Re-assigning Products to different Product Type
I have seen this issue on the forums before but it doesn't appear that there is a direct answer for it - I have also been working with ManageEngine Support and they are not able to figure it out. Here's the issue. I am trying to re-assign some of my Products to different types (Specifically, I created a product type called "PC Laptops" and I am trying to assign some of my laptop models to it, so they are out of the default "Workstations" Product Type. I was able to do all of my models with the exception

Default SD+ Refresh set to 3 Minutes - can we get it set back to 1 Minute?
Just upgraded from SD+ 7514 to 7605. Noticed in the release notes that the refresh was auto changed to 3 minutes. We've never had any problems using the 1 minute refresh. Is there any way we can set it back to 1 minute? thanks - Joe Zimmerman
Purchase
Hi there, Hoping you could assist. We have just installed Service Desk Plus and this is the first time we want to make use of the purchasing system. What I want to achieve is the following: I need to be able to have more than one person that approves a single order before it comes back to the person that requested the order. This needs to come in the form of a workflow however. So once person one has approved the order a mail is sent to person two to approve that same order before it is sent back
Users/requesters - which "bit" counts as the identity?
A long time requester who was in a senior position at one of our clients has left and joined a competitor. If we just change his contact details (telephone, email address etc) am I correct in assuming that he will still be able to see the requests that he placed from his old position when he logs in to the portal? Or does the account identity centre around the email address, or the login name or...? Which items do we need to change to prevent a user accessing the old data? Thanks - Terry

Accidentally deleted 'Region'
I have accidentally deleted a region. As a result, my associated sites are no longer appearing. I have recreated the region however, since the sites weren't deleted, I am not able to recreate these - FAILURE :Site with same name already exists. Please provide different value for Site Name. Obviously this is because the Site name already exists in the database but is still linked with the original Region that was removed. Is there a way that I can restore the link? Thank you
Installing Agent on Remote Computer

Scheduling Asset Scans
Hello, We're using ServiceDesk Plus in a global environment. It would be beneficial for me to be able to run automated scans for different AD OUs at different times to ensure that the systems at that site are powered up. Right now I have one scheduled scan, but that means that I have to manually scan the OUs of the sites that are not open at the scheduled time. Is there a way to add additional schedules? It would be even better if I could add one schedule per OU (or group of OUs). Thanks!
Adding Users - Old Work-around Not Working
Hi. Sorry, but I can't find the thread in which someone helped me with this previously.....didn't mean to double-up on similar threads. Anyway... when I first got going with SDP, when it came time to add users, I could not use the domain import feature, because I'm just one small department on a large campus, and didn't want all of those accounts in my SDP. So, someone here gave me a way to do it....I'd create a user account within the SDP system, and then log into SQL and run a couple commands.
Military time
Is it possible to change the display time in ServiceDesk from Military time (24 hour) to standard time (12 hour)?
Send notifications on email request ONLY
We receive most of our requests through email, but a number of them are also received as walk-in tickets or over the phone, and are hand-entered into SD+. I currently have the notification rules set to send an email whenever a new request is created. However, this means I get notifications for requests such as when our level I tech enters a ticket for routine maintenance, which I don't need to see. Is there any way to filter the notifications so I'm only notified when a request is created by
Survey E-mail
How can we set the survey so that the survey result of that particular survey goes to the Technician who have attended the call or it goes to a particular Technician all the time. Thanks
Business Rule based on time of day ?
I want to setup a rule or escalation that pages the oncall tech when a ticket is created, but only after hours. Right now there doesnt appear to be a way to evaluate based on 'creation time' is there anyway anyone can think of to do this ? Right now they page all day which gets annoying ..
SD 7.6 restore fails on Windows 2008 R2

Invisible Attachments with Exchange Sever 2007
Since upgrading to Exchange 2007, e-mails from SD+, builds 7015 & 7017, with attachments do not show the attachments from Outlook 2003 & Outlook 2007. The attachments do show up in blackberries from the same mailboxes. The attachments can be seen in Outlook if you use File, Save As, or Forward. There are documented issues in the MS Knowledgebase that are similar and our servers are patched accordingly. The only application causing us grief is SD+. E-mails with attachments from all other SMTP sources

Migrating SDP
Hi, We are switching off our old SD+ and SQL servers so we have to move the installation to new machines. What is the proper way of moving the SD+ installation to a new server, and also the SQL database from the old MSSQL 2005 server to a new MSSQL 2008?
Start New Request - Customer search question
I am using an eval version of ServiceDesk Plus. When our customers call, they provide either their location's telephone number OR customer number. When creating a new telephone request, how do I search Contacts on these two elements? It appears that you can only search on "Name." Even if I populate the "Name" with the customer number, how would I search on phone number?
How to search for customers
I am new to support desk and working with the trial version. We support retail point of sale software. When a customer calls he can provide us with customer name or the store's telephone number in order for us to bring up the customer record. Is it possible to search on more than one field when creating a new request? It seems as though there is only an ability to search on "Name".

Please advise how we can free up some disk space and avoid having these files being created every 10mins without being deleted.

Remote Control from ServiceDesk - Experience?
Hi all! Anyone with experience using the Remote Access control from ServiceDesk is welcomed to place their opinions. How does the control work over a WAN connection? How does the control work via NAT firewall for remote users over internet? We are using WebEx, and are looking for other options. So far, I can see that LAN, while not great, works well enough to get work done. Thanks!

Changing "groups" - consequences to existing tickets?
Are there any consequences or side-effects to changing groups on existing tickets? Prior to the establishment of "Sites", we built groups based on Location. Now that we have sites, we need to setup "Groups" to be of similar work requests (Desktop Systems, Telecommunications, ERP, etc). If I delete groups, and add new ones, what can I expect from existing tickets and our reports? If there are side-effects, what can I do to alleviate them? Thanks so much!

ServiceDesk Hardware Requirements
Hello, I need some information. First of all, is there any chance to install this software in a shared hosting plan. I read somewhere that it is possible if you have Telnet/SSH rights. Now, let's imagine a normal situation, where I am quite limited. Isn't there a version to upload? Not a .exe file? Or maybe install it in my computer, and upload the 200 MB, would that work? Their concern is with the security of the file, apparently. Now, imagine I COULD upload it, what hardware requirements should
Purchase Order Numbers
