Hi everyone!
Lansweeper is delighted to announce the availability of its new Network Discovery in your Lansweeper Site, now in Preview. Discover more details of your assets remotely with Network Discovery, now available on Windows, Linux and macOS with auto update on all platforms.
During Preview, Network Discovery can still produce duplicate assets. Optionally, you can resolve duplicate assets by opening Scanning › Discovery systems and unlinking the Network Discovery system(s), and removing all related data.
Learn how to install/deploy Network Discovery here.
If you chose to link your Network Discovery with your Lansweeper Site, it will be shown in Scanning > Discovery systems.
To see the assets your Network Discovery brought in, you can check Inventory > All assets. You can also use Inventory > Installations > %Name of the Network Discovery Hub% to filter on the assets of a specific installation. Some data might still be missing we’re continuously mapping and expanding our global data model.

That is great to hear, and I am eager to test it out. I did post a support question on an OT backplane discovery issue, so I am hoping this is corrected in the new implementation.
