I stumbled across the article below. I would like to do maintenance on all the PC’s, servers, routers, etc.
Then add some date field to Lansweeper and have it remind me using an alert when that device needs maintenance again. Then I can update that field after the maintenance is done on the device.
It looks like based on the info below I can fill out the date in the last patched field.
But don’t see that as an option in the reports I can add to an alert.
Any ideas or a better one than I’m thinking of?
Thanks

would be great, if you could shedule events for all assets and a reminder for upcoming maintenance

Maintenance reminders could be generated if you fill in the Last Patched or Last Backup field on asset webpages.

In order to let Lansweeper send an email report as result of an expired "Last patched" date, you need to set up a custom report which lists all assets which have expired. Please find an example report below which lists assets having a "Last patched" date older than 180 days. Instructions on how to run a report can be found here. After saving the report, use it for email alerts.

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
tblAssets.AssetName,
tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename,
tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
tblAssets.IPAddress,
tblAssetCustom.LastPatched
From tblAssets
Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype
Where tblAssetCustom.LastPatched < GetDate() - 180 And tblAssetCustom.State = 1
Order by tblAssetCustom.LastPatched

Thanks Daniel, will give that a try!

PS. I got 7 new post notification emails with the same info at the same time about your reply, odd.
