Is it possible to scan an untrusted domain without a DNS forwarder

[NorthH]

Would all the servers/IP have to be in Lansweeper's HOSTS file?

[NorthH · Accepted solution]

Ok I see what you are saying.. I have the information for the computers but not for the users/AD. For documentations sake I did add the DNS server on the Lansweeper server per the documentation. But did not add a conditional forwarder on my DCs so I guess that is what makes the difference.

Is the user information and active directory information scanned ok?

[NorthH]

Yes it is an AD domain
when you say AD lookup, what do you mean?
I am using Active Scanning and also IP scanning

[NorthH]

These are all VMware guests and I added them to IP scanning. Why is this working?

Is this an active directory domain?
Is active directory lookup working?
Are you using active scanning?

[NorthH]

I simply added the domain to the host file and it worked.

This won't be possible because active directory relies on DNS to lookup everything (not only host names)
