What is LsPush?
Lspush is a small executable that takes a full local inventory of the local computer and sends the results to the lansweeper server or stores them in a file which can be imported later.

Advantages:
-Standalone executable.
-Does not require administrative privileges.
-A full scan takes only 40 KB of traffic.
-No more problems with inbound firewalls or RPC server unavailable.
-No more remote “access denied” problems.
-Make an inventory of the computers of your remote workers and have them send the results by e-mail.
-Can be used in login scripts/scheduled jobs/custom scripts,…
-Works with Windows home version

Using LsPush with direct server connection.

The syntax is similar to lsclient.exe

Lspush.exe <servername> <port> /showresult

Port is optional, default port is 9524
/showresult is optional

/showresult shows a message “failed” or “success” if the connection to the server worked.

Examples:

Lspush.exe myserver
Lspush.exe myserver 9500
Lspush.exe 192.168.1.50
Lspush.exe 192.168.1.50 /showresult


Using LsPush with E-mail.

Start lspush.exe without any extra parameters.

After the scan MAPI is used to open the default mail program.

The administrator can copy the file to the “lansweeper\service\import” folder where the service will process it.

Using LsPush with file export.

Start lspush.exe with parameter /file.

Example:

Lspush.exe /file

After the scan the temporary folder will be opened with the result.
You can now copy the file to the “lansweeper\service\import” folder where the service will process it.

Using LsPush option "/folder"

Usage:

Lspush.exe /folder "c:\my folder name"
Lspush.exe /folder "\\servername\sharename"

Optional parameter:
/debug (shows debug information and scanning errors)
