Scanning Credentials tracking

[jacobsenm]

Hi,

We have a large network with many sites. We are scanning vmware, switches, printers etc using different credentials.
It can be the case that device A has been scanned with vmware credential A and device B has been scanned with vmware credential B.
Is there a way to track which device has been scanned successfully with which credential name ?

Thank you.

Since Lansweeper 5.3, the scanning service remembers the last successful credential per asset in order to avoid delay by using wrong credentials. However, this information is not stored in the database and can't be pulled out with reports.
The only thing what you can do on Windows computers is deploying a package under scanning credentials and afterwards having a look at the deployment logs. The log will indicate which credential was used on the machine.

In general, Lansweeper tries credentials as you mapped them to the IP range or IP addresses of assets under Configuration\Scanning credentials, section Credential Mapping, from the top to the bottom. Global credentials will always be the last try.
