Scanning mac systems
From what I understand, SD+ should be able to scan Macintosh systems and Linux systems, but I'm having difficulty getting that to work. It just gives an RPC error when it reaches a Mac, which isn't helpful because of course a Mac doesn't have RPC/DCOM running. I've got 2 Mac Pros and 2 Macbook Pros in our Marketing department I'd like to scan in, any assistance would be appreciated. I'm assuming I probably need to change something on the Mac to allow the scan to happen (does it scan over SSH or something
SDP+ 7.5 Feature
It would be nice to see a tech on call option in the availability chart so that users can know who to call for after hours support, and when they click on it it should give information on how to get a hold of that tech. Also, there needs to be a way that this can be auto scheduled every month so if your in a 3 week on call rotation you can see it in the calendar that way. I'm surprised this was not thought of in the initial development of 7.5.
Assets Failing Scan
I have a number of assets that could not be scanned for a number of reasons. Some of these are currently switched off, others are laptops that aren't on the network, some are for other reasons. After the domain scan has completed, I have the following information - Total IT Assets in AD : 299 � Successful Scan : 163 � Failed Scan : 136 [Troubleshoot] NOTE: To troubleshoot Scanning problem, click on the 'Troubleshoot' link near the error message.

sd+ stopped discovering (unknown workstation)
running 7.0.0 Build 7013 not sure when this happened but now whenever we attempt to scan we get an error "Unknown workstation" and fills in the workstation info with blank info so I have to delete the workstation, turn off the firewall on the workstation and scan again and then turn back on the firewall. Please, this was all working fine before with a global policy for firewall in place. this is getting so old
SD7 Closing Incidents when problem closes
This was brought up a while back if I recall. Any idea what sort of timescale we are realistically looking at to have the functionality to close open incidents when a problem is closed, or if it is even on the development map as yet. Regards, Andy

SD Survey fails to show questions
Morning, I have just setup a survey on my system, but when the survey is sent to a user, it does not show any of the questions. All it shows is a box that says "Welcome Null" and only allows the user to add comments, but when the submit button is pressed, it fails to send anyway. Have you got a fix for this please, as this is an area we are being pushed on. thanks Pete
Address formatting issue
Looking at our purchase orders I noted that the frmatting of mailing addresses for the Vendor details, Shipping Address, Billing Address are all formatted improperly. At least for the states it is. Typically it is formated in the following: Address (which includes the number and street name) City, State. Zip/postal code So an address block would look like this: 10201 N. Port Washington Rd. Mequon, WI. 53092 Currently in SDP v7019 it looks like the image attached. Anyone else ever really see this?
same items, more than 1 dept
Hi all, Since I'm new to SD+ I've alot of questions when going through the system. Basically my duty is to workout a new procurement workflow and make use of SD+. I'm wondering how would you guys handle a bulk PO, same item for different departments. Say we'd need to purchase PC, HW & software for 100 people, everybody will be allocated the same resources. How could I input under "Asset". Since the PC & HW come with different serial number, does it mean that I've to input 100 entries under "Assect"
About Remove all the request
Dear Support We are about to roll out SD Plus for production. We would like to keep the configure and setting. And clear all the testing data we previously created. Please kindly advice on the best way to remove all the request completely. (As i remember, the remove function inside SD+ is not really remove the record from the database due to some of the reason in the previous version) Thanks in advance. Clay
Allowing requesters to edit servicedesk requests?????
How do I enable my users to be able edit opened requests? Sometimes, users need to edit their requests, unfortunately the opened requests do not have a feature enabled which will allow them to edit requests. Is there an option to give them this feature or is simply opening a new request the only option they have?
Impossible to Create Comprehensive Solutions!!
WTF!!!!! Are there limitations on creating solutions that I am not aware of??? Such as it can't be more than a certain length in characters, or it can't have more than a certain number of images in them?? It seems that anything more than a few paragraphs causes problems. Has anyone else seen issues with creating solutions? Is there anything I can do to stop information/images from disappearing as I save the solution? I am very frustrated with this. I've been working on one specific solution for two

Custom report with a relative date range?
On build 7018 with MS SQL, I need to create a custom report that shows me a count per technician of all non-closed requests created during a relative time period. For example, I'd like to see non-closed requests that were created in the last 30 days; I'd like another report that shows non-closed requests created between 30 and 60 days ago; and so on. I can manually create these reports, but I have only been able to do so with static dates... for example, created date between July 9 and August 8.

New Problem With Custom Views.
Hello, Some months ago I created a number of custom view in requests. These were working fine and we have been using since go-live two weeks ago. I updated a view today to reflect a new application launched today. The addition was roughly "OR If sub-category contains Symphony". However when I saved and the selected this view I received a long list of calls and a series of messages relating to rendering, under the request view headings eg subject. I have therefore deleted the view and tried to recreate.

Can not synchronize the AD account domain.

I sometimes start ServiceDesk Web client but the IT doesn't display anything or display "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and I must shutdown the servicedesk server and start again for 2 or 3 time > working 2.

Client Ticket History Disappears
It seems that the clients ticket history is gone when they logon but I can see their tickets in the system as a technician... I searched the forums but couldn't really find anything.. Anyone know about this or has seen this?
auto close request
Ok, maybe I am missing it, but is there a way to set a rule to auto close a request after one day? I see it for problems, but not for requests. Our policy and procedures state that technicians are not allowed to "close" requests. We set them to resolved, and then expect that requesters will close them. HOWEVER, we have a bunch that sit in a resolved status becuase the staff person never closes them.
reports and date and time
hi when creating reports the time is allways listed as well is there a way to only see the date and not the time as well for request time maybe important but for things like warranty or purchase dates times are irrelevant and it is the date that is important some reports would be so much clearer without time indication many thanks

Moderated post
I posted to the forum last week regarding a potential bug, which then stated it needed a moderator to approve my post. This morning I check, and my post doesn't exist. However, someone was able to post spam and it made it to the forum. My post, not approved. Pornographic spam, approved. What gives?

Mail fetching stops when SDP sees spam on server
With build 7019: Every time SDP encounters a spam message on the server, it stops fetching with the message: An error occured while processing email with subjectOfMail : (( whatever )) messageid : < (( whatever )) >. Mail Fetching process of ServiceDesk Plus was stopped. Please delete the mail from mail server and restart mail fetching process. It has become impossible to do our mail integration because of this. What's really weird is that this suddenly started happening earlier this week. Up until

Query for finding groups with no assignee
Dumb question: SELECT SERVICE_DESK.call_req.ref_num AS RN WHERE (SERVICE_DESK.call_req.active_flag = 1) AND (SERVICE_DESK.call_req.group_id = 4554326) AND (SERVICE_DESK.call_req.assignee = '') I want to find all RNs in a group that are not assigned. This, as shown above does not work... So I tried these variations that didn't work either: SERVICE_DESK.call_req.assignee = null; SERVICE_DESK.call_req.assignee < 'a'; SERVICE_DESK.call_req.assignee LIKE ' %'

Question about ON HOLD
Dear Support Currently i am still testing the Build 7017. Is it possible to count the period of ON HOLD ? I know the Timer will stop when status is assigned to ON HOLD, and the Due date will extend the time after i change the status back to OPEN, it works fine. While we would like to count the period of the time that is ON HOLD, since during those period of time, the case it mostly forwarded to Vendor for follow up and We would like to count how long does the vendor usually take as well.
