Why does only the Lansweeper DB System Show Up?

[mikedutch]

Newbie here...

I was under the impression that no agents need be installed on the systems to be audited... that Lansweeper would scan my network and automatically add the Windows systems.

After installing, the only system that is scanned is the one where SQL Server resides.

So I typed in several systems I want scanned... but now I can't figure out how to start the scan manually. Is it only possible to schedule a scan once per day?

I noticed that some of my systems show OK on the Ping test, Remote registry test, and Remote WMI access tests but some only pass some of the tests. But even those that pass all connection tests still don't automatically show up.

My questions are:
1. Is there a way to manually start a scan?
2. Should all Windows systems on my network be scanned automatically?
3. Is it correct that no agent need be installed on the systems to be scanned?

Thanks,
Mike

1) you need to run the command "lsclient.exe" on the client computer (easiest way to do this is using the logonscript or a GPO) (see the documentation)
2) no
3) Yes, lsclient doesn't install anything, it just informs the service that this client needs to be scanned. All scanning is done by the service.
