Initial Scan

2 minute read

With the first start of Docusnap the Initial Scan opens to inventory basic data. If the initial scan should not be executed, it can be closed by clicking on the Cancel button.

In the ribbon Inventory the Initial Scan can be opened again.

In the step Authentication the company has to be selected in which the data should be stored. For an Active Directory domain authentication, enter the domain name in the Domain field. Whether it is necessary to enter your username and password depends on the following:

If you are logged on to the Docusnap computer as a domain administrator, you can use the integrated Windows authentication for the inventory process. This means that there is no need to enter a username and password.
If you are logged on to the Docusnap computer as a user other than a domain administrator, you need to specify the corresponding credentials.

If you need to enter your credentials for authentication, the NetBIOS name, followed by a backslash (), must precede the user name. For example, the NetBIOS name of the domain named docusnap.intern is DOCUSNAP. Therefore, you would have to enter the following user name: DOCUSNAP<UserName> Alternatively the form @Docusnap can be used.

To perform the Initial Scan, a Discovery Service must be selected.

Click the Next button to log on to the Active Directory. If the login was successful, you can proceed with the next step.
