The other option is to find some "Rent-a-Wreck" place that will have some older, cheap cars to rent - some might be sticks. The downside is that they will often be well away from the airport. I like driving a stick myself, but it's just not worth the hassle to get one in a rental. Rick On 9/6/0

Mary, there are other validations going on - even for arcane things like the phone number. Adding the qualification like you did for those Filters worked for me - you just have to turn the logs on and see where it failed, then where the data can't be cleaned to the point where this isn't necessary

Three words: Don't. Buy. Trouble. If what you have is working, and there's nothing in the patch worth risking a smoothly operating system, I'd hold off until there's a need to upgrade. At that, I would wait about 2 weeks after a patch is released - if it's still out there after then, it's proba

Rabi, I have had success using the Sync Search Database to lead me through some of the related items in ITSM 7. Unfortunately, log files are about the only other thing that's been educational. I'm sure that there is a utility or two out there that can help - too bad BMC can't seem to provide any

I agree - it would be a monumental task for a new Remedy admin to decipher ITSM 7. However, us old-timers can help by documenting what we know and passing it along to our customers, to at least give them a place to start looking. I created a cheat sheet showing where to modify certain configurati

Who can install ITSM patch 5 until they tell us what's in it? I won't. When I asked for the contents, they said they couldn't provide one, and then created a bug against the patch process. (Ya think?) How about fixing the bug in the product manager for letting such an obvious oversight occur?
