1) I found the first start webpage that showed up a bit confusing. Why ask for my credentials if I already had a running system?
Version 5 has "global credentials" which are used as a last resort if no other credentials could be matched.
2) the "Computer Exclusion" list i had in the last version was MISSING. It rescanned all my pcs that I didn't want listed. I had to re-add that list and manually Delete the added pcs.
We cannot reproduce this, please e-mail us your lansweeper\service\errorlog.txt file.
4) what were the default IP/computer threads for previous versions. I have 20/5 now but I cant recall if thats what I changed it to or thats the default.
This is your value from 4.2
5) The user/website permission setup is NICE, but now I guess i need to create ActiveDirectory groups for users to control if they can access certain things like CONFIG page? darn i'd love a simple password.... but ok.
Yes, you need to create groups instead of creating multiple logins.
