LSPush/LSClient auto-update command line option to a particular host/path
Could you elaborate on this. You can already have LsPush/LsClient connect directly to your Lansweeper server. (LsClient doesn't work without a server connection.)
Sure. Thank-you for the time.
We have many remote workers that are not LAN connected. My last ticket to LanSweeper support suggested it is not recommended to make the LanSweeper server (service port) Internet accessible. As such, we still need to inventory remote machines.
We are working on a script that will be placed on each client machine along with a copy of LSPush.exe and LSClient.exe. Our script will test if on LAN and if so, run LSClient to the Inventory server. If not on LAN but with Internet connection, we will run the local LSPush.exe to a local file, then FTP that file to an FTP server where the inventory file is dropped in a folder mapped to the LanSweeper import folder.
Now, LSClient and LSPush are periodically updated with a new LanSweeper update (or so it appears). It would be cool if our script could run LSClient or LSPush with a new command line switch along with a remote FTP or HTTP path to the latest version of the executable and self update itself.
Again, we are new to LS and may be overly complicating it but this is what we've come up with so far to ensure reliable inventory of remote, non-LAN, machines. If there are other options, I'll be happy to start a new thread and not hijack this wishlist thread.
Thanks and blessings.
