I like it a lot. Especially the role based access. Although, it took me a few minutes to figure out. It was letting anyone into the site until I actually added the NT groups to the roles.

Role based access was a key feature for me.

I also like being able to configure everything from the main web console.

You all have outdid yourselves with this update.

Thanks for a great product.

We use the Enterprise version and it would be helpful for us to see on the summary page
somewhere , which Scan server is performing the scan

The Grouping of Assets is particularly useful for us. Awesome actually! It makes selecting various "users" PC's that work in mixed IP environment locations super easy when creating reports., or trying to find assets belonging to just "Roaming" users.

Having a similar grouping for Software titles would be equally useful.
We would be able to distinguish quickly between pushed , self installed, etc titles

Can you please send a screenshot of the overlap to support@lansweeper.com

tblAssetsComments contains comments for computers and devices.

Found that out and have a working report.

Thanks

Comments field is a great feature.

Currently if the text length exceeds a certain length, it overlaps the Added By field.

I've been using that field as a ToDo feature and printing the page.

It would nice, if not for printing, but for readability, to have the Comment field wrap in the Web Interface.

Also a built in way to run a report on Comments of a given PC. I've found a way to run a report for Asset Comments (tblAssetsComments), but can't find the table with PC Comments to create my own for PC Comments.

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
  tblAssets.AssetName,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename,
  tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
  tblAssets.IPAddress,
  tblAssets.Lastseen,
  tblAssets.Lasttried,
  tblAssetComments.CommentID,
  tblAssetComments.Comment,
  tblAssetComments.AddedBy,
  tblAssetComments.Added
From tblAssets
  Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
  Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype
  Inner Join tblAssetComments On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetComments.AssetID
Where tblAssetCustom.State = 1

I would like to see more Active Directory info. I currently have to use SystemTools Exporter Pro alongside of Lansweeper to get a complete AD picture. Lansweeper lacks important AD Sites and Services data like Subnets, Sites, Site Links., and more detailed user/group info. I also have a number of scripts, and reg keys pulls that produce reports for Clusters that identify cluster name, partner, and various other details. I can also assist with Microsoft SPLA licensing if there is an interest.

AD Information for us also .
We would love to be able to see Group Membership for Assets and/or Users
Software problems/inventory checks on PC can be tied to group membership of pushed applications, and we are often running one of several AD reporters or scripts alongside LS to verify if an Asset has "Allowed" software
