Chromebooks/Chromeboxes/Chromebase

[systemzee]

Any plans by lansweeper to automate the inventory of these growing systems? We are in the process of converting our company from Windows based (Office/Excel/OS) to Google for Work apps (Chromebooks/Chromeboxes) and there is no way to inventory these automatically.

Maybe a Google Chrome extension that communicates directly with the lansweeper server?

Chrome machines are here to stay, they are only growing, so you guys have to have some thoughts on a solution.

Any ideas?

Chromebooks will be detected as Linux computers, but in most cases you won't have root access to them, so you can't perform a full scan, except you enable developer mode and provide the access. As they are completely cloud-based, there is not much of software details to be scanned. You can inventory them with Lansweeper, but most details would have to be manually entered.
