I am looking to implement LS in my new employers environment and my manager asked a question I am unsure of the answer to.

We have distributed offices, and if a firewall goes down in one of the branch offices, will I be able to see which devices are effected by the outage?

It kind of depends on what kind of firewall you're referring to and how its configuration is stored on client machines, but Lansweeper can certainly report on machines where the Windows Firewall service isn't running for instance or where it's disabled (by performing a custom registry scan for the firewall settings). Lansweeper doesn't perform a complete analysis of a machine's open ports however.
