License scanning as it relates to Domain Controllers

[dennisatsub]

Love the LS tool!

My question is: I have the LS tool running on a mixed bag of pc's and server's running all flavors of Windows. I am running the scan on a DC in my environment and I want to be able to see how many server licenese I need to have. The scan shows that I only need one when of course that's not accurate as it's a domain controller.

Please let me know if I need to supply more information and thanks in advance!

This would be a great thing to have.

I'll move this to the wishlist

If I may, I would assume that i'm not the only person facing this issue. Does anyone have a way to gather CAL information on such servers requiring them without using Microsoft's licensing servce? A script perhaps that works within Lansweeper?

thanks!

Also...does the Premium version provide any such scanning capabilites (monitor CAL licensing)?
Thanks!

I was afraid of that.

So what you are saying is that Lansweeper can only decipher whether a server or workstation has an installed OS and it's license.
If a server is being used to issue DHCP or perform another network role and CAL's come into play then Lansweeper isn't the tool to use?

thanks again!

That's indeed correct, the premium version also doesn't provide this.

Exactly correct! I am looking for CAL license information.
Can this product identify number of CAL's needed according to it's use?

thanks again!
