Error message -

[Dave_Gently]

4 hours later, and I'm almost there - this is very, very difficult to install!

I have almost got the "Complete version 1.5" part installed now, but it gives me the error

"SQL Server does not exist or access denied"

When I press the "Start" button.

Also, what is the "Lansweeper Service"? I assume I do not need it if I have downloaded the "complete" one?

I do not think this software will work - so many troubles 😞

[Dave_Gently]

Had the test machine working for a day now. Looks good 🙂

I'm going to install the server version now and take a look at that.

I had a go at doing one of these myself a while back using pure SNMP (as WMI didn't work too well with non-Microsoft systems ;). It worked great, apart from trying to get SNMP installed on the Windows machines turned out to be a nightmare >_<

Anyway, just wanted to say "good work"!

I work as system admin too... but lets say i'm a junior sys admin (:þ)

[Hemoco]

I'm a system administrator, I'm used to solving problems like this 🙂

[logar]

😄

I still have to learn about this program 🙂

Btw smikkel is there any way i can get back my newbie status for lets say a month or two 🙂

[Dave_Gently]

Yes! Thats done the trick 🙂

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<!-- User application and configured property settings go here.-->
<!-- Example: <add key="settingName" value="settingValue"/> -->
<add key="ConnectionString" value="integrated security=SSPI;data source=&quot;127.0.0.1\Lansweeper&quot;;persist security info=False;initial catalog=Lansweeper" />
<add key="ConcurrentThreads" value="20" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Thanks.

I see the problem, you have a named instance of the database server, so your server is "localhost\Lansweeper" instead of just "localhost"

[logar]

sorry it took me so much time to answer... i've been overloaded with troubles (lol a few user complaining about the ERP we have here...)




I had some kind of similar problem, what I found that helped me was a bit weird but worked fine... I used the old version of lansweeper (lsconsole.exe), since it runs in console, it gives more information and troubleshooted starting there... there may be a few differences in the config files, but you should be ok to work around it ...

it might seem weird to you but it's a weird (but too handy:) ) software !

[Dave_Gently]

Hm. That config file sure is doing something.

I copied my backup config file bak - error.

I paste your one in - no error message.

This is what I used for the userid/password config (gives the error):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<!-- User application and configured property settings go here.-->
<!-- Example: <add key="settingName" value="settingValue"/> -->
<add key="ConnectionString" value="data source=&quot;127.0.0.1&quot;;persist security info=True;initial catalog=Lansweeper;user id=lsuser;password=lsuserpass" />
<add key="ConcurrentThreads" value="20" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Using this, I get no error (even with made-up username & password):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<!-- User application and configured property settings go here.-->
<!-- Example: <add key="settingName" value="settingValue"/> -->
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Integrated security=SSPI;data source="127.0.0.1";persist security info=False;initial catalog=Lansweeper;user id=james;password=james" />
<add key="ConcurrentThreads" value="20" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

>_<

Ok.. I really am giving up for today now...

[Dave_Gently]

Strange. When I click "start" now... nothing happens. Doesn't matter which configuration file I use - even one with a wrong password!

I think I will need to reset again but I can't at the moment as I'm part-way through some other processing. Looks like a job for tommorrow...

Thanks for the help guys 🙂
