I'm a bit Confused

[mnoonan]

I do apologize in advance,

I have downloaded the new premium user pack, but there are no instructions on how to install these modules. I am not an ASP.net programmer, and none of the instructions appear clear to me.

What do I do with these .exe files that are in folders? Am I to double click them? Overwrite existing ones that live in folders allready created during install?

Not sure what to do here guys??

IT-AP01\Databases\lansweeper32

This is on SQL2005 server. I am not using Express

[Hemoco]

is the IT-AP01 the name of the sqlserver or maybe IT-AP01\sqlexpress.
are you using sqlexpress or a named instance?

[mnoonan]

The server name is IT-AP01 and I use my domain/Administrator login.
I don't a copy of the old. I did an overwrite with the file. I should know better.

[Hemoco]

It seems tha tyou have also replaced the connectionstring.

You only needed to add the line : <add key="Activescanning" value="1" />

Do you have a backup of your old config file?
Do you know the name of your sql server, I'll try to reproduce the config file.

The error log says:

Login failed for user 'lssqluser'.
9/2/2008 12:00:13 PM : Cannot connect to database, check your config file, service will be stopped
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Login failed for user 'lssqluser'.

The config file reads:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=127.0.0.1;Initial Catalog=Lansweeper;User ID=lssqluser;Password=" />
<add key="ConcurrentThreads" value="20" />
<add key="ListenPort" value="9524" />
<add key="Activescanning" value="1" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

I have completed the above steps, and have set the Activescanning value to 1 as instructed, but it appears as if the Active Directory portion of the program is not working. Am I missing something? I have no systems reporting back to the GUI or the webinterface.

No aspx pages need to be replaced.

All the premium tools can be run standalone, you only have to replace the service (attached instructions)

Take a look at the current name of your service (should be lansweeper32.exe,lansweeper32.exe or lansweeper32.exe)

Steps to upgrade

1) Rename Lansweeper32.exe to (your existing filename)

2) Stopped the service

3) Copied lansweeperxx.exe over of existing file

4) Add the following line to your .exe.config file (after the line with listenport)
<add key="Activescanning" value="1" />

5) Start the service


You can enable and disable active scanning with the 1 - 0 parameter



Your config file should look something like this


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
	<appSettings>
		<add key="ConnectionString" value="Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=myserver\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=Lansweeper;User ID=lssqluser;Password=mysecretpassword" />
    <add key="ConcurrentThreads" value="10" />
    <add key="ListenPort" value="9524" />
    <add key="Activescanning" value="1" />
	</appSettings>
</configuration>
