Renaming Workstations by Script (SDP 7 Ent.)
Due to the DNS suffix bug (raised with ServiceDeskSupport [Request ID :##6005320##] : DNS Suffix) I have a LARGE number of PC's displaying the wrong DNS suffix. I need a script that will update the database (currently using MYSQL but can upgrade to MSSQL) and modify every wrong entry to the correct one for me. There is no way I am editing over 600 workstations 1 by 1! I also have a number of duplicate Workstation names, again a script must be the way to go... Thank you for your time to the people
Solutions section
Is there a way to hide solutions so that only Technicians can view them? I want to put some IT proccess and procedures within the Solutions section; but of course don't want employees to see them. I logged on as guest and can see the parent and the topics below that, which I don't want a requestor to be able to see.

SDP Asset license maxed out
I have a 10 tech 450 node license to SD Plus 7 Professional. Running SDP v 7009. My current asset count is showing as 443 despite only 263 being categorised as IT assets. I was told that asset licensing is on a per node basis, and a node is defined as being an asset with an IP address when we purchased SDP. Please advise what the issue is and how it can be resolved as this is preventing us from using SDP to manage our environment as we want. Thanks Tim

Database wiped after running changedbserver.bat?
Hi guys, Huge problem here! I'll try to explain.. I was having trouble configuring mail server properties in SDP7.0, so i decided trying to restart the SDP service on my server. Closing the service went ok. When i ran run.bat i got the message that the account i was using to connect to the database has a expired password - i then went to the SQL server and reset the password on the specific account. Went back to the SDP server and ran changedbserver.bat in order to see if i could connect to the database

Global View and Asset tabs for non-admins
So far as I can see the Global View and Asset tabs on the Home screen are tied to the admin role, but these are very useful views for, say, IT management to be able to keep an eye on the overall situation. It would be handy to have these tied to some other permission.
Technicians able to send/submit emails on behalf of requesters
The ability for a technician (ONLY) to send in an email on behalf of a requester (so that the request doesn't appear as coming from the sender/technician). This is useful if a technician is out of the office/on site; the email could have as the first line: REQ: Fred Bloggs, SUBJECT: Network down, PRIORITY: High Then the details can go into the body of the email. It would also be good to be able to update cases using maybe a CASE NUMBER variable in the first line?
Vista migration
First of all im sorry if this subject was already posted before but i couldnt find any info about it. I haven't been able to scan the computers, im using SD v7.002 that have Windows Vista installed. It always give the following error message: �Either access denied for the user or the remote DCOM option might be disabled in the workstation.� Ive tryed to use the troubleshooting for Windows XP and for Windows 2000 but the outcome remains the same error message. If some could give some advices.

Scanned software report
I'm using ServiceDesk Plus build 6014 I am regularly auditing all my workstations for software. Now I want a report that tells me the number of copies of "Office" installed on my network but am having a difficult time finding that report. Under "Asset" reports, I see there is an "Assets by Product" report and I filtered that report to show only the "Office Professional 2003"'s on my network, but I know there are some "Office 97"'s out there and I do not have Office 97 in my list of products because

Till now I wanted to use like time used for a technician to solve a request. (total time worked on that specific task). This is good if I want to compare with some benchmark for an IT activity (By the way you know a site with such kind of benchmarks? - I search over the net but not found - I'm interested to know how my people are comparing with other) But if
Ignored e-mails should not re-open requests
Currently the system can ignore certain e-mails, like Out of Office, for the purposes of notification. However, these e-mails will still re-open a resolved call. Resolved calls should ignore the same things as notifications.
Closing task can crash IE
Running SDP 7 build 7009 Sometimes when I click the close button, IE will crash when SDP tries to open the 'Close Accepted' dialogue box. This has only happened since upgrading to build 7009 Does anyone else have the same issues, or know how to solve it?
How to associate DEPARTMETNS with multiple SITES
Would it be possible to associate a department with multiple sites? For instance our facilities, risk and network security departments are located in our operations center as well as our main office. When we need to do maintenance on core switches and routers, it would be helpful to have automatic notifications based on associations. Thank you. -Eric.
Help needed w/ request ===> chnage process
I need some help with the request ==> change process. The way we want the service desk to function is that all requests come in via email and the Level I team determines which group to assign. If the request is a change, they can use the new change drop down which will create a new change. So far so good. The issue is that once the change is created, there is a link to the request in the change, but no link to the change visible in the request. So when the requester calls the desk and provides the
purchase request question
Hi, Im in the middle of setting up SDP 7 and i have come to the Purchasing part. The way i would like to do it is for every user to be able to make a request on their own. Preferebly even them selves chosing who to aprove the request from a drop down list. It seems though as if this cannot be done. a regular user dont even have the choice of creating a new request. Who is the purchasing part intended for and how are we supposed to use it? it does not make sense to me if the user emails the service

Changing Assets? How ?
We have a domain and it has been scanned into ServiceDesk as Workstations for each box. They are in there as an IT Asset. Now, there are something like 38 machines on our domain that are not IT Asset's, they belong to another organisation who just log onto our domain. Is there a way we can change the PC's to be Non - IT Asset's? We don't manage them and would like an accurate guage when asset reporting

Solution ordering
An option to change solution ordering from its weird, tabulated left-to-right ordering, to a top-to-bottom folder order in line with the way Windows handles it. This would make more sense given the column spacing.
Custom view not filtering correctly
I created a new custom view called "My Requests And Unassigned" designed to show all jobs which are assigned to myself or unassigned and which are either Open or Onhold. To this end I setup the following rules: Technician IS "My name" or "None" AND Request Status IS NOT "Closed" or "Resolved" or "None" However, this view fails to display: * Unassigned calls - Probably because they're not assigned to None, they're assigned to Unassigned. Unassigned only exists when displaying technicians belonging

Incoming Mail Setup
Hi All, My understanding of the incoming mail option is to setup a mailbox for creating tickets, responding to tickets etc, basically servicedesk checks this mailbox and updates tickets. I setup a user and mailbox called service@ourdomain.com, but when I enable the incoming mail setting it pulls in a bunch of mail from my boss and my email and creates tickets, why is it doing this? Shouldn't it only check the mailbox/email address I specified? Thanks, Greg
Reports no longer function after servicepack update
Reports no longer function after servicepack update to build 6015. We were running build 6014 and running the ServiceDesk database on a backend database server "SQL 2005" and having no issues. Since we applied the servicepack to build 6015 or reports are completely blank with no data. ServiceDesk Support: Should we remove the update? or do you guy's have a fix? Please let us know soon.

Secondary ordering
Currently I can arrange my calls either by assignment or due by, but ideally I would want to do both, firstly arranging them into assigned to me and not assigned at all, then have those further arranged by the due by date. However, so far as I can see SD+ doesn't remember the last order it used, it only runs the primary sort.
Improved "Due by" ordering
Currently if you order by Due By, with the ones due soonest nearest the top, then you get all the calls with no due by date above them. While this is logical owing to the nature of the ordering, it isn't very helpful, in the same way you don't order numbers 10, 1, 2, etc. It would be nice if the system was smarter in its ordering, with no due date treated as the latest possible rather than the earliest.
Departments within Requester Information

Notification Rules
Hi, Is there are way to get an email sent to a technician when a task is assigned to them by another technician, rather than the way the "Alert the following Technicians by Email when a new request is created" works which is to email everytime a task is picked up or assigned. Thanks, Barry
