Scanning with different credentials

[peterli]

First of all I would like to say it's a great product!
We have also become Premium users mainly to support the project.

One thing I have been missing though; the possibility to scan machines or group of machines with another user than the service account. That is nescessary if you don't have a common admin account.
As a workaround I have started the service with different service accounts to make a "one-time scan" of a number of servers.

Or do anyone have a better idea...

This feature is implemented in our next version 3.5 : you can test the beta from

A solution would be to define 2 services with different credentials which point to the same central database.

Thanks for your instant answer!

We are currently running a Domain migration project so we have computers in an old NT domain, an AD and standalone Workgroup computers.
When it's finished I will be in the situation where I still cannot use one common admin account due to security policies.
At the moment the Lansweeper service is running with an NT domain service account.

Are you using a windows domain/forest?
