documents regardint the ICT systems within SDP. I don't think that the current Solutions module is quite right for this yet - I'd love to see the page layout formats from phpkb to present the solutions and document for easy

Manage Engine data migration is effectively impenetrable to prospective customers
It is effectively impossible to determine whether Manage Engine is a suitable alternative to an existing Service Desk solution. Any company wanting to move from another service desk package to ME would need to migrate their existing data into Manage Engine, but ME publishes no list of available fields. The standard response to such questions is "send us your data and we'll evaluate it", but what comes back is a guess at mapping showing only the subset of fields the ME technicians think may be correct.
SLA ammendments
Hi, Is there anyway you can restrict that a SLA is not allowed to be changed - eg the due date of a completion of a job? I am aware that 'put on hold' is available, but does this extend the SLA accordingly? I look forward to your comments. Cheers, Andy

Approval Status is not updated
Hi, We have this issue wherein after a CAB member has approved a change request using the email link, the Approval Status of the change request stays at N/A. If we go to the Change request and down to Approvals it already shows as Recommended However if the CAB member opens the change request using SDP and approves the change, there is no issue. The change request approval status will show as Approved. Thanks, Jon
