Information
The scan-dotnetframework.ps1 is developed to facilitate the retrieval of .NET Framework version data from the Windows registry on local machines. By analyzing the registry entries for .NET Framework installations, the script aims to provide detailed information on the installed versions, enhancing the efficiency of software management processes.
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. Otherwise the results will not be included in the snowpack.
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.
For debugging purposes, the script can be executed manually and supports common parameters, so you will receive detailed logs using the command scan-dotnetframework.ps1 -Debug -InformationAction 'Continue'.
Function
The script retrieves the active .NET Framework version from the registry and traverses specified registry paths to detect installed .NET Framework versions. It includes the following steps:
Retrieve Active Version: Queries the registry to get the active .NET Framework version.
Traverse Registry Paths: Iterates through specified registry paths to find installed .NET Framework versions.
Log Findings: Logs the discovered .NET Framework installations, including version and status (active or inactive).
The default registry paths targeted by the script are:

The script logs detailed information about each detected .NET Framework installation, including whether it is the active version.
It returns the script manifest using the name scan-dotnetframework.
