LsAgent.ini

[jconger]

I would be much easier to remotely manage the LsAgent.ini settings if you put those settings in the HKLM registry.

For example I want to force a scan of all the LSAgent hosts. I have network tools that I can remotely modify the registry and restart services. So I could clear all the LSAgent hosts LastScan & LastSent settings and then restart the LanSweeper Agent Service.

Why not use LSPUSH? You can do those on demand using a deployment.

Yes indeed it works with LSPUSH
it was the syntax that was not very clear!
so it is: lspush.exe LAN-001 9500

This is the ansible play (lansweeper-rescan.yml) we use to force a rescan:

---
- hosts: windows
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: "Stop LansweeperAgent"
      win_service:
        name: LansweeperAgentService
        state: stopped
    - name: "Remove timestamps from LsAgent.ini"
      win_lineinfile:
        path: C:\Program Files (x86)\LansweeperAgent\LsAgent.ini
        regex: ^Last
        state: absent
    - name: "Start LansweeperAgent"
      win_service:
        name: LansweeperAgentService
        state: started

How do you run this? What is a yml file?

Thanks

does the script exist in Powershel for Windows ?
