I've setup an OU filtering but seems Lansweeper is not respecting it.
We have a single domain (unfortunately) for all offices (+80) around the world.
I tried to filter only Sao Paulo Computers but Lan sweeper is sweeping computers from every office.
Here is the OU filter i've set up:
OU=Sao Paulo,OU=Brazil,OU=South America,dc=MyCompanyDomain,dc=com

Note that when changing the filters it can take up to 15 minutes to be active.
The filter works like this:
The complete adsipath of the computer is matched to the filter searching from the right to the left.
Everything adsipath that ends with this filter will be scanned, all other computers will not be scanned.
In case A)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxOU=Sao Paulo,OU=Brazil,OU=South America,DC=haygroup,DC=com will be scanned
in case B)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxOU=Computers,OU=Sao Paulo,OU=Brazil,OU=South America,DC=haygroup,DC=com will be scanned

Weirdo, but I fixed it changing the filter from A to B
A) OU=Sao Paulo,OU=Brazil,OU=South America,DC=haygroup,DC=com
B) OU=Computers,OU=Sao Paulo,OU=Brazil,OU=South America,DC=haygroup,DC=com
Taking into consideration that Lanweeper will scan only computers on the specified paths, the option A would work fine, wouldn't it?
Besides that, with the option A in place, Lansweeper scan ALL computers from the domain and doesn't respect the filter.
Did I find a bug?
