Stap voor stap, met screenshots, video's en professionele tips.
Lansweeper Tutorial
This how to use Lansweeper tutorial walks you from first install to advanced reporting.
No formal training is required to follow along.
Lansweeper
See every device on your network within an hour of setup. Lansweeper finds hardware, software, and cloud assets automatically, with or without credentials. Start with the 14-day free trial — no sales call needed.
Getting Started with Lansweeper
Voordat u een functie kunt gebruiken, dient u deze eenmalige installatie te voltooien.
It takes about 3 minutes to begin.
Bekijk eerst dit korte overzicht:
Laten we nu elke stap eens doornemen.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to the Lansweeper site and sign up for the free trial.
Lansweeper offers a 14-day free trial with full capabilities.
✓ Controlepunt: Controleer uw inbox for the confirmation email.
Step 2: Install the Scanning Server
Download the installer and run it on a Windows machine.
Pick a server that stays online, since scanning runs on a schedule.
The installation finishes in minutes and opens the web console.
✓ Controlepunt: You should see the default dashboard.
Step 3: Configure Scanning Targets
Open Scanning, then add an IP range that covers your subnet.
IP range scanning targets every IP address inside that range.
Add a domain admin account under credentials for deeper Windows gegevens.
Credential-free scanning still returns basic asset data without any login.
✅ Klaar: Your first apparaten appear within minutes, ready for every feature below.
How to Use Lansweeper Operations Manager
Operations Management lets you run daily IT work from one place.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open het dashboard
Click Dashboard in the top navigation of the platform.
Step 2: Add Widgets You Care About
Pin widgets for disk space, uptime, and performance warnings.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Your widgets refresh with live data from the last scan.
Step 3: Share the View with Your Team
Save the dashboard, then share the link with helpdesk users.
✅ Resultaat: One screen shows the health of every critical asset type.
💡 Pro-tip: Build one dashboard per team so nobody scrolls past irrelevant widgets.
How to Use Lansweeper Asset Manager
Vermogensbeheer lets you track the full lifecycle of IT assets.
Lansweeper handles automatic discovery and inventory of hardware, software, and network devices.
Step 1: Review Your Discovered Assets
Open Assets and filter by device types such as servers or laptops.

Step 3: Tag and Group Assets
Lansweeper supports tagging and grouping assets for simpler reporting later.
Leave comments on any asset so context stays with the record.
✅ Resultaat: Every client machine now carries bedrijf context, not just technical data.
💡 Pro-tip: Agree on your asset taxonomy before tagging, or cleanup gets complex fast.
How to Use Lansweeper Service Manager
Servicebeheer lets you push accurate asset data into your helpdesk.
Stap 1: Open de pagina Integraties
Lansweeper integrates with IT Service Management tools to sync asset records.
Stap 2: Breng uw velden in kaart
Match Lansweeper fields to the ticket fields your agents already use.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: A test ticket shows live hardware details.
Step 3: Set the Sync Schedule
Run the sync nightly so ticket data never goes stale.
✅ Resultaat: Agents answer hardware questions without leaving the ticket.
💡 Pro-tip: Sync a small test group first before you deploy across the organization.
How to Use Lansweeper OT Convergence
OT Convergence lets you inventory factory and lab equipment safely.
Step 1: Define Your OT Scanning Targets
Add the production subnet as a separate scanning target.
Step 2: Use Credential-Free Discovery
Lansweeper can scan devices without administrative credentials, which suits fragile OT gear.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Controllers and sensors appear beside your normal IT assets.
Step 3: Map the Relationships
Group OT devices by line or site to show relationships clearly.
✅ Resultaat: One inventory now covers both IT and operational technology.
💡 Pro-tip: Schedule OT scans outside production hours to protect performance.
How to Use Lansweeper Cybersecurity
Cyberbeveiliging lets you close the blind spots attackers look for.
Step 1: Run a Rogue Device Report
Filter assets that appeared this week but have no owner.
