Is there a way to configure LS to scan all the users & computers in AD?

[Riley]

Is there a way to configure LS to scan all the users & computers in AD since, technically, AD is my source authority to what users and computers I should physically have?

However, at the same time, I want to use LS to scan everything, like systems or people that someone plugs into my network.
How do I separate the two for audit purposes when reporting what should vs what I see with added unknown systems?

You can configure an Active Directory scanning target in Lansweeper to scan your AD users and AD computers. The following KB article will provide a guide on how to configure an Active Directory scanning target:

In addition to the Active Directory scanning target, you can set up an IP Range scanning target to detect any other devices connected to your environment. More information about setting up such a target can be found here: 

• https://community.lansweeper.com/t5/scanning-your-network/scanning-with-an-ip-range-scanning-target/...

You can review new devices that have been found in the Last 24 hours by using reports such as the following:
