Remote systems on domains in other forests?

[at]

I realize its called LANsweeper, but I was wondering if there was anyway to add support for remote sites that weren't in the domain? We manage the networks of multiple unconnected sites.

- Use one central database in the main site and configure it using sql authentication (user = lssqluser, password = ...)

- Install the service on a server in all your locations and point to the central database. (let the service run under an administrative account for that site)

- In all the sites, let the lsclient connect to the server in it's site -> the service scans the client -> the service sends the data to the central database.

One remark : make sure that you don't have duplicate computernames in the different sites.

Are you saying that it can be done without a trust. We have many customers at other sites connected by permanent site to site VPNs. We would love to get this working across the VPNs, but we cannot create domain trusts. What would we have to do to get this to work. If this is possible we would definitely contribute and become a premium user. Many thanks

If you add a trust between the the domains it would be possible (and give the appropriate account admin access)
Another way is to use a central database and a lansweeper service in each forest connecting to the central DB

I use lansweeper in one forest with 15 domains.
