ª Local tracking using IT Agent: Windows, Linux and macOS.
Remote discovery (Windows, Linux and macOS): On Linux, Windows discovery is limited to Credential-free Device Recognition (CDR). Full data discovery (software, user info, ...) is planned but not yet available and will require remote WinRM on Windows assets.
Active Directory discovery is not supported on Linux sensors due to connectivity incompatibilities with domain controllers.
ᵇ Local tracking using LsAgent: Windows, Linux and macOS
Remote scanning: Windows only
ᶜ Currently in beta; you might see duplicates if you're also using Lansweeper Classic scanning in your site. No duplicates if you're only using Network, IT Agent, or Cloud Discovery.
