Software
Registry and file detection
Products can be identified through installed entries, files and individually extended detection rules.
Inventory management
Multiple scan paths. One central data set.
Lan-Inspector Enterprise is designed for a fast start: scan reachable systems actively and in parallel, complement hard-to-reach devices through alternative methods and use the results immediately.
About 10 minutesTypical installation time before the first productive scan.
5,000 systemsIn suitable infrastructure, active inventory in about 20–30 minutes.
Combine scan methodsActive scan, scan on logon and e-mail inventory address different gaps.
Analyze immediatelyCollected data is directly available for searches, license balances and reports.
Performance depends on network architecture, reachability, server resources and administrative permissions.
Active network scan
Inventory large Windows environments directly and in parallel.
Administrators select a computer, location or complete branch and start inventory collection immediately. The parallel scan engine can contact many systems at the same time, while Scanboost and network load settings adapt processing to the environment. With suitable infrastructure and administrative permissions, approximately 5,000 systems can be inventoried in about 20–30 minutes.
The collected data is immediately available for searches, license balances and reports. This allows even large enterprise environments to become transparent very quickly, without a mandatory multi-week implementation or consulting phase before the first useful results are available.
- Scan individual computers or complete branches
- Parallel processing for large Windows networks
- Scan diagnostics and status analysis for unreachable systems
- Automation through Enterprise scheduling
Passive scan path
Capture devices that appear only briefly on the network.
Scan on logon can complement active network scans when systems are not reliably reachable for direct scanning. Inventory collection is triggered when a user signs in, allowing notebooks and intermittently connected devices in particular to flow into the same central data set.
- Complements active scans for intermittently connected devices
- Uses user logon as a passive collection point
- Suitable for notebooks and systems with changing reachability
- Results feed into the same central inventory data set
E-mail inventory
Include branches, home offices and globally distributed systems.
The e-mail capable agent checks for Internet connectivity and sends encrypted inventory data to a specified company mailbox. Lan-Inspector extracts the attachments and imports the data into the central inventory database.
- Inventory without a direct connection to the corporate network
- Encrypted inventory data and optional TLS-secured mail delivery
- Central mailbox workflow with import into the database
- Suitable for field notebooks, isolated systems and distributed locations
Discovery & structure
Find devices and evaluate them along the real organization.
Active Directory, IP ranges and additional discovery methods provide the objects. The freely nested location tree represents companies, sites, departments and groups and scopes later queries to the required area.
From the computer pool into the right structure
Discovered systems can be assigned by drag and drop. Searches, queries, license balances and reports can then target individual locations, groups or complete branches.
Inventory depth
Technical working data, not just software lists.
Lan-Inspector Enterprise combines registry and file-based detection with detailed hardware and system information. The result extends far beyond a simple application list.
Hardware
Details down to DMI level
CPU, memory slots, storage devices, serial numbers, partitions and further hardware data are collected in a structured form.
System
Accounts, services, shares and processes
Local accounts, services, shares and running processes are available directly on each computer object.
Files
File scans and custom searches
File inventories, executables and freely defined search criteria extend software inventory.
Fast analysis
Move from the overall estate to a single computer.
Prepared views and custom queries answer questions such as: Where is product X installed? Where is it missing? Which hardware is affected? Which services, shares or processes run on a system? Results can be opened in Excel or saved as report templates.
Next step
Turn the discovered actual state into a defensible license balance.
Combine technical installation data with license stock, metrics and actual usage.
