Default Browser

[mc_connected]

For computer assets--at least Windows ones--is it possible to show each one's default web browser, including the version?

Yeah, it will be based on the user used to scan the asset. Browser settings are user specific after all so I don't know if there is a workaround for that.

The only way I can see to do this would include some more custom database work. Basically, you could scan the registry key that you mentioned to scan the user ID. Once scanned, you can use an SQL script to create new custom registry scanning targets.

For example: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4219328981-2174278074-3449214681-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\https\UserChoice\ProgId

That way you could always scan the last user's default browser even if you are using an admin account to scan. You would obviously have to change the report I linked a bit to compensate.

Amazing! Thank you for this.

You'll find this funny (I hope)... At first, I was going to reply that the report is not working correctly because it reported my work computer's default browser as Edge when it is actually Chrome. Then I realized why: I typically run lspush.exe on a scheduled task using the local Administrator account. Ugh! I guess I need to run under the end-user's account, if I want this report to be useful.

Perhaps there is a way around this using:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\LastLoggedOnUserSID

It is with a custom registry scan. I was going to post a report anyway later this week about it, so I just finished it real quick. You can find it here: https://www.lansweeper.com/forum/yaf_postsm57325_Default-Browser-and-Version.aspx
