We need to move Lansweeper to a new computer which will be running Windows 7 Pro. It is currently running on a Windows XP Pro computer. We have an external SQL database that has our Lansweeper data. What steps should we take in moving Lansweeper to the new computer? We are using version 5166. Thanks 🙂

Hi,

If you will just be moving the Lansweeper service and web console, do the following:

• Delete or disable the Lansweeper service on your current server.
• Run the script below in the Lansweeper web console under Configuration\Scanning Setup\Database Scripts, replacing NewServer with the NetBIOS name of your new scanning server.

update tsysasservers set servername = 'NewServer'
GO
update tblassets set scanserver = 'NewServer'
GO

• Run the Lansweeper installer on your new server, choose New Installation\Advanced Install and configure the installer exactly as shown below. DO NOT check the checkbox in front of “Lansweeper Database”, or you’ll be overwriting your existing database.

• Point the installer to your existing database when prompted. Connection details can be found in Program Files (x86)\Lansweeper\Service\Lansweeperservice.exe.config on your old scanning server.
• Update the Action Path listed in the Lansweeper web console under Configuration\Website Management\Asset Pages. Your Action Path indicates where the Lansweeper web console will try to locate your custom action executables.
