Om Windows-machines in het netwerk in kaart te brengen, kun je gebruikmaken van Lansweeper. Dit programma installeert zich op een server met IIS en is in staat om de aanwezige software en hardware te inventariseren, zonder daarvoor op elke computer een clientprogramma te installeren. Alle informatie is vervolgens via een webinterface te raadplegen, zoals op deze demopagina is uit te proberen. Lansweeper is beschikbaar in een freeware- of verschillende paywaresmaken, die op deze pagina naast elkaar zijn gezet. De ontwikkelaar heeft versie 4.0 uitgebracht en voorzien van de volgende lijst aanpassingen:
