Running Lansweeper on an XP box - other machines on network aren't seen

[rgito]

I am still having some difficulty setting this up so please bear with me. Perhaps I should explain in more detail.

We have a 2003 server in our office which is basically acting as a file server. We authenticate to DCs at our national headquarters. I cannot add programs to the fileserver, so I have installed lansweep on a XP Pro box (named Foo) in my cube. It is working as I can scan that box just fine.

I would now like to have the other 20+ machines in our office scanned with lansweep and have their data sent to the box in my cube. I do have access to the logon scripts on our server, but have been having difficulty getting that part of the process to work. We run a login batch file on our 03 svr box that maps drives for each user in the office. In the .bat file I placed this reference (cscript /nologo c:\Scripts\lansweeper\lsclient_login.vbs) that points to a separate .vbs file on that machine with the script entries from the lansweeper install docs. In the vbs file I put:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run "lsclient.exe Foo"

and tried to run the script manually. Of course I received the "The system cannot find the file specified" error as lsclient.exe is not on the server but on foo. I then tried: WshShell.run "\\Foo\Program Files\lansweeper32\Client\lsclient.exe Foo" but the error then becomes "No network provider accepted the given network path"

What code do I place in my logon script on the 2003 svr box to have each of our office PCs run the lsclient (stored on my XP Foo box in my cube) and report their lansweeper information to the GUI Console that is running on Foo?

BTW: From what I can tell I do have mixed mode auth enabled. I started the MSSQL server mgmt studio express and went to :

my machine name\SQLEXPRESS => rt click properties => Security => Server Authentication

The "SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode" radio button is checked.

This seems like a simple thing to fix...but I have had no success. Ideas?

I came in this morning and checked the mgmt console and the red icon is gone. It has been replaced by the standard icon for the PC. I don't know how this happened, but it is good news.

I tried a manual run on another machine and the same thing happened. The red icon in this case, however, disappeared within 15 minutes or so. I guess this is ok.

Thanks for the help. I think I will just run the scans manually on each machine in my office, at least for a little while.

To access lsclient on your computer make a share on it share c:\program files\lansweeper\client as "lansweeper" or something

let your clients connect to \\foo\lansweeper

About the second problem : check the error tab on that client, there will be an error like "access denied" or "RPC server unavailable"

A followup...

If I install the LSclient.exe file on another machine in the office, and run it from the command line on that machine with an administrator account, the process does complete (lansweeper says "success").

When I open the console GUI on Foo I see an entry for the machine in the Computers tab, but the PC icon is red and there is no data for the machine (no OS, Processor or Memory). The Last Seen and Domain entries are populated with a current time and the correct name for our domain.

It appears that parts of lansweeper are working....
