Deploy problem

[sabahsawor]

Hi All,

We are currently scanning our network through an IP range, and as a result, we have discovered some assets that will need the LsAgent installed for proper monitoring. However, this process is causing an issue where the same assets appear twice in the Lansweeper console – once from the IP range scan and again once the LsAgent is deployed. This creates confusion, as these assets do not appear to be marked as duplicates.

Do you guys have any suggestion that we help me with the procced of scan network through ip range target then push lsagent to be installed through the group policy ?

Hi,

Normally, while scanning, Lansweeper compares the scanned data with existing data that is already stored in the database. If Lansweeper finds a match for the scanned data, the existing asset is updated with the scanned data. However, if no existing asset is found, or Lansweeper is unable to verify that the scanned information belongs to an existing asset. Lansweeper will instead create a new asset containing the newly scanned data. 

As long as the properties Lansweeper uses to uniquely identify assets are unchanged, assets are not duplicated. If there are duplicates then ensure that you meeting the scanning requirements. Its possible that the scanning requirements are not being met and Lansweeper is not getting all the information that we need to merge a device. 

For windows assets an additional feature, rename detection helps prevent duplication. More information can be found in the articles below:
