Issue
The SQL Server 2000 installations shows up without mention to the edition in SnowInventory & License Manager.
The SQL Server 2000 installations shows up without mention to the edition in SnowInventory & License Manager.
The custom registry keys is collected but it's still not being display in "Software > Installed Applications" view in Snow Inventory. So the following view SnowInventory.inv.datasoftwareview2 only shows this as microsoft sql server 2000.
See attached screenshot and spreadsheet. It has been identified that this happens because the Edition is collected outside of the path for CurrentVersion/Version.
Edition/EditionType needs to be stored in same path as CurrentVersion/Version to create a row in inv.datageneratesoftware
Environment
- Snow Inventory Server 5.1.03
- License Manager 8.0.09
- SQL server 2000 Developer Edition
Resolution
The "Edition" string will have to be created under the same path as CurrentVersion in the registry as shown below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\CurrentVersion]
"CurrentVersion"="8.00.194"
"Edition"="Developer Edition"
"CurrentVersion"="8.00.194"
"Edition"="Developer Edition"
Cause
Custom installation package of the SQL Server.
