Service Not Accessable From WAN
I can access the server's address when I'm on the same local network, but cannot bring up the login page when I'm off the local network. I've tried a telnet session to port8080 and it times out. There are NO firewalls, etc in place. Some time ago I had ran another service on that port (that has since been moved to another port) and it ran fine.

Error when removing old domain
We recently moved our network to a new domain name and when trying to delete the old domain from the Windows Domain Scan page we get this error: FAILURE :Error occurred while deleting Domain. Please report the problem to the system administrator, with the Error Code - 1,191,450,836,029 Is there any way to fix this and remove the domain or is it not possible because of database references still having the old domain name? As a quick fix I just unchecked the Public Domain checkbox so it doesn't show
Custom Notification Rules
Hi, We would like to configure separate Notification Rules for internal users and external customers. Currently we block email notifications to customers because they contain information about the self service desk and other information we think would confuse external customers. Our internal users have access to the self service portal, where as external customers do not (for lots of service desk limitation reason). Can you advise how we can configure the different notifications so we can achieve

Licensing SQL for use with ServiceDesk Plus
Being a bit of a dunce when it comes to licensing, and find myself lost in the world of licensing models, I'm hoping someone can clarify how licensing in SQL would work in regards to ServiceDesk Plus. Assume 2005. Because this is a web based system and is accessing SQL itself, is only a single device license required, or two assuming a separate system to run the web interface?

Need help with a query for a report
I want to run a report that shows the requests completed by a particular group of technicans in the last 60 days. I ran this report that shows requests completed by this group in the last quarter, and the query looks like this: SELECT ti.FIRST_NAME 'Technician',wo.WORKORDERID 'Request ID',wo.COMPLETEDTIME 'Completed Time',wo.TITLE 'Subject',wo.DESCRIPTION 'Description' FROM WorkOrder_Threaded wot INNER JOIN WorkOrder wo ON wot.WORKORDERID=wo.WORKORDERID LEFT JOIN WorkOrder_Queue woq ON wo.WORKORDERID=woq.WORKORDERID
Garbled Config Files Corrupting Server Installation
:x I tried changing the port number on which the service listens on and now the program server will not start again. This is getting really old. If I edit or make any changes to the config files with ANY editor (even if just saving the file in notepad) the program breaks. The most of the config files are so garbled I think that when one of the editors saved the file (making the file legible), the program can no longer read it. See attachment... If I open this file in WORDpad the formatting is ok.
asset history change request details ?
Just playing with the version 7 demo site. I created a change request with a task to apply a change to a router, a device that was listed in the asset database. closed the task, then the change. I then went to the history tab of the router under assets and there is no mention of the change request or the task number associated to that change request ? I would have thought this would be expected as part of the ITIL offering ? Thanks Michael.

Network Scan - Set Alternative Login details
As well as the main AD environment there are other networks in the DMZ's and some servers that exist on the main network that are not part of AD Domain. Is it possible to assign specific username and password for a given server to allow the network scan to obtain the same level of detail that a standard AD Scan will obtain. Obviously will need to be able so set this for each server seperately by exception to manage these. Kind Regards, Andy

Accessing Servicedesk Plus without requiring 8080
I would like to be able to access the servicedesk interface by simply entering http://servername without requiring the 8080. I believe I can change this in Apache using some kind of redirection, but how would I do this specifically with the Apache bundled with Servicedesk? I understand that a port is required but there is a way of automatically redirecting requests to the URL to port 8080 automatically. Thanks for your time.

For 1 domain of 3 AD imports, all recs are Failed Records
I will be importing from 3 Active Directory domains. The first 2 import perfectly. The 3rd one gives the full count of records as "Failed Records". I am indeed able to browse the 3rd's containers and select the one I need. Seeing a forum entry about this from 2006, I reduced my Domain Controller from x.y.org to x, but I had to add x to my lmhosts file in order to ping that hostname. The username password pair is obviously working, as is having selected the proper domain name controller, or I would
Inventory Management
Hi, When adding multiple products of the same product type and product name. It doesn't automatically calculate the total. Instead we are forced the save the product with a different product name, hence we now left with multiple lines and names for the exact same product Basically only one item can be added into the inventory and we cannot add another of the same type and name unless we save it under a different product name. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Hishaam01

Category Sort Order, New Requests as Technicians
When creating a new request, why are Technicians not able to be selected from the requesters box? If an email is sent from a technician or if you enter the technicians name manually it will accept it, which can be a pain. Also can the Category listings be able to be sorted either alphabetically or by defined list? ALl the other drop down fields seems to sort alphabetically, but not the Category one.

Active Directory Integration Questions
Hi All, A few quick questions about Active Directory integration with Service Desk Plus: 1) Is it strictly necessary to import the AD users into into the Service Desk Plus requesters database, or can Service Desk Plus automatically create a requester for the AD user upon their first logon to Service Desk Plus? 2) If we run a scheduled import of AD users into Service Desk Plus, does this delete/refresh the existing requesters database and thus lose any custom properties assigned to the requesters
Ability for technicians to use Global View
Could it be set up so we can allow technicians to view the Global View tab that currently only administrators can see? The technicians tend to look into other people�s tickets to assist and to be more proactive, and the global view would be extremely helpful. But we do not want to give all the technicians full administrator access. Andre
Can system notify techs on request edit?
We use and rely on the email notification feature. However, we do not see an obvious way to enable an email notification (to a tech) when a request is changed in some way (description, assigned to, priority, etc modified). Is this possible? An example situation is: Tech John is assigned request for a remote location. System emails John this assignment. However, Tech Tom is at remote location for other issue, and picks up John's request and finishes it. Currently, John is never notified the request
