Information

The scan-toad.ps1 script enhances the default scanning capabilities of the Snow Inventory Agent and allows the Software Recognition Service a more precise identification of installed Toad Database Developer products from Quest Software.

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-toad.ps1 -Debug -InformationAction 'Continue'.

Function

The script scans the user hive and machine hive for different registry keys of Quest and Dell products.

Additionally, it performs a scan for different Toad for Oracle 9.7-10.x license files, as defined on the Quest website Where are Toad for Oracle License keys stored.

With the found details, the script creates different software rows in the scan result.

The script also returns other values, stored in the registry locations for validation purposes. Those are returned as CustomRegKey in the following RegKeys:

  • HKEY_USERS\Software\Quest Software\TOAD*
  • HKEY_USERS\Software\Quest Software\Toad Data Point*
  • HKEY_USERS\Software\DELL\TOAD*
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Quest Software*
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\Quest Software*

It returns the script manifest using the name Scan-Toad.

MediumIntegrity

This script does need medium integrity to access the 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.
