Security Masking
With SD 7 Plus beta I have a suggestion relating to masking. While I appreciate that this is designed primarily as an internal tool, there are times wheren you want to quarantine information from one group of users vs another. For example if you have a large company with different divisions, and you have proceedures on how to access say local proxy servers or local mail servers etc (in the knowledgebase) it would be good to be able to mask or set some permissions on accessing this content so you

Scanning a seperate domain from the native one
At our facility we have two domains, we'll say A & B. Domain A contains the ServiceDeskPlus server (v6). Now I am trying to scan Domain B, and I can get service desk to connect to see all of the OU's but it fails when I try to perform the scan. From running netstat while I do the change it looks to me like service desk is trying to connect using NETBIOS names, and not the FQDN, is this the expected behaviour?
Bulk Moving users and workstations to a department
Dear all It would be of great help if you could assist me in doing the following task. Right now i am in evaluating phase of SD Plus and found it very attractive. 1. Moving the workstations or users to a particular department simultaneously..I know i could not do it using the webinterface.. I wonder if this can be done by logging into the MySQL databse.. Otherwise it is hard to move more than 1000 users one-by-one 2. If I have made a user or a workstation part of a depatment, whenever the request
New Request -- Field on right compressed
On the new request form I have a problem where a custom field is appearing in the right hand side of the "Category Details" section compressed down to about two characters in width and it is very difficult to use and read. Please see the attached screen shot. The field ("Project Number") needs to be wide enough to show 12 characters. The fields to the left of it do not need to be anywhere near as wide as they are currently appearing. Is there a fix for this or a work around I can use? The field is
Missing Wrapper.exe in SD+ 7
I think the file wrapper.exe is missing from the installer. I've installed the SD+ 7 package. But the service didn't install. I know I can run sd_service.bat -i to install the service, but when I do it telling me that Wrapper.exe does not exists. '"C:\AdventNet\ME\ServiceDesk\bin\Wrapper.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, Looking in the install logs, I don't even see it being installed. All I see is. Extracting bin\wrapper Tried to copy that and rename wrapper.exe. That didn't
Discovering Printers
Hi, Version 6 of Asset explorer used to find printers when running a Domain or Network scan, I have recently installed version 7 on a new machine but it will only discover workstations. I have also had to add my routers & switches manually but I only have a few of them whereas I have about 40 printers throughout the company. Any ideas as to why this is? Kind Regards Neil

AutoPopulate Workstation field during self request
I can't see if this has been asked before, but is there a way that you can have the workstation name be pulled from the computer variable when someone is putting in a request? IE, if a user goes to the self service portion and starts to enter a request, rather than pulling down all the workstations in the company, it keys off of %computername% or something and auto-populates that into the workstation field? That would be really cool if it is even possible.
workstation contract tracking & budget
Is there currently a feature or trick to track workstation as an asset so that we can track all the contract expiration dates and costs to it as well. Most IT departments purchase desktop/workstations and often times purchase maintenance contracts with each system new. We would like to be able report all workstations going out of maintenance and plan for a refresh. Also if there will be an option track maintenance cost for contracts by a specific time period (for example yearly, quarterly, monthly)?
Software deleted from workstation in Service Desk
Hi, On our network we found a computer with software installed that was against our policy. We asked the user to uninstall it. When we did a rescan of the computer, the entire software list for that workstation was deleted from Service Desk. We scanned the workstation several times, and it still says the workstation has no software on it. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

Notification e-mails
Hi, In version 7 Beta when you create incidents and services you can let send notification to the requester. These rules are not adjustable, is it somehow possible in future that we self can do adjustments? Here example what our company is doing; Request of service � Requester creates Service requests � Manager department gets mail to approve this request. � When requests is approved the department who can do this request takes it up. � If Manager not approves the request the requester gets mail

SMS
Support: Is the way SMS sent in ServiceDesk Plus different from the way SMS is sent by OpManager? I noticed that you don't have in the admin tab a way to configure the SMS server. Does this mean you don't need a GSM Modem? Mon Aguilar
error when configuring mail server: incoming email
Hi folks, I'm setting up a relatively new installation of ServiceDesk+ 6, build 6011 (already had data in the system or I would have went with version 7). Anyhow I'm trying to setup the mail server settings for incoming mail. outgoing mail works fine. Our email server is Exchange 2003, I setup the incoming settings for imap, with an account created just for service desk, and previously initialized via an outlook session (so I know the credentials are valid and the email works outside the system).

ServiceDesk crashes everyday at the same time.
Hi, I'm having a strange problem with ServiceDesk, and I've been having it since build 6003. ServiceDesk (once a day) will unexpectedly shutdown and I'm unable to restart it. They only way to bring it back up is to restart the server, which I would like to avoid. I'm currently using build 6008 and I'm hesitate to upgrade, unless it clearly stated on the build description that it will fix unexpected shutdown of ServiceDesk. Listed below, are Windows 2003 Event Log error regarding my issue: Source:

Will the network scan work for scanning windows vista computers? Or is this av feature that is being worked on as we speak? If it's not working already, when can we expect it to be working?
ROLES
I am happy for an SDGuest to be used for all requesters, but a requester must be able to research and ask for an asset to be bought - i.e. a PO. So when I went to ROLES and looked at SDGUEST I tried to add PURCHASE to this and of course it is set to READ Only, I can understand why it can't be deleted, but we woudl have to ask the Requester to submit a request, then a technician would have to translate the request into a PO. When infact the User raises the PO for approval by the technician. In a society
Tracking conversations
Hi, Is it possible to set SD+ to automatically track email replies from customers to a request into the conversations part of the request within the ticket? - in a similar fashion to the way in which it tracks any emails sent from within the request ticket. Also I do not really want people to be able to raise a request automatically by email, is there a way in which this can be stopped without affecting the other incoming emails? For Information; I have attempted to do this by enabling the mail fetching

Technician ID's
We have had a turnover of several technicians in the system. We will delete the old one and add the new one. I just noticed after adding the latest technician that he now has closed requests assigned to him even before he was employed by our company. My question to you is what piece of information are you storing in a request's main record to tie it back to the technician record. What ever it is, it appears that you are reusing this id for new technicians as they are created. This is bad for us.
