Report Discrepancies
Today, I ran some end of semester reports (we're a school district) and I noticed some discrepancies. I ran the Requests Received by Category and came up with a number of 705. Then I ran a report of Completed Requests by Category and included closure statuses of Closed, Resolved, and Closed Duplicate(a closed state where the user put in a request for the same thing). When I run that report, I get a number of 674. Now, theoretically the Requests Received - Completed Requests should = Number of Tickets

Agent Scanning over Internet
Hey there, Two questions: 1.) Is it possible to have the asset agent communicate over the internet? If so, what are the parameters necessary? For example I see there is a server address and agent port, so say my server is hosted on a server called "SDPServer". Would I be able to have a Firewall rule to allow connections to http://SDPServer.domain.com:9000 and have laptops on the internet update their information? 2.) What would be the implications of having asset information updated while the user

Editing My Details Removes Requester Domain Setting
We have the latest version of Service Desk Plus Pro with latest service pack.We have configured the AD passthrough authentication and this is working fine. However if a user goes into My Details and makes a change, for example puts in their Employee ID number, that user is consequently dropped from the domain and can no longer login to the service desk. To fix it an administrator has to go back in to Edit the requester and change their domain back to what it should be. I'm not sure if this is a bug

Reporting on Rogue Admins?
I'm running 7.60 build 7610 on MS SQL Server. I'd like to be able to track down the activity of a "rogue" admin who has been dispatching tickets outside of our standard process. The thing is, I can't figure out how to show in a report the person who dispatched a ticket.

connection to domain after patching- cannot log in
I am running version 8 with build 8006 of service desk plus We authenticate through active directory and SDP is running on a windows machine (mysql backend). The issue we are seeing in our test environment for the last few patches is that when the patch is applied and servicedesk starts up, we cannot log in as service desk seems to not see active directory. The workaround is to restart service desk plus a second time.
Asset Disposed Report
I am trying to create a report that will run every month, and it will list assets that we have disposed during that month. I'd like it to use the date that we actually switched the assets "Resourse State" to "Disposed" as the criteria in the date filter.

Best Practice - Integrating ServiceDesk with SupportCenter
We're looking into on how to best have requests/problems that relies on internal as well as external (customer) workflows. i.e. a customer request escalates and gives cause to open a SD problem with a followup change etc. There seem to be no obvious way to integrate the two products... I'm looking forward to hear what ME suggests as well as the community, how do you guys do it? Use Case: 1) Customer support recieves a ticket that looks like it's caused by some core component bug 2) Customer support

asset inventory, strange PC names
After we upgraded to v8 we started to see workstations listed twice in the asset list. For instance we would have a server name Server1.whatever.com and then we would have one almost identical named Server1.whatever.com.old Its seems almost random when one will show up. But they do show up. If I delete the entry, it will show back up again. It does not seem to be hurting anything but its starting to get annoying. thanks j
Asset Agent
Hi I am evaluating v 8 of sdp, I noticed the asset explorer, what I do not understand is why when an asset is in a remote location in the service desk inventory it will try to connect to the local ip address of the asset (ex 192.x.x.x) instead the current public internet address, I have in the agent config selected both methods but still all remote machines will show their local / ip address instead of public address making it impossible to remote control or even refresh the invenotry of them Regards

Agent mode scanning
How often local agent scans the computer ? And report about it ? Will it done on each start of the computer ?

Task reporting/combining with Request totals
Hello! We desperately need a way to generate reports in SDP just like the "Requests by Technician" but for tasks. They would need to be editable for date ranges just like all the current default reports. It would be even better if for reporting purposes there was an option to combine task counts and statuses alongside requests. We are having to generate individual tickets for everything beucase we don't have a way to give the technicians "credit" for the tasks they complete because we can't make
