How to scan and update DB with computers that are not on LAN

[v2]

Guess I never managed to search the right keywords and find this earlier:

http://www.lansweeper.com/kb/24/how-to-scan-with-LsPush.html

My original question is already answered there.



=== Original Question ===
We have had the premium version for many years now and have been very happy with its scanning abilities and almost limitless custom reporting.

The way we provision our laptops and desktops for our sales force does not require them to use VPN to the main office; instead, we are using RemoteApp or good old RDC as needed. So we do not have a way to auto scan them or to track changes as the devices are not on the local network. We do not want to use VPN for various reasons.

So now to the question. Is there a way for LSPush to generate a scan file that we can then import in the Lansweeper DB? As far as I know, LSPush requires access to the server to "upload" its results. We would like to be able to create a small script that we can send to our remote folks and they run it and email us back the scan results.

Just to confirm for other users: LsPush doesn't need access to your Lansweeper server. If you run it manually on a client machine by double-clicking on the executable or with the /file or /folder parameter, a text file will be generated that contains the scan results. This file can be placed in the Program Files (x86)\Lansweeper\Service\import folder on your Lansweeper server, where the scan results will automatically be processed and added to your database. (The scan file will disappear from the import folder, indicating that the import process has completed.)
