• Configuration Wins – Have you fine-tuned your Lansweeper setup, built a useful report, or optimized your scanning? Great teaching moment – Show it off!

• Spring Cleaning – Removed outdated assets, cleaned up software installs, or tightened up security? Tell us how it sparkles!

I'll start -- I don't know how many times I have been a part of standups or meetings where hardware engineers complain about running out of compute due to all of the servers... to have the SysAdmin team (including myself) explain how we have so many servers that aren't needed. 

Come to find out, we had plenty of compute... just needed to turn off and delete the virtual servers. 🤦

But I've also been on the other side... the server(s) has been turned off and deleted but I never took it out of Lansweeper. Making sure database cleanup is configured is a huge help. Making sure "remove from Lansweeper" is a checkbox in the run book is another good idea.
