LsAgent for Windows command line options?

[RobertBasil]

Are there any command line switches for the LsAgent that is currently installed on a Windows computer?

For example.

LsAgent.exe /scan to force it to scan?

If yes, where might I find a list of these switches?

Thank you,

You can also use LSpush to do on demand scanning. You just have to create a deployment.

Here is the code that you can import to create the deployment. I have the lpush file in a folder named tools in the package share. Adjust it to fit your needs.

This is the ansible play (lansweeper-rescan.yml) we use to force a rescan:

---
- hosts: windows
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: "Stop LansweeperAgent"
      win_service:
        name: LansweeperAgentService
        state: stopped
    - name: "Remove timestamps from LsAgent.ini"
      win_lineinfile:
        path: C:\Program Files (x86)\LansweeperAgent\LsAgent.ini
        regex: ^Last
        state: absent
    - name: "Start LansweeperAgent"
      win_service:
        name: LansweeperAgentService
        state: started

It's not very clean, but if you reinstall the agent then it will scan again.

Well that doesn't sound like something I can push out or easily automate.

Exactly. Not sure why something basic like a switch to start a scan is not available.

Hi RobertB,

LsAgent has no switches to force start a scan. However, you can force start it by:

• Stopping the Lansweeper Agent Service under services.msc.
  
• Open LsAgent.ini in the LansweeperAgent installation folder.
  
• Remove the values for LastScan and LastSent in this file and save the file.
  
• Restart the Lansweeper Agent Service.
