Technician accounts existing after fresh install?
Greetings. I downloaded and installed the free version of Service Desk Plus but was surprised to find data already entered in there. There were like 5 engineers/technicians already created although this was a fresh install. Is this something I should expect or is there a problem with the install (compromised)? Thanks for your help. :D

Asset Type Change
I am evaluating SDP Ent. 7500. I have created item of DVD to purchase and mistakenly had it as workstation type. I completed the purchase, received the item, and it shows in Assets->Workstations. I do not see a way to change the Asset type to anything except Server. So I created a new Asset Type called Media, and then modified the Product of DVD to be of Media type. It now shows the purchased items in the Asset type of Media, but is also duplicated in the Workstations Asset Type list. I see by the

ServiceDesk Plus with IE7 (+chrome + safari) on Vista
Hi there, I've got a problem with ServiceDesk on Vista (both 64 bit and 32 bit). We're starting to deploy Vista and basically Vista users running any browser other than Mozilla Firefox can't get into service desk. Blank page - view source comes up with nothing. The weird thing is, that I believe I may have managed to get into Service Desk *once* with the Vista + IE7 (or chrome or safari) combination, but not more than once. I'm currently running build 7500.

All technicians are normal users after upgrading 70018->2
All 12 of our technicians become normal users after upgrading to 70022 and we have no way of changing them without deleting there accounts and upgrading normal users to technicians and re addressing all the calls. The is a domain field added to the technicians area some of the tech have a domain and the others don't there doesn't seem to be anyway to alter the technicians login capabilities. Anyone any idea's i'd like to be able to move to 7.5 but this is crazy.

ServiceDesk slow or timing out
We're running ServiceDesk 7010 and for the past couple of weeks we've noticed a big decrease in response time. When navigating between tickets, the speed is just fine. But when editing a ticket, closing tickets, or re-assigning them, the process either takes a huge amount of time or it just times out, and we'll get an error such as "Assigning technician to Request(s) failed" Its running on Windows Server 2003 SP2. I tried uninstalling our anti-virus but it made no real difference. Any ideas or suggestions

Hi We are trying to measure how succinctly our technicians are responding to user support requests.

Could anybody tell me the necessary code to generate a report for the previous week that would give me the maximum, minimum and average number of user responses required? We use MySQL. Any help gratefully received. Thanks

Create change based on an incident with enclosed files
Dear, We are trying to create a change based on an incident which includes attached files (a lot of files). The description of the change automatically takes the description of the incident but not attached files. So we need after that to add files manually and that is very inconvenient. Could you please fix that? We use 7.0.0 Build 7020 (MSSQL) Regards, Vlad
Enclosed files for CAM member
Dear, After the planning stage the attachments were added to the next sections: Impact Analysis , Rollout Plan , Backout Plan etc. Further the recommendation letters were sent to CAM members. The problem is that the CAB member can see only the text but open/view file contents. This leads to impossibility to make an analyze on the Change. The attached files looks like icons. The screenshot was added. My Regards, Vladyslav
Can't correctly close incidents
Dear, From time to time our users are not able to close incidents using links from the notification mail about resolved incidents. I investigated this problem and noticed that there are two links present in our template. First one we use for the part in domestic language and second one for the part in English. The issue is that SD generates two different KEYs within the mail and actual could be only last one key. https://service.ad.upc.intranet:443/workorder/CloseWorkOrder.jsp?woID=593&KEY=1228739104232

Merging assets???
Running SDP version 7022. I have an asset that was added by a domain scan. I then had a tech mark the PO that the asset was purchased on as recieved. What did this do? It created two entries for the same asset in the Inventory. The first entry, the scan added asset, has all the hardware/software info of this asset. The PO added entry has no info about it except that it is associated to the PO. This asset is a laptop that is no longer on my network, nor can I scan it again. so the option to delete
Preventative Maintenance tasks not following schedule
I have approximately 100 PM tasks created. The weekly ones work fine, but any tasks that I have scheduled for 'Monthly' pop up -EVERY- month on the 1st, even if I didn't choose that month.

Email attachment
A requester has lotus mail account. When a technician replies to a request sent by this requester with an attachment, the requester can't see the attachment via lotus. However, when the technician changes the setting to plain text instead of HTML, the requester can see the attachment. The requester can see the attachment if he logs into service desk. Sending attachment from service desk to Gmail has no problem. Thanks.
Active Directory Pass-Through Authentication Build 7503
This morning I attempted to enable the Active Directory Pass-Through Authentication (SSO) within ServiceDesk Plus Build 7503 after having upgraded to 7503 last night. After enabling this option, logging out of the web interface, closing Internet Explorer and reopening Internet Explorer and going to the web site for SDP, the site never comes up. It sits waiting to load for an extended period of time. Eventually it times out and comes up with a blank screen. What needs to be done to correct this issue?

Purchase 'request' and purchase orders ...
Hello. I am currently evaluating SD+ and I like it very much. Thus, I am still having a question regarding the purchase process. Is there a way to create purchase requests (as I encountered in another service desk solution)? By creating purchase request, it would be possible to assign each purchase request to a cost center. Then, after having several requests, I would like to create a purchase order, by selecting/gathering existing requests with material from the same vendor. This would allow me

Templates Feature does not work
On previous versions, I could open any existing Work order and based upon the type of request, i would apply a template. The only thing we can apply a template to now is by creating a new work order from the templates. Most of our templated tasks had various tasks and delegation to the tasks. Now we have to recreate the work order entirely for any system generated work order (emailed or user created) . Once a template is assigned, it can not be edited by using another template. Is this a normal feature
