site above lists LBE as free for an older version. I've used it. Works
well.
As a helpdesk staffer with 8 years exp. It recommend either this or
Liberum. The only part of liberum that makes me concerned is IIS and
the possible security issue. This would be OK with fairly serious
firewalling, or a willingness to keep IIS patched.
I like Liberum's ability to ticket-surf (which is nice for the folks
in teir2 support) email and pager support. The knowledge base is nice
as well. I wish it had more reports of helpdesk quality assurance data
(time to issue close, etc.) Generating QA reports manually is a serious
PITA.
You could team this with a Wiki-like WX Wiki Server, with the Wiki
providing users with "serve yourself" fixes, to common problems that the
helpdesk staff could edit and the users have read access to.

# Transfer of jobs between operators.
# Full audit trail of what actions were taken and by whom.
# Prioritisation of jobs.
# Specify target completion dates.
# Real-time monitoring of all jobs with optional alarm.
# Flexible querying tool to report and monitor on all jobs or only those
jobs which meet a particular set of criteria.
# Sort jobs according to customer, logged date, target date, priority etc.
# Flexible reports: Jobs per Category, Jobs per Customer, Overdue vs.
On-target, Frequency of jobs etc.
# Multiple jobs databases - so you could maintain one for help-desk, one
for orders etc.
# Full, on-line, context sensitive help.
# E-mail alerts
