Request Link not hyperlink
Hi. When I select the item "$RequestLink" when building my automated response to requesters, it does indeed include the text of the link in the e-mail message, but it is not a hyperlink (even though this is using rich text; not plain text). Is there any way to force it to create it as a hyperlink? Thanks. steven
Preventive Tasks not working
We upgraded our SD about 6/7 weeks ago and everything seemed fine, until now. We have lost all of our PM being generated automatically. We had this problem some time ago and the only way we could resolve the problem ourselves was to re-create all the PM's. I have tested this theory again and just created a test PM. It worked. all the old PM's don't work tough/ Can you help me and I don't want to have to re-create these PM's again. Version 7018.

Mail fetching - cannot access using RPC or Web Mail
The company is using a web mail application which requires the use of a URL or IP address. The web mail respond with a login and password. How can I adapt this type of login to THD. I can manually login using this method. Is there a script Advent can write to interface with web mail access. The use of POP or IMAP is not a secured method of communications with the exchange server. The ports will never be opened. What alternatives can you offer to implement the mail fetch feature? We cannot forward
Mail fetching settings
Other than the Configuration Wizard how can I change the mail server settings used for mail fetching? Is there a location to set mail fetching to 'Stopped' without using the Configuration Wizard? I looked for a configuration file or database table to modify but I cannot locate where the current settings reside to modify them. We are running MSSQL on a separate database server and I want to be able to change the mail fetching settings in our test environment when using a copy of our production database.

Password Problems
I downloaded ServiceDesk Plus for myself only to use on my local machine to keep track of the help I give in my organization. I had not had to log in since the beginning because it held my user name and password...until the other day. I don't know why, but it was asking me to log in the other day and of course, I don't remember what I changed the password to. I know I changed the user name and the password, but I have forgotten what it is because I never had to use it. Can anyone give me any suggestions

SDP 7.0.0 build 7020 open issues
The following list of issues are open with SDP 7.0.0 build 7020. Some of these issues I have been reporting since build 7009. ALL PREVIOUSLY REPORTED: 1.) When a request is submitted via e-mail and the requester is subsequently changed, assets may not be changed using the pop-up screen view, only the drop down list view will work. 2.) There is no way to delete an asset connection relationship other than replacing it. This greatly limits the usefulness of this feature. For example, a relationship

SD Asset Management Questions
1. How do I make the IP field unique and properly masked in the asset area? If an asset is added it should follow octet standards and not be a plain text field. You can 192.168.FFF.ABC and it will accept it. 2. How do we generate a report on workstations and their IP addresses? No current tags exist for IP. 3. I want to add a Server product type and cannot get it to have the same fields (OS, network, etc.) as the workstation type. Where did I go wrong? Thank you, Joe
