Uptime timezone offset and Options window bugs
3 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
It appears that the "Retrieve Computer Uptime" option on the "Workstation" tab of program options is calculating remote system uptime relative to my local PC's offset from GMT. I am on the west coast of the USA (presently GMT -07), all scanned computers show at least 7 hours uptime, even when rebooted seconds ago. Also, if the Network scanner window is placed at the top of
Re: Variable for the current IP
4 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
I change from LAN connected, to Wi-Fi connected and across different locations enough during a day that DNS can't ever keep up. Anything I would execute on the remote system where I don't know how long it will take to complete, but I want the report or log file back when it's done. Or utilities I remote execute from a share on my system because I can't risk accidentally leaving a copy behind where

Just a few suggestions for the GUI. Importing IP Addresses/Host Names: +Add an option to APPEND the imported list to the IP Address Input Panel +Add ability to alter the default options for the "Import IP/Host Names" process. Barring that, having the program remember the previous options used would work for me. I rarely change which options I select, but I must change them every

Could you add a variable to represent the IP address of the computer running Netscan for use in Remote Scripting, Applications and other areas? Similar to how %0 inserts the remote system IP, but this variable would insert the Netscan host's IP. It would need some way to handle multiple adapters/addresses. Right now my system is connected to a VPN (10.247.0.165/32), Ethernet LAN (192.168.13.52/

Launch it with the switch "/range:v4". \netscan.exe /range:v4 Netscan will open with the current IPv4 subnet in the scan range.
Re: Using column values in RegEx
4 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
I am still seeing this blank script column issue. Here's my scenario: Script "Model" uses "strComputer = Input.Current" and executes a WMI query for the PC Model (("SELECT Model FROM Win32_ComputerSystem") The returned string would be something like "OptiPlex 7050" or "Latitude E5450" This is passed through the Column Display RegEx to strip away
Re: How to display Windows version

Thanks! My grandson LOVES dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets so they were on my mind. By the way, VB isn't my strongest language. Is there a way to make these scripts use a sort of 'fail-over' on the strComputer variable? Have it use Input.Column(PC Name) first, but if it encounters an error try again with Input.Current?
Ctrl+Click-drag selection bug: one item is dropped
5 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
Hi. This one has pestered me for a while, and since one of my other recent "I thought that was obvious" type of suggestions got traction, I figured I should throw this in the mix. Assuming you are running Netscan on a Windows PC (Mine is Win 10, build 14393) Run a scan and get results, at least 5, but preferably many results because we like results, and it's easier to see the bug.

I use Remote Scripting for this. It still queries WMI, but I can manipulate the results to fit into the neat little compartments required by my Corporate Overlords. This is paired in a Virtual Column with another query which grabs the OS Name, manipulates the raw data returned and produces dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. 'Display OS Build Number On Error Resume Next strComputer = Input.

Just had time to check back on this. I'm surprised nobody suggested this before, I figured I was going to get an eye roll. Downloaded the new build, so far it works great!

Mostly WMI and the Remote Scripting.
Authenticate with remote PC's local account
5 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
Is there any way to enter credentials which will be used to authenticate as a local account against a remote PC? I am scanning from PC1, which is an AD domain connected PC, and I am signed in using my AD account. Sometimes I need to scan a PC which has become disconnected from AD, or is a stand-alone PC. In these cases, I need to use credentials for an account which is local to the remote PC.
Suggestion: Refreshing Virtual Columns
5 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
Suggestion: Refreshing Virtual Columns It would be great if when a virtual column is refreshed the program knew that it needed to refresh the source columns first. Example: My V-column is programmed as " | ", both are WMI Queries. If fails to populate, the Vcolumn will display "465 GB | - " Refreshing doesn't change anything because wasn't refreshed and is still
More flexible Column View highlighting
6 years ago, by MurMan in Network Scanner Forum
A few ideas for the Change Column View options... 1: Can we get font styles (Bold, Italic) as highlighting options in addition to font color? 2: Reference other columns as highlighting condition values. I would like to be able to permanently configure the Hostname column to highlight if it doesn't contain the column. This can already be done using the filters, but I would like to be able

Bizmarkie, you weren't crazy at all. I was having the exact same issue after the first 7.0.8 update. I'm running a Laptop with an Intel i7 quad-core, 16 GB RAM and 2GB nVidia GT720M graphics under Windows 10 Pro. I was getting ready to report this issue, but have been so busy using Netscan that I haven't had time to report the issue. That's a bit ironic. My Netscan runs 22 columns. Som
