I've been researching the forum for a while now and I don't know if it's because I'm multitasking like crazy today or if I'm just crazy but I can't figure out something. Why aren't any of the fields populating after I do the lsclient myserver? I do that command (obviously putting the server name in place of myserver) and LANSweeper sees the machine but doesn't retrieve any information from it. I can't click any of the links on the action page or anything. I just set this up today so when I say I'm a newb, I mean I'm really a newb.
Thanks!!

1) Try the connectiontester.
2) Check for errors in the "errorlog.txt" in your service folder

I'm a little rusty on my SQL so bare with me here. When I set this up and I try to log into the management console, what usn/pwd do I use? These are all really old errors too. I can connect into the web console but nothing is updating. When I do the connection test it works fine.

I think what I need to do is the initial scan of systems that I keep seeing in other posts. I don't know how to do that.

I'm trying to do the same thing.
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.

This is completely untrue, the free version if fully functional. You need to use lsclient.exe on your clients and the service will scan immediately. If Lansweeper database contains your computer but no extra information, this means that the service is working but that it is unable to get any info from your computers. For this use can use the connectiontester to check for permission/firewall problems.

\\server\share$\psexec.exe \\{computer} -u admin -p pass %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\LSclient.exe myserver
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

I had just looked at "Lansweeper does not need to install a client on your workstations, all scanning is done through the use of WMI, fileshares and remote registry access." on your front page, and presumed I didn't need to run a client on the workstations. I looked through the forums, and didn't find, but would suggest, a "sticky" post that answers some basic "how do I run my first scan" type questions. That would be incredibly helpful for folks getting started. Would also make sense to make it a part of the install -- a short "getting started" pdf/read me at the end that gave people the info to get going. kaarde wrote:\\server\share$\psexec.exe \\{computer} -u admin -p pass %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\LSclient.exe myserver

For those who may be following this thread -- psexec is a Sysinternals (bought by MS) tools: Google if this is outaded: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspxYou can also download the pstools package which has other incredibly useful utilities.

Still no data, though it said "success" after trying your psexec line...
ErrorLog.txt shows:
6/4/2008 7:12:42 AM : Database connection successful, starting up service

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.

Hmm ... I've been absolutetly swamped today migrating exchange servers remotely but I'll try this tomorrow. What's weird though is that the connection tester goes through successfully so I can't imagine it's a firewall problem. Thanks for the help though!
