Active Scanning without Domain Admin rights

[MrVal]

First let me say that I just started using the trial version this week and i'm already hooked!!!! First thing on monday I am going to approch my director and ask we buy it. I have already found tons of issues that will keep our techs busy for months!!

OK. I am a local admin on all the machines under my OUs. (around 3500 PCs). And the scheduled scans are working without issue. BUT I have not seen 1 scan get done or queue up from the active scanning. Is my not being a domain admin keeping the DC and lansweeper apart?

I selected the OUs I want scanned under "Active scanning OU filtering" anything else I'm missing?

Also. My PC's are in groups of 30-100 all connected back to my office by 1 or 2 T1s per group. So bandwith is minimal. Any suggestions on what settings I should use for scanning?

Ok thanks!! Once the numbers stabilized I now have around 20 being scanned at any one time. (increasing the threads to 75 helped a lot also!)

I got it!! Works like a charm now.

Its not a big deal, but is there a way to increase the active scanning interval. To say every 12 hours? instead of 8?

No, but it's 8 hours minimum.
Most computers contact the DC only once a day.

Make sure you also add the domain these OU's belong to.

I'm ashamed to admit this.... But I typo'd the netbios name for the domain when I entered it. I'm going to give it another day and see what happens
