Within our organization requests go into the ServiceDesk in a variety of methods.
1. Direct e-mail to our helpdesk account.
2. Using SD form, after logging into AD account.
3. Voice mail that is redirected to our helpdesk e-mail account.
4. Simple form on our intranet that requires users to put in first/last name e-mail (if available), title, and detail.
We have the variety of methods, because most people do not have their own active directory account and outlook e-mail. Within our organization most people use a generic AD account which only allows them into a hand full of systems with their own built-in security. I've been in several organizations that have the same processes, but I am not sure if other SDP people have the same issue.
The issue is that we can end up with two to ten accounts for the same person. I would like to be able to point accounts x, y, and z automatically to user a for all requests and assets. User a would come from our Active Directory import and we could have reports that having complete information on it. Also, people would receive their notifications.
Thanks,
Patrick
