Lansweeper is a powerful freeware solution without any embedded ads to make a complete software, hardware, asset inventory of your windows network.

Changelog:

• Lansweeper can now be installed on Windows 2008 servers and on SQL 2008.
• Most database fields have been changed to Unicode to support special characters.
• Memory information for computers is now scanned (Banks used, speed, memory type, ...)
• You can now use custom filled in information for all your computers (purchase date, warranty date, location, order number, ....)
• You can now manually change the state of each scanned computer (Active,sold,stolen,broken,...) This can be used to archive old computers instead of deleting them, it can also be used to create custom reports based on the state of the computer.
• The service status and scanned computers can now be monitored from the web interface.
• Version information from scanned files can now be monitored from the web interface.
• Scanned registry values can now be monitored from the web interface.
• Database timeouts problems on slower servers have been solved.

• Support for Vendor support links which searches on model names instead of asset tags (Hewlett Packard,IBM,...)
• The service now scans by default on the FQDN of the computer instead of the IP address (which sometimes caused remote lookup failures)
• Remote registry scanning now uses WMI : this means the remote registry service is not required anymore. (it was disabled by default on vista)

• The connectiontester has been updated to scan for the needed WMI access.
