Hi, Where I'm working £3000 is seeming expensive for a core system such as our Helpdesk. But we'll happily pay 6 grand for a photocopier....

Helpdesks you use in work
by Barry Toner 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

Hi folks, We've been looking at various Helpdesk solutions , with varying degrees of accessibility. Up until (if I'm honest), yesterday we've not had any even rough requirements. I was wondering what you are currently using in your work places to log Helpdesk and Service requests? I've looked at Zendesk, (very flash orientated), Sysaid (flash), Freshdesk (HTML but limited functionality, not so much an IT helpdesk as a Servicedesk), Oxygen, and a few others. Things we'd like the Help/Service Deskt o have are as follows, 1. Integration with Active Directory. If it links directly without having to import/export this would be brilliant. 2. Users can change their Active Directory passwords. 3. Various reporting functions for Managers. 4. SLA integration 5. Dispatcher rules, (though this isnt' critical) 6. Knowledge base both for users and technicians. 7. Canned responses 8. Ability to enforce users submit tickets via the web portal, instead of email 9. Customisable categories of requests, that can expand into sub-categories. EG. Software links to Microsoft, links to Office, links to outlook. 10. Re-branding to fit with company design. 11. Ideally can be tested in the cloud but hosted in-house. If not ideally UK based data centres. We're really up against time and I'll owe you all a pint if you can give me some pointers of what you're using and if it meets any or all of the above requirements. Thanks, Barry.

There are no specific permissions for this. If the account has the ability to manage the user, they can reset the password and affect the check box to force the user to change the password once reset. Hopefully, I didn't muddy the waters any more. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Barry Toner Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 8:49 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] ActiveDirectory Permissionsto unlock/reset/prompt user I have yup. All that's there is what I said. Baring in mind I didn't' configure this AD nor set the permission on the technicians account, which happens to be mine.

No here it's not. The only thing I see in AD's Account tab for any user is, User logon name, User logon name (pre-Windows 2000):, Logon Hours..., Log On To... And if their account is locked the unlock account checkbox becomes enabled. Reset password is appearing in the appsKey/Right click on the user account.

However, in AD they don't have the option to prompt the end-user to change their password when the type in the reset password. Any ideas what permission needs to be altered? Thanks, Barry.
