how do i get it to proactively go out and do its work
It does not do this by design.
In an "average" network a lot of windows XP machines are firewalled, misconfigured, ...
With lsclient in a loginscript you can find all these machines (even the firewalled ones) and know which ones are not properly configured. (even if they only come to the network once a month)
Actively scanning is intrusive and misses all devices turned off or firewalled at the moment of scanning.

And active scanning *finds* "forgotten" machines that no one has logged into for a while. An option for both is ideal. If I want to scan 4,000 machines over a weekend for a new client -- I really don't want to have to log all of them in. I want to active scan.

Actually got spiceworks working yesterday, with no problems. unfortunately, i'd rather use lansweeper, as i'd rather have my data stored on my server, not theirs, but I guess you can't have it all, right?
Lansweeper's promising, just not there yet for me. Good luck with it.

This is what i use to do a "Scan Now" on the computer profile page so it pretty much renders lstrigger useless. I run this each time after uninstalling IBM Director and it does the refresh perfectly and in a metter on seconds. If you need help setting it up, msg me and i'll help out

It appears from what I can tell, that if you want to scan *right now*, the free version doesn't allow that, which is kinda lame. Seems you have to wait for some random time/checkin to occur. There is an lstrigger command for pay customers, but nothing for us checking it out.
I've added my pc's in and have dropped the check/scan time down to 1 day via the GUI console -- not sure how useful that will be.
For now, however, I'm staring at an unimpressive array of blank pages in the GUI -- disappointing.
