GRitchie Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Hello, Not really too sure where to post this, so I presumed this was the most related category. I'm wanting to set up a ticketing system however we don't really have room in the budget for it, so I've been looking at some free software such as osTicket, however it's not all as easy as it seems. Does anybody know of any software that they recommend which allows Active Directory integration and the ability to email in tickets, which is free? I don't mind setup time but we just can't make any purchases! Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Edu-IT Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Let us know how you go or if you need anything more. It's pretty good for free.
GRitchie Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Let us know how you go or if you need anything more. It's pretty good for free. Only problem I seem to be having is, when it emails to say 'ticket closed' that causes the ticket to reopen? Any ideas?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24590[/ATTACH] No, once the ticket is closed, it is, indeed, closed. However, you have the option to reopen a ticket if it needs to be revisited. In this instance, it would email the user again to tell them their ticket has been reopened.

I hit close, then a few minutes later, the email to say it is closed is sent out, and then the ticket reopens with this: "No Comment. an hour ago by IT Helpdesk (Creator)"
localzuk Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 It sounds like you've got your admin user using the same email address as the helpdesk itself - so the helpdesk is emailing itself, and therefore re-opening tickets. The helpdesk needs its own email address, and then any admin users when set up need their individual email addresses entering.

localzuk Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah, that looks fine. What details have you set up the admin account you're logged in to Spiceworks to use?

localzuk Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hmm... they all seem right then. Not the same address at all. I'd suggest you post on the spiceworks community about it.
buzzlightyear Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 I have just implemented OSTicket with AD intergration. osTicket :: Support Ticket System | osTicket (Just google OS Ticket LDAP plugin and you can download this from GitHib). Works really well - we have over 6,000 users. The only downside is that admin/tech staff cannot login with AD - but 'customers' can!
