I would very much like to:

Print a report with the uptime for all computers so if there are computers which do not go off power every day i get a email.

Where the admin logs in
Who is connecting to the network (not to the domain so lets say a strange computer is connecting thru a network cable give me a alert. Although lansweeper cannot login because has no rights i see that he is connecting...

List of software is now per computers. I would like to see the username with it.

Here are my two pennys worth:

*Have the computer actions as part of the application
*More integration into AD with workflows, user account create, email account creation
*Role features in LS to restrict certain people from seeing certain areas of the software

Scan AD for accounts with various features such as:
*non expiry passwords
*accounts not being used for a period of time (computer and user accounts)

Scheduling features:
*schedule backups of SQL DBs
*Restarting of servers on select days

Keep up the GREAT work!

Any plans to increase the feature-set of software asset management/inventory?

One big helpful thing would be the ability to distinguish whether purchased software is OEM, Retail or VLA, since the cost is different and so are the license terms.

Even better would be the option to specify what OEM software a workstation is licensed for (by identifying number), so that if the computer is re-purposed/renamed, you will still know what it is licensed for.

License compliance management will be greatly expanded in Lansweeper version 5.0. We do not yet have a release date for this version.


Mac and Linux support will be expanded in Lansweeper version 5.0 as well.

A way to scan MAC address on different subnet. Perhaps a small agent we can run on a remote pc or a special option in LSPUSH that does a quick netscan/ping of the targeted pc subnet and reports back the arp results to the server as a reference tool?

I basically need this to keep track of IP phones that are not scannable on a remote subnet.

OK, I get that software management will be greatly expanded in version 5 and no release date yet.

In this expanded software management, I would like to see:

Addition of tracking for maintenance cost in addition to license purchase price. This could be kept as a child table with different entries by maintenance term which would also track maintenance expiration. If entries are made for a future period, we should also be able to mark entries as actually paid as opposed to just budget planning. Unpaid items could be reported on to make sure that maintenance was actually renewed and not missed. (This model could probably be easily applied to computer and device maintenance as well.)

A method to add custom software definitions for programs that do not add an entry to the current locations that are scanned. This could be file or registry scanning to detect these programs and allow them to be added into the software inventory. (What are the current locations that are scanned for software - is it just the uninstall entries?)

Custom definitions may also help those people that want to more finely track software suites. Perhaps eventually it could expand into a child category for software of software modules.

Please refer to this forum thread for information on detecting IE9 installations.
