Question: Is it possible to put snowagent.config or .ps1 script on different drive besides the default Drive C:\ ? If so, what configuration is needed for Snow Agent to work?
Snow Inventory Agent 5.2.x and 6.x
Below I have documented 3 example test scenarios where I was successful in generating the snowpack. These tests were on a 5.2.0 and 6.7.0 versions of Snow Agent.
Test 1: Using Snow Agent version 5.2.0
In this test scenario I was able to generate the snowpack using the command below:
C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Inventory\Agent>snowagent.exe -c "E:\SystemState\Snowagentdata\snowagent.config" -w "E:\snowagentdata" -data-dir "C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Inventory\Agent\data"
NOTE: Using the above command I was able to generate the snowpack, however it seems the json files did not disappear.
Test 2: Using Snow Agent 6.7.0 version
In this test I was able to generate the snowpack using the command below:
C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Inventory\Agent>snowagent.exe -c "E:\SystemState\SnowAgentData\snowagent.config" -w "" -data-dir "E:\SystemState\SnowAgentData\data"
Test 3: Using Snow Agent version 6.7.0
In this test I was able to generate the snowpack using the command below:
C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Inventory\Agent>snowagent.exe -c "E:\SystemState\SnowAgentData\snowagent.config" -w "E:\SystemState\SnowAgentData" -data-dir "E:\SystemState\SnowAgentData\data"
