As per your website, "Lansweeper does not need to install a client on your workstations". I installed Lansweeper, its not discovering any computers on my network with no firewalls active. Reading the forum leads me to believe I will need to install lsclient on all client machines which is contradictory to the statement that lansweeper do not need any cleint installs. I tried lstrigger and nothing happens even though it says succeeded. Any thoughts?

The report builder is scheduled first as the next premium user tool, so the other tool will have to wait some more time.

- The lsclient does not need to be installed, it's just a small executable to let the service now that there is a computer "live" on that IP, the service does all the rest of the scanning.
If you place the lsclient in a loginscript (or using a GPO) you only need to put it on one place in your network and the clients will run it from there.

- Lstrigger only triggers computers already discovered by Lansweeper. (who are already in the database)

- There is a new tool currently in development for premium users (which you are) which reads all computers from active directory and scans them when you run it. (this way you can schedule a full scan of your network whenever you want without using lsslient)

Hi Geert, how long do you think it is before this AD tool becomes available. I am about to figure it out myself but if you are near the release i might as well just wait.
BTW, i am a huge fan of the product, thank You for all the hard work!

thanks,
