Hi
I'm trying to setup Lansweeper on Windows 2005 SP2 Virtual Server and cant get any PCs to connect to the SQL 2005 database. Is this setup supported ? Do the clients need to connect to the real MAC address of the server not a virtual one ?
I've got Lansweeper working on a Windows 2003 RC2 server and happy with it but want to move it to newer hardware.

About the charge for version 3 I think it is a good idea. The product is very good.

If you run the lsservice under a domain administrator account, you won't have any problem because it has administrative privileges on all pc's.

Yes that is what I'm tring to do connect to a Virtual server running on Windows Server 2003. Which account do you recommend run the lsservice ? Presumably not the domain account that has permission on the PCs.
The firewall is turned off on the Servers and Pcs so that is not an issue.

thanks

If I understand correctly, you are running a windows 2003 server as a virtual machine.
This is basicly the same setup as any other setup.
The lsclient needs to connect to the service, the service connects to the sql server.
Lsclient connects to the IP address of the server or to the hostname.

A known misconfiguration for this setup is that the windows firewall is ok on the virtual machine, but not on the hardware machine.
