Are there any plans to allow Lansweeper to work with multiple domains that are not in one forest?

For legal reasons, we have 3 seperate domains (they are all on the same physical network & subnet). It would be nice if Lansweeper could discover, scan and update all computers for each domains.

I understand that IP address will be in the next release; this will be a big help for us since the computer names are not in our DNS.

Great Product!! Just thought I would see if a solution for our situation was possibly in the works. THANKS.

Hi,

I have upgraded to beta version. I am still getting error message for Windows 2000 Domain. Again I have changed the security details.

Please download the 3.5.1 beta from http://www.lansweeper.com/forum/yaf_postst1514_Lansweeper-Service-351-update-1-beta.aspx to test active scanning of untrusted domains.

Depending on the amount of threads the service takes about 50 MB - 100 MB of active Ram.
What can increase the speed a lot is multiple processors or cores.

And how much RAM? Which factor limits the performance of such a "LS collector"?

You can use XP if you want, if you lower the amount of simultaneous scans it should run without any problem.

I would also appreciate to have multiple accounts for scanning different domains within our AD forest or VPN.
By the way: How much power must a machine have with only the LS service installed which is scanning the clients and delivering the inventory data to the centralised database? Can I use Windows XP or must I use w2k server?

A beta should be ready by the end of the month

When will the next premium version be released? I'm having the same problem but if the release will be soon then I'll wait for it.
