Is it possible to use Lansweeper without lsclient

[sanjeevnuts]

Hi,
Lansweeper is presented as an agentless application but apparently it does need the lnclient.exe to be executed on targets. So its not truly agentless.
or am I wrong?
I read in some post that if I schedule computers to scan, the data will come in without the need to execute the lnclient.exe on targets. It didn't happen. Am I doing something wrong?

Easiest would be to install the sql management console (free download from microsoft)

You could open the sql manager, open the table tsysschedule and paste from excel.

Hi I'm using the SQL 2005 free edition. Where do I find the table?

OK, something is working.
After a couple of days I'm seeing stuff from computers I never executed lnclient on !!!!!

Is there a way to add computers to the "Scheduled Scanning" list from an excel sheet?

Of course it works 🙂

Bull, you mean you are not executing the lnclient.exe on your servers at all?
I'm using a domain admin account, still my clients I have added in the schedule all show red without any data.

It gets all the info once I execute the lnclient.exe on the target machine but I do not want it to do so.
My environment has over 6000 machines spread across North America and I'd rather not execute the client on all machines.
You cannot believe the enormity of Change and Release management process I will need to go through if I'm to add that in my Group Policy.

I had hoped Lansweeper would quietly get the info but apparently it cannot.

It is an amazing product and I have been allowed to buy a Premium user subscription but now I cannot justify it.

The lsclient does no scanning, it just send a message to the service "please scan me, this is my ip"

Hello, you may be missing some requirements, the account where the service is running must have administration permissions over the servers. you don't need lsclient.exe for that (I'm using this for my servers).
