Multiple COmpanies

[gnohs]

Where can I find instructions on adding multiple companies to a centralized server? I can figure out how to do it with site-to-site vpns. But I would like different options on how to do this as site-to-site vpn tunnels will not work in my situation.

Thank You for your replies.

Everything is stored in the database. So even in order to start scanning, you need to have a database connection. Certain fields (like tblAssets.Lasttried or tblAssets.Lastseen) will be updated during each scan.

Do you know how the database works? The reason why I ask is for traffic reasons. Does the database update after each scan even if nothing has changed? Or does it stay stagnant if nothing has changed after the first major scan?

Either you scan network assets which are reachable from your Lansweeper server (this requires that ports required for scanning are open) or you use LsPush. This is a small executable which scans a Windows computer and sends the result back to your Lansweeper server using direct server connection (port 9524/TCP by default), file share or mail. You can find details here. It is possible to configure a scheduled task for running LsPush and deploy it via group policy.

Alternatively you could consider installing a local scanning server at the remote site and connect it to your central database server. This only requires a database connection (port 1433 TCP and UDP by default). You could stop Lansweeper service on the remote scanning servers during times where you have no connection at all. For multiple scanning servers you need a Lansweeper Ultimate, Corporate or MSP license.
