Workstations Classified as Network Devices

[JaySongz]

Can you someone describe the circumstances that Lansweeper will scan a (Windows Workstation) host and determine that its a network device?

Thanks for the info!

I'll additionally mention my favorite scanning troubleshooting KB as an extra to those 2 excellent on point resources: https://community.lansweeper.com/t5/troubleshooting-scanning-issues/scanning-troubleshoot-guide/ta-p...

For Lansweeper to determine that a target is a Windows machine, it requires port 135 TCP to be open. If that port is closed, Lansweeper will try to scan that asset by other methods and might list it as a network device.

You can find the list of ports used by Lansweeper and the network scan requirements in the following knowledge base articles:
