Information

This release introduces enhancements to the script's functionality for identifying and categorizing Episerver licenses installed on the local machine. The script is divided into two main sections to comprehensively analyze both the IIS site configuration and the contents of the License.config file.

The script must be executed as part of the Snow Inventory Agent for Windows, according to the topic Running PowerShell scripts as part of the scanning process on Snow Docs.

In the case that you want to run a manual scan, this script must be executed with appropriate permissions, so execute it using only sc.exe control SnowInventoryAgent5 128, as described in the Windows Agent - Command line topic on Snow Docs.

Function

In the first section, the script operates from an IIS-site perspective, where it checks for the presence of any Episerver IIS-sites on the local machine. Upon detection of Episerver IIS-sites, the script navigates to the physical path of each site to search for the EpiServer.dll file. Subsequently, it extracts product name and version information from the identified EpiServer.dll file.

The second section of the script involves a detailed analysis of the license configuration. It filters the License.config file to extract relevant licensing information. Specifically, it targets the value of MultiSiteRestriction.Limit within the License.config file. Based on this value, the script brands the data accordingly: if the value is greater than 1, it is categorized as a MultiSite license, whereas if the value equals 1, it is identified as a SingleSite license.

MediumIntegrity

This script does need medium integrity to find access registry hives of other users.

Troubleshooting

Custom encryption might need to be applied to this script when running on Snow Inventory Agent for Windows prior to version 7, as it will not be executed in medium integrity.

NEW

  • Snow Inventory Agent for Windows 7 support.
  • The script is now signed by Snow Software AB.

DEPRECATED

  • There will be no encrypted snow-ps1 version of this script provided by Snow Software.
