De-central stand-alone LS service installation

[mschoene]

We must collect inventory data from some sites which are connected via VPN but they have no AD integration with the main company AD (one could say another forest).

As I understand I can install only the service on this site with a user who has admin privilege on the clients at this site. This service can point to the central LS DB.

During the installation I am asked to enter the adress of the database. After that I get an error massage that Named Pipes, TCP/IP and SQL Browser Service must be running. All this configuration items I have done. The central database machine is reachable by ping.

Could you please light up the communication between this service and the central database server (ports and so on) because I'm afraid that we have a firewall issue. Are there also additional checks which could clarify this problem?

The installer could be a lot better 😉

It runs !!!

.Net 2.0 installed and at Lansweeperservice.exe.config "Data Source=10.X.X.X" instead of "Data Source=10.X.X.X\sqlexpress" entered (don't know why) - and machines from a "foreign" domain with no trust are inventoried to the central LS db!

Geert, your tool is great!!

instsrvw.exe ? I followed your link and downloaded srvinstw.exe. There I entered the name above.

Yes sorry, srvinstw.exe.

When you installed with srvinstw.exe, what options did you choose?

[Hemoco]

I mean when using instsrvw.exe

I did it in the same manner like at the central instance:

Display-Name of Service: Lansweeper Service (during srvinstw installation procedure)
Name of service.exe: Lansweeperservice.exe (copied from the central instance with active scanning)
Name of config-file: Lansweeperservice.exe.config

[Hemoco]

Is your service called : lansweeperservice.exe, then your config file should be lansweeperservice.exe.config.

What were the options that you choose when installing?

[mschoene]

1. O.K.

2. O.K. but trying to start the service ends up with

Event-ID: 7000: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

LSService.exe.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration><appSettings><add key="ConnectionString" value="Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=12.12.120.159\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=Lansweeper32;User ID=lssqluser32;Password=topsecret"/><add key="ConcurrentThreads" value="10"/><add key="ListenPort" value="9524"/><add key="Activescanning" value="0"/></appSettings></configuration>

Any idea??

Copy your current service folder to the other server.

Install the service with http://www.lansweeper.com/debug/srvinstw.zip
