can I install lansweeper on a windows XP box?

[rgito]

I do not have access to a windows server to install lansweeper.

Can I install the database, etc. on a windows XP box and then have it run all my queries for the rest of my small office (~20 machines)?

I can add login scripts to our existing AD domain within our office, I just am wondering if I can point to the XP box and have the lan scanning work with this setup.

Thanks!

From what I can tell I do have mixed mode auth enabled. I started the MSSQL server mgmt studio express and went to :

my machine name\SQLEXPRESS => rt click properties => Security => Server Authentication

The "SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode" radio button is checked.

I did install lansw with my domain admin account. I start the lansw GUI with the lssqluser logon and default password. This works just fine.
The interesting thing I see is that I can scan two machines that are connected to the same hub in my office (the one that has the server and a laptop). I cannot see any other machines.

Could you verify that you have enabled mixed mode authentication on your sqlserver please.

hey!!! how are you?
I have installed an xp but does not work properly, I get error "Logon Failure user 'lssqluser32.' The user is not associated with a SQL Server connection trust" someone has the idea of solution?

I am still having some difficulty with this so please bear with me. Perhaps I should explain in more detail.

We have a 2003 server in our office which is basically acting as a file server. We authenticate to DCs at our national headquarters. I cannot add programs to the fileserver, so I have installed lansweep on a XP Pro box (named Foo) in my cube. It is working as I can scan that box just fine.

I would now like to have the other 20+ machines in our office scanned with lansweep and have their data sent to the box in my cube. I do have access to the logon scripts on our server, but have been having difficulty getting that part of the process to work. I created a separate .vbs file on that machine with the script entries from the install docs. In it I put:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run "lsclient.exe Foo"

and tried to run the script manually. Of course I received the "The system cannot find the file specified" error as lsclient.exe is not on the server but on foo. I then tried: WshShell.run "\\Foo\Program Files\lansweeper32\Client\lsclient.exe Foo" but the error then becomes "No network provider accepted the given network path"

What code do I place in my logon script to have each of our office PCs run the lsclient (stored on Foo) and report their lansweeper information back to that machine?

It would seem like a simple thing to do...but it eludes me. Ideas?

You should point lsclient to the server where the service is installed.
In your case it would be : lsclient Foo

Thanks for the reply earth,

another question if I may?

what should the path to my XP box (that is running lansweeper) look like in my individual user login scripts?

For example, in the documentation the login script entry is:

WshShell.run "%logonserver%\netlogon\lsclient.exe myserver",0

If my XP machine is named Foo and I performed the default sqlexpress db install...so that the database name I chose in the lansweeper installation was: FOO\SQLEXPRESS....

should my WshShell.run command be: WshShell.run "FOO\lsclient.exe FOO",0 ??

I don't have any netlogin directory that I can find.

Still a bit confused here on how to get this setup....
