Hello,
we just installed the latest Lansweeper (3.1) as a test, and noticed that it does not make a difference between Windows Server 2003 and the R2 versions. As we would like to keep track of installed licenses of the various Windows flavours, this makes it unusable to us.
Funnily enough, if I view a R2 server, and go to Configuration Browser -> Recovery, I can see at the "Name" part that it actually is R2, but nowhere else in the console is this information shown.
Is there any way to make lansweeper to differentiate between the versions ?
best regards

The value is "R2"

Thanks for the tip!
I'm new to lansweeper, is there an easy way to add this information to the dashboard/software reports/OS license comliance ?
Am asking, because management wants an overview of the licensing situation, and R2 is a different software license than the non-R2 2003 Servers.

You can create a custom report (a sample sql file can be found in the reports forum)
I'll add your other license question to the whishlist for next release.