Step 2: Check Software and Patch Levels
Reports can monitor beveiliging posture, hardware inventory, and software compliance together.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Outdated software shows with the exact device count.
Step 3: Schedule the Report by Email
Email the report weekly so security keeps visibility without asking you.
✅ Resultaat: Unknown devices on the corporate network get spotted in days, not months.
💡 Pro-tip: Multiple discovery methods cut blind spots more than any single method.
How to Use Lansweeper Framework
Framework Compliance lets you prove control coverage with saved reports.
Stap 1: Open de Rapportgenerator
Het rapport bouwer writes the query for you as you click.
Step 2: Build a Control Report
For example, list every machine missing disk encryption.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The report returns rows you can export for auditors.
Step 3: Track Warranties and Licences
Lansweeper can monitor hardware warranty expirations and software licence compliance.
✅ Resultaat: Audit evidence takes minutes instead of a week of spreadsheets.
💡 Pro-tip: Clone a built-in report instead of starting from an empty query.
How to Use Lansweeper Developer Portal
Developer Portal lets you pull asset data into your own tools.
Stap 1: Genereer een API-sleutel
Create the key inside your account settings and store it safely.
Step 2: Run Your First Query
Test a simple asset query in the portal before writing any code.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: You get a clean JSON response with asset data.
Step 3: Feed Another System
Send that data into a warehouse, CMDB, or internal site.
✅ Resultaat: Your inventory becomes a source other teams can query.
💡 Pro-tip: Request only the fields you need to keep API calls fast.
How to Use Lansweeper Technology Partners
Technology Partners lets you connect the tools you already pay for.
Step 1: Browse the Connector List
Cloud connectors cover AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments.
Step 2: Link a Cloud Environment
Lansweeper links cloud environments through API connectors for full inventory.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Cloud instances appear as normal assets in your list.
Step 3: Reconcile Duplicates
Merge records where one device arrived from two sources.
✅ Resultaat: On-premise and cloud assets sit in a single inventory.
💡 Pro-tip: Connect one cloud account first, then review data quality before adding more.
How to Use Lansweeper Orchestration Tool
Orkestratie lets you trigger action automatically when asset data changes.
Step 1: Pick a Trigger
Choose an event such as a new device joining the network.
Step 2: Define the Workflow
Set what happens next, like an alert or a ticket.
✓ Controlepunt: A test event fires the workflow once.
Stap 3: Laat het draaien
Automatisering features speed up inventory updates and data reconciliation.
✅ Resultaat: Routine asset admin runs without anyone touching it.
💡 Pro-tip: Start with alerts only, then add write actions once you trust the data.
Lansweeper Pro Tips and Shortcuts

- Asset comments: Log why a device is exempt, so future audits get an easy answer.
Lansweeper Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Scanning Everything on Day One
❌ Fout: Pointing Lansweeper at every subnet before you understand the results.
✅ Rechts: Prepare a network map, then scan one range and check accuracy.
Mistake #2: Relying on One Scanning Method
❌ Fout: Using agentless scanning only, then missing remote laptops entirely.
✅ Rechts: Lansweeper supports agentless and agent-based scanning, so use both.
Mistake #3: Never Auditeren the Inventory
❌ Fout: Trusting the asset list for a year without checking it.
✅ Rechts: Run regular audits of inventory accuracy and fix stale records.
Lansweeper Troubleshooting
These are the common errors I hit most often.
Problem: Windows devices show as unknown
Oorzaak: The initial connection uses TCP port 135, and the firewall blocks it.
Repareren: Allow TCP port 135 plus WMI ports 1025-5000 and 49152-65535.
Problem: A device returns only basic data
Oorzaak: Credential-free scanning ran because no working credentials matched that asset.
Repareren: Map the right credentials to that IP range and rescan.
Problem: Remote laptops stop updating
Oorzaak: Those machines rarely reach the scanning server.
Repareren: Deploy LsAgent, which transmits data securely over the internet.
📌 Opmerking: If none of these fix your issue, contact Lansweeper support.
