date issue "M�rz"
Hello together, we have installed ServiceDesk Plus and it worked during half a year like a charm, but now it is always on 100% of cpu load. I traced the SQL-queries and could see that there was a loop. I took the query that produces the failure that caused the loop and executed it usiong an SQL-editor. The query includes the date and tries to write it into an datefield in the database. The sql-editor complains bad date-format, because of the '�' in the german "M�rz" for march. If I set the Systemdate

View Departmental Requests - BUG!
I have a number of users around the business who act as points of contact between departments and IT. As part of this role, it is important that they are able to see requests raised by others within their department and there is a checkbox on the requesters details page titled "Allow to see all requests for the department". Unfortunately, with each import from Active Directory, this becomes unchecked. There are previous posts relating to this bug and I have emailed support@servicedeskplus.com but
SDP 7 - Asset Management - Windows Domain Scan - List wrong?
Using build 7008 We have one active AD domain in use but a number of contractors on site at present using machines with other domains declared on them. SDP is detecting these and adding them to the list of Windows Domains to scan. That in turn makes them available in the sign in page of SDP as by default all domains found are flagged as Public. So at present I have round 5 domains listed but only 1 is public. The above are annoying but known features of the system. What I found yesterday was the

Can non administrators change request due by dates
Hi All, Every so often the due by date needs to be changed on a call that comes in. The helpdesk manage this process however the only way that we have found to allow them to do this is to grant full admin access to everything including the admin setup of service desk This has caused a problem in the past where one of the staff was snooping around in the admin folder and made a change, which cause problems. Is there a way to give the access to change the due date of a request however not require full

Asset request management
My department is in charge supporting hundreds of tablet computers with our software on it for our clients. We assign the asset (tablets) to clients' departments, not individual users. In the tracking software we are migrating from, we used tickets that were attached to devices (our tablets). In Service Desk we are trying to get used to attaching assets to requests, though it would be much easier for us to open up the asset first, to see the history, then open a new ticket (request) from that page.
Email & SSL?
I'm trying to configure the email interface on our test install. All of my available email options (POP & IMAP) require SSL authentication. Is there a way do tell SDP to use SSL? If not, how do people work around it?

Upg v6 to v7 - Anyone can login in now
Hi All, Just wondering if you guys can help me.... not sure if this is a bug or not, or if its always been there... although dont recall it. I work for a school, a large school... where we have more computers than students. We've been using ServiceDesk now for like a year, and when we had v6, I am pretty sure the only people who could log into it, were the ones that AD (ActiveDirectory) scan import allowed. ie: I let SDP scan our AD for all Teacher accounts/logins, leaving the student accounts unchecked

Newb here - Products / Assets - Just getting started
Hey all, The company I work for has been using ServiceDesk for a couple years now. When I say "using," I mean they've been paying for it. I would like to start using it! So I've added a product called Dell m5200. Now, when I go to add an asset, I choose m5200 as the product. It asks me for an asset name. What do you guys normally put here? Is this a good spot to put "Customer Service Printer" or similar? There's a location field also and I don't want to be redundant. I'm just looking for someone
Scanning Worksations
In our business we have about 14 offices. Each office has its own domain, on its own subnet (192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, etc.). We have vpn tunnels linking each office to HQ where ServiceDesk is hosted and have routes to each office in place in place. Each Domain is named SCA, SCABN, SCACT. etc. If add a domain to ServiceDesk thats at a remote office and scan it everything is fine, it picks up all machines that are online. Service desk uses IP addresses to perform this scan. Once these machines are
Using Spellcheck inserts extra space
7009 on MSSQL 2000 If you use the spell check option and then select the proper spelling using the built in SDP spell check, it will then automatically insert an extra space after the word you have just corrected. It's nothing major, just a minor annoyance as I then have to go and delete several spaces. Does anyone else have the same issues?
New request template
I am looking to create a new request template which will be used as a checklist to build machines. We build machines specific to our own machine build notes, step-by-step. What would be the best way to have this in the call, either a checklist within the call log description or have tasks assigned to the templates that you need to complete before the call can be closed down? An example of our documentation that we have at the moment is attached below for reference. Your thoughts on this would help
Report for trends
I am looking for a report that can pickup on various trends, say the top 10 call requests being logged, is there a report that can do this, if so could you give the mysql query for it thanks.
Feature needed in Tasks within Requests
I was experimenting with the built-in request template of, "New employee joining the organization". I noticed 4 tasks are automatically created when you use this template. Those tasks are: - Setting up email address - Entry in Active directory - Setting up user computer - Setting up user location There is a significant feature needed in this "tasking" process. Given this specific example, this is a type of request where these four tasks might be performed by different GROUPS within an IT organization.
Request Template - Auto Assign Owners to Tasks
I have created a request template. On this template there are a number of tasks attached to it. Is it possible to have all of the tasks automatically assigned to the person who the request gets assigned to? Thanks!

IE8 Beta 1: Ticket with HTML
I know that Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 just came out and it is beta, but wanted to mention this: When a ticket in ServiceDesk is in HTML (someone sends an e-mail to the program within Outlook for example), when I reply back to the person in the program, it does not translate the HTML. I am using Microsoft Windows Vista Business SP1 and ServiceDesk 7010. Andre
Having problems with a custom query report
I am trying to create a custom query report so that on a daily/weekly and monthly basis every technician and the manager get the report to see what work they have achieved on that day/week/month.

problems submitting PO
After creating a PO it is sent for approval, however when the email arrives to the intended approver the email is just a link to the Purchase order. When you follow the link it opens the PO but you cannot see any items or approve it in any way. I have looked for a way of amending the email that goes to the approver but all I could find was template for overdue PO's. I am running version 7 build 10 and becoming increasingly frustrated with the software it is not running as needed!
Mail Fetching with Lotus Notes

We use SMTP, is there anyway this software can be setup for SMTP for incoming email settings?
Removing and Adding a Technician - Administrator :(
We have 5 Technician accounts, which are 4 peoples Active Directory accounts, and then a 5th guy who is using the domain administrator account. It is "Administrator" so he does not use pass through but manually signs in when he needs to. Is it possible, to remove Administrator and change it to his actual log in name? Will this break anything if I remove him and add his personal username? I mean as long as I give him back the same roles like SDAdmin (Basically all of them anyway) he should have the

Stop Auto Domain detection ??
Ok in prior (v6) builds Domain detection only occured at startup of the application so I could remove the 15 'workgroups' it detects and not have them annoy my users. But now it seems to autodetect domains frequently while the application is running. How do I stop this ? I have only ONE domain I want users to log into, yet there are 15 workgroups floating around the ether causing mass confusion about what to log into.
