Version 7 bugs
Some of these may be new, and some may be still around from previous versions but have not been addressed yet. All of these symptoms are appearing on a clean install of v7.0 on Windows XP while using the latest version of Firefox. [list=1:15b25b84eb] * When adding items to a subcategory, only the first 10 are visible in the configuration wizard. When you bring up the tree view, you can see all the ones you've added, but it does not make them visible to delete or edit them. This could potentially
SD+ 7 Crashes While Importing from AD
We are testing 7.0 on an extra VM we have, and while importing new Requesters from AD, SD+ crashes and fails to respond. I have to remote desktop into the VM, and restart it for SD+ to come back. Any idea what could be wrong?

SDP 7.0 Enterprise - Vista , No login, blank screen
Have tested this on our two Vista Ultimate Machines, when you goto "http://servername:8080" you just get a blank page, no error. On Windows 2003 Servers and Windows XP clients with IE 7.0 it logs in fine (Love the pass-through authentication). Only occurs in version 7.0, 6.5 is fine.
Active Directory Technician logins
Glad to see Active Directory integration in ServiceDesk Plus. However, I am confused regarding Technicians. It is unclear how to create technicians from users imported from Active Directory. Do I still have to manually create logins for Technicians or can I turn Requesters into Technicians? Also, is there an easy way to convert current Technicians with all their calls and ToDo lists into AD logins?
Technicians from AD
Is there a way to add Technicians that uses AD information (like the requester method)? thanks.
Email Request Feature
I installed ServiceDesk Plus 2 days ago. I setup the incoming & outgoing mail server settings and emails are going out to the technicians as they are supposed to based on the notification settings. The one thing that is not working for me is the email to servicedesk mail box and the conversion of email into a request. The mail fetching status is Running. Anyone have any thoughts why the emails are not getting converted into requests. PS Great product. Once I have this working my boss has blessed

Is there a 'Requester Help Manual' or some such that can be provided to the end user/requester so that they can be shown how to open requests, etc?
Prevent users from creating a login at Self Service Portal
We use SD+ 6 and, when we have established that only some type of requesters will have a login at Self Service Portal. To accomplish this we don't fill the correponding fields at the requester profile. Later we find out that, if we send a mail to that user he may enter the portal and create the requester account. How is it possible? How can I prevent this from happening? Thanks
Notification Emails
When a notification email is sent to the technician that a new task has been created, the link on the email is different from what is in the notification rules. It should be "http://ServerName/$RequestLink" but instead it is http://HelpDesk/$RequestLink. How do I go about fixing this?
Approval Notification dont respect line break
We use plain text messages and our approval notification template is something like this: ------------- BEGIN ------------------ Foi registado um pedido que necessita da sua aprova��o para que o mesmo tenha seguimento. Os detalhes do pedido podem ser consultados em: $ApprovalLink Atentamente, $Technician Servi�o de apoio ao cliente -------------- END --------------------- But the notification is sent like this: ------------- BEGIN ------------------ Foi registado um pedido que necessita da sa aprova��o
Requests are being created twice
Hi, Every time I create a job in SD+, it creates it twice, assigns different IDs to it, and (I think) therefore emails the Requester twice. I'm a Technician with full access, and we're using Build 6005. Is there a resolution to this? Cheers, Peter

Merged case numbers
We had a client chasing up on a job this morning and when I searched for the job ref it couldn't be found. It turned out to that the job had been merged with an earlier one. Would it be possible to still be able to search for the job based on its original case number? Even if it pointed us to the merged job. Thanks

ServiceDesk Plus Change request unavailable
Hi, I have downloaded demo version of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus 7.0.0. This tool is installed on Win XP and my browser is IE 7. I tried to create a Change request, but blank screen is displayed and there is a message in status bar: "handle Response called http://acer:8080/framework/html/blank.html". However, http://acer:8080/Changes.cc should be called. I am using administrator login, but this issue is not related to user. The same issue is occurring for all users with privileges for Changes.
Problems with Incoming mail appendage to conversations
Hi, I am encountering problems with some incoming mail being appended to conversations within a request. I have successfully enabled the incoming mail function and been able to integrate some replies from requesters into the appropriate request conversations automatically, however from some requesters (notably users from our corporate addresses!) SD+ fails to recognize that there is a request associated with the reply and proceeds to open a new request based on the email. My question is how does
Add a link to remote control a workstation.
This was tested with RealVNC and will probably work with other VNC programs that are web accessible. I set this up on SD Build 6003 using MS SQL 2005. Here's what you do: Create a fresh backup, just to be safe. --> Go to Admin --> Workstation - Additional Fields --> Create a new TEXT field. --> Label:VNC --> Type:Single-line --> Save Go to "Inventory" and select a workstation to view details. --> Edit Workstation In the new "VNC" field, paste this html syntax: <A href="http://WorkstationName:port#"

Saving a Request to PDF, HTML etc
I noticed in many locations info can be saved to many different file formats instead of printing. This would be great for a Request. I can print but I need to save a PDF for e-mailing. Sometimes requests need to be passed along to ppl who cannot access SDP. Is there a simple way to save the complete request (as it is printed) to PDF. Cheers Mark

Big Brother
Is there a way to get BCC-ed on all incoming and outgoing Service Desk emails\Notifications? I could look through reports to keep an eye on the status of things but it would be much easier if I could just get emailed when a request is created/sent for approval or closed. I'd say there needs to be a Manager Role added but I'll save that for my 6 Month Feature request post.
Where are the new manuals for Version 7.0

Indentifying users in a workstation Scan?

Backup / Restore
Having a run at rhe new version. Played with 6.0 a little but was waiting for release of 7.0 Now that everything is running fine (so far) the questions begin. Of course my first item is backing up since this is more important in my books. I see there is a method to backup the database etc but I was unable to find any automated restore methods. Also, does the backup allow you to move to another server then restore at the new location and continue as if nothing changed. Cheers Mark

Is there an incomming mail cache?
Is there a place where incomming mail is stored that I can clean up? I originally setup my incomming and outgoing mail on an account that had an auto responder, now I find myself recieving a lot of trash every time the fetch takes place. I have since turned off everything in the notification rules but they continue to come in and the content of the mail is from that account I originally used. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
