Add search reports for Incident, Change and Problem tickets
Taylor_907 | 12 Aug 2011 | 2 comments

After digging through the console for a while I realized that there was no out of the box way to search for a ticket unless you knew the case number.  In the old Altiris HelpDesk 6.5 days you could bring up the Find Incident page and search to your hearts content, but no more.  To combat this obvious issue I've built three reports that allow you to search by Process ID, Display Name, Primary Contact (email address), Case Description, Categories, Priority or Case creation date.  I hope these can help save someone some time and energy in their implementation.  I believe I've attached the reports correctly, if not please send me an IM.

Happy SysAdminDay!

Happy SysAdminDay!

I'm kicking myself for nearly letting this one sneak by without my notice! But how can I let the day pass without giving a shout out to all the Connect members to toil away and don't get nearly enough recognition?!

This day isn't as widely known as International Talk Like a Pirate Day but it's still a day that's dear to my heart because it's one day out of the year that recognizes YOU! Without you, I wouldn't have a job, so keep up the good work!

Go ahead, take tomorrow off!

ServiceDesk 7: Solving "Thread was being aborted" error in email monitor project
bold | 28 Jun 2011 | 2 comments

Sometimes incoming emails are not processed correctly by ServiceDesk 7 and error messages stating: "Thread was being aborted" appears in sd 7 logs.

Cause: By default email monitor project when deployed to iis works 90 seconds and then terminates.

Solution: You should increase the timeout of the Email monitor webservice. In order to do that in email monitor project go to "Resources" tab and find web.config file. Open it for edit and add the string: httpRuntime executionTimeout="number of seconds" and then deploy the project. We increased the timeout up to 100 minutes so our string looked like: httpRuntime executionTimeout="6000". After that the error disappeared.

Process Orchestration – The Key to Improving Security Response
Sean Yarger | 08 Jun 2011 | 0 comments

 

Let’s pretend for a moment that you’re on a business trip. You hear the boarding call for your flight and reach down to grab you laptop – only your laptop isn’t there. Whether it was left at security or snagged by another traveler in the terminal, your laptop is gone and your company data is at risk.

 

So what do you do? Typically you’ll need to make a call to the office, notifying your IT department of the incident. This call will initiate a chain reaction of events set into place to ensure measures are taken to secure the files and equip you with a new device to keep business running as usual. This process typically involves a series of forms, approvals, signatures, etc.

 

While it may sound simple, enforcing processes with effectiveness is one of hardest things for companies to do. With multiple people involved and steps required, any number of things can go wrong, slowing down the process –...

The WorkflowSWAT Group is Getting a Facelift!
ohzone | 31 May 2011 | 0 comments

The WorkflowSWAT group on Connect is getting a face lift! Perhaps you've noticed that some of the helpful links haven't been too helpful recently. We've noticed too, so we've gotten out the tape measure and chalk and making renovations.

First and most noticable is the name - it will now be known as Symantec Workflow. This won't affect your bookmarks at all - the url hasn't changed

You know the WorkflowSWAT site, we're linking up and soon will be providing blogs and and links to videos, downloads, training info - things you ask for every day, and the Connect forums to ask questions of the Workflow experts.

Are you part of the group yet? If not join now...
