Changing requests to problems
How does one change e-mailed requests into service desk into problems??
ae_scan.vbs for Mac's (apple)
In Asset Explorer and now SDP 7.5 we are able to use the ae_scan.vbs file to scan the PC's using a login script. This file seems to simply create an XML document which is submits to a URL on the SDP server. Has anybody, or is it planned to write a similar script to collect data from the Macs and *nix computers on the network. We are currently evaluating SDP to replace a number of our tools, and the lack of Mac inventory is currently the major drawback for us. We have a 30/60% split from Macs/PC's
How to Convert Assets to Software Licenses
Is there a way to convert items entered as assets into Software Licenses? Prior to Software Licenses being an implemented feature, we had used asset categories to track software - but now we would like to convert it to the proper system to make use of the software integration. Without having to re-enter (and then delete the assets), is there a way of doing this?
Manually added server.
In case of the problem mentioned here. I had added server manually. But I can't enter resources for it: ram, hdd, cpu, os ... Why?
Simple message ability
Is there any way to send a message to another technician without it having to be in a request or via Email. For instance , a telephone message left for another technician , when that technician returns they get notified that a new message is there for them. I know it is possible to have something similar using tasks but its not quite there .
Domain Scan - workstation entry
When I am doing a domain scan, it overwrites a workstation entry if it has the same Service Tag. Is this normal, if yes, how do I deal with workstations who has the same service tags. I'm currently testing the latest build. By the way, I think the 5.0 version does not act that way.
Default asset selection
When an email arrives and is fetched by the system, it appears that the system automatically selects the user's asset if there's only one. Can this be configured somewhere? I'd like to turn that off, because many times the request has nothing to do with the asset.
2 instances of helpdesK
if i have 2 instance of helpdesk HD1 and HD2. if i have to forward a request in HD1 to HD2, then HD2 sents an acknowledgement to HD1. once HD1 receives the acknowledgement, then HD1 inturns sents acknoeledgement to HD2. each of these create new calls and it goes on. so both instances keep on acknowledging each other. how do i manage that? and i cannot remove the acknowledgement mail since we want to acknowledge the end users every time they log a call.
Safari
I use the service desk but my machine is a MAC so I use Safari instead of IE. Everytime I click on something I get a message saying that ServiceDesk is not compatable with Mozilla. I click OK but it comes up everytime I click on something. I understand that people need to know that it does not work well with Safari but this is annoying. Is there any way to disable this message? My boss also has a MAC using Safari and all I here all day is "I'm not using F*** Mozilla!!!". This is more annoying than

Attachments not included with emails
Attachments are no longer being included with emails. They are still part of the job, but are being stripped off before going to our exchange server.
worklogg
hello, I hope I dont stand out like a fool now. But we are currently evaluating SDP for use in our organization. It looks real good, but one problem that I found is that I cant seems to find any workloggs in the requests. A field that you can update the request with info on work that has been done. And then it has to be easy to overview for another technician who is reading the ticket. I have mostly worked with Remedy products and there you have a very good worklog. Is there any in SDP? If not, what

Problem in repoting
Dear Support I located there is a "term" mismatch in the report. In the "Report" Tab, When I create a "New Custom Report" Report Type = Tabular Reports Module = TimeSpent There are quite a lot of available columns for choose. where there are "Time Elapsed" and "Time Spent" I suppose the "Time Elapsed" is capture from the "Work Log" where the Technician Input the time themselves And the "Time Spent" is capture from the system generated which is (Completed Date - Created Date excluded the non-business

SDP Assests and Windows Vista
I've read several posts that indicate no issues with SDP and Vista. However, I have (3) new machines on my network that the Windows Domain Scan does not even pick up. The machines are powered on and are participating in the network and AD. All other assest scans pick up the other 185 machines on my network. The Vista machines do not show up at all - no errors, no listing, no nothing, nothing in the system error log. Is SDP officially Vista compatible?? I also tried manually adding the Vista workstation

Users "Accepting" Equipment
Hello, I'm looking for a new asset management/helpdesk system, and one of the most important requirements I have is the ability for users to somehow show that they have accepted responsibility for the equipment that they have been assigned. Does this system have some way for users to "accept" equipment that has been assigned to them?
Version upgrade & product upgrade licensing
Hi there We are running version 6 at the moment and have been advised that our license allows us to upgrade to version 7 at no charge. However I am also considering switching from Professional to Enterprise versions. We are almost exactly halfway through our Pro versionannual license subscription, so my question is; if we wanted to upgrade to Enterprise v7 would we be able to pro-rata the cost of the upgrade so that our licensing date is maintained? (That will help me get the purchase agreed this
License / Version question
Hi all, Sorry if this is answered somewhere, I had a quick search but couldn't turn anything up.. I have installed the Enterprise version trial, I'm wondering if my company ends up purchasing the professional version will I be able to migrate data from the Enterprise trial? Thought I'd ask before I did too much work setting it up. Cheers.
Email Request Details
Is there a reference for details on sending emails to the Service Desk system? I have mail fetching setup and running, I was just wondering if there are formatting details required on the incoming emails. What does it pull in to the system from the email? Just subject, body details and requestor email? Does it tie the email username to the internal Service Desk requestor login name? Thanks, waide
The numbers, they don't add up
As part of a monthly report IT puts together a report detailing how many requests we had open at the beginning of the month, how many were opened during the course of the month and how many were closed. This has all run smoothly until the guy who normally makes reports out of the graphs was off and the cover guy decided to automate a lot of the number crunching in Excel. That's when we found that the figures don't add up. A report run at the beginning of September(midnight on the 1st) which does
Allocating Licenses
Hi, For our Office Professional Licesnes we have both indivuidual licneses and Volume licenses. When these were set up we allocated the individual licenses to the machines they were installed on, then added the volume licenses to the rest of the machines. After exiting SDP and going back to our Office Licenses they are no longer in the way we left them. I.e the ones which gave individual licenses are now being marked as using the volume license key. Also, they are now being grouped together rather
[7.0.7020] Schedule Reports Problem

Asset State
Currently the asset state looses its association if not "in use". We have 7 sites, with local IT Support in place and they need to manage there spares, repairs and disposals independently. All the dept, sites and regions have been configured to ensure all sites are independent from each other. The association needs to be included for �in repair�, �in store� and �disposed� you can currently view this in �audit history� however this does not help each site identify if the asset belongs to them straight

solutions question
Is there any way to limit access to solutions in the same way as calls, e.g. so that technicians in a group can only see solutions within a specific group?
