Information
The scan-Microsoft-SQLServer.snow-ps1 script enhances the default scanning capabilities of the Snow Inventory Agent and allows the Software Recognition Service a more precise identification of installed Microsoft SQL Server editions.
This script must be executed as part of the Snow Inventory Agent for Windows, according to the Snow online documentation portal topic “Running PowerShell scripts as part of the scanning process” (https://docs.snowsoftware.com/snow-inventory/en/UUID-e3347090-a773-a05d-2e2c-ce197cd00a26.html#UUID-e3347090-a773-a05d-2e2c-ce197cd00a26_section-idm4654689347998432654961020269 ).
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 online Help topic “Command line” (https://docs.snowsoftware.com/snow-inventory/en/UUID-50e53305-fd4c-eca1-94c8-c08949b593f0.html )
This script scans the ERRORLOG file within the SQL Server directory, which contains the accurate version and edition information.
With the found details, the script creates different software rows in the scan result.
