Asset scan fails when PC is renamed
We name our PC's with the owners name so that when the PC changes owner we rename the PC. This has the advantage that on the network we can see machine ownership and access shared folders etc. The serial number obviously stays the same. However when using the Service desk asset manager instead of detecting the change and updating the record it throws up an error : FAILURE :Database exception while updating Workstation.Please report the problem to the system administrator, with the Error Code

Custom Report - Number of days open by SLA?
Hi, I'd like to create a series of reports showing the date it was created, the date it was closed, and calculate the number of days/hours it was open for each SLA we have set up - I need this to ensure our average closure rate (days/hours) is being met against target. Anyone know how to do this - looking at the raw data, the date/time fields are in a numerical format. Thanks

Scheduled creation of requests based on assets
Hi I would like to auto create requests taken from an asset perspective. Eg. I have several windows server assets in SDP for which I have a monthly task of doing windows update and several other maintenance tasks, instead of making an "preventive maintenance" on each asset I would like SDP to make a rule that does this based on eg. asset type - is that possible or is it a new feature that you would have to develop? Regards, Poul
OpManager Integration Issue
I am trying to setup integration with our Opmanager server. The issue that I am having is that because we are using Active Directory login in Servicedesk it will not let me connect from the Opmanager side because I am guessing the password contains special characters. Also because we purchased five technicians (which is the actual number of people we have using the product) it will not allow me to have a local account to use for the Opmanager tie in, so I am required to use one of my technician
Reports Archive?
The support team can be great a providing custom reports almost on request via the forums. Have you thought of making them all available somewhere for everyone to browse through and selec the one they want. Maybe a forum section or built into the application to browse a controlled repository, almost like the solutions function within the application. May cut down the repeat requests and will allow the end users to not reinvent the whole wheel if there is a tried and trusted report that does most
How to install ServiceDesk database
I have downloaded the free version of ServiceDesk and I am evaluating it with the intention of buying the pro version. My question is: are there database tables I need to set up on my local server. This question is important to me, because I would like to run this product with an Oracle database at the backend. For the evaluation version, I would like to at least set up a Mysql database. Is it possible to run the product this way? I think this product looks great at this point, and I really would
Log in question
First of all, I am extremely new to ServiceDesk Plus. The only training I have been given is what is available online, and I am now an administrator! Here is my question: When a user browses to the HelpDesk application, they must select one of four databases, or "Local Authentication." I would like to configure this so that only our default db is listed in the "Log on to" box. (Currently, it says "-- Choose --".) I am sure this is some setting somewhere, but can't find the option. Thanks for
Adding a virtual folder to the web root
Hello, we're running ServiceDesk 7.6.0 here, and it's on the default port 80 (http://servicedesk/) We also have WSUS running on this server (on a different port) but one thing it does need is a virtual folder on the default port 80 called "SelfUpdate" pointing to some update files at C:Program FilesUe ServicesSelfupdate.

SD-24467 - Technician details lost on Group EDIT REQUEST
Just been testing the fix in 7604 listed above. From what I can see the headline issue of details being lost when the EDIT REQUEST button is used is resolved. However that sort of uncovers a flaw as far as I can see it - that of in appropriate settings being left on requests. The page only has options for 'LEAVE AS IS' and then specific named items for SITE, GROUP & TECHNICIAN So with a request that is configured as SITE: OFFICE A GROUP: SUPPORT TECH: JOHN You go to EDIT REQUEST and select SITE:
Add to Outlook Calendar
When adding a note it would be great to have a "call back time" field where you enter a time and date that you plan on calling the user back. (Same as the Executed Time in the Add Work Log) Then when you save the note the software will put an appointment on the users Outlook Calendar. Additionally, if you click the "Show this note to Requester also" button it would send the appointment request to the Requester as well. If it would be easier to add this functionality to the workflow instead of
Time report by site or by account . . .
I can't seem to get this function, i want to be able to do a Time Spent Report by account or site, it seems weird that this would not be available. Does anyone know of anyway in which i can get a report based on sites, or account which will shows individual technician times spent within that account or site within a defined period? Thanks, Tralisk
Requesters question
Hello, In our company we have superusers who are placing the request at the helpdesk for the user. Example John will call the helpdesk and ask for a technicien to go see Mary who is having problem with her laptop. Since there is only one requester field, how could I setup servicedesk+ to notify both user by email when the incident is opened?

Is there a way to retrieve versioninfo for ServiceDesk Plus from the ServiceDesk Plus database?
Hi, We are having issues with our ServiceDesk Plus installation while trying to upgrade it. Unfortunately, the upgrade failed and we seem to be unable to restore the ServiceDesk Plus installation from a VMware snapshot that was taken just before the upgrade (we get a 404 error in Apache). We do not know which version of ServiceDesk Plus was installed at the moment we did the upgrade and were told that not all versions will work with all database versions. Is there a way to retrieve the version information
Is there a way to disable cases re-opening when a user replies to a Closed request?
Is there a way to disable cases re-opening when a user replies to a Closed request? This throws off our reporting greatly, and I'd like to disable this feature of re-opening when a user replies. We get alot of THANK YOU'S in Replies, etc. and there is no reason to re-open the cases for this. I would be fine with an option that generates a new case, I see this option in the Self Service Portal section and have disabled re-opening there and generating a new case there.

Technician Leave and SLA Violation
Hi, We have had a few cases where technicians have placed themselves on leave within the Scheduler system but requests will still violate their SLA against this technician. After some digging into the system it appears that the leave system actually does nothing if you are not using the auto-assignment system. Is there any way to have an option that SLA's will not be violated if a technician is on leave. Regards, Blake

Merging requesters and linking requests
I wonder if someone can help me. It would seem on our system our domain(AD) has been added twice, once with the full domain name and once with the netbios/shorterned domain name e.g. a typical requester will appear linked to uk.domain.name as well as just uk. We want to merge these two so we only have the single requester but we also want the requests that may of been logged under the one we're getting rid of to be linked to their name sake under the other. Is this possible - as we do not want duplicates
Archive old users?
Is there a way to archive users that are no longer needed? We have some users that have left the company, so I'd like to clean up the Requester List.

ServiceDesk Remote Control?
Hello, Could I get a explanation on how the Remote Control works in ServiceDesk Plus? I have sucessfully connected to a user's workstation, however it was disconnected after couple of seconds.
