Symantec Management Agent Version Detection

[Hagai Nachmani]

Hi Experts,
looking for the fastest way to extract the correct version of the SMA installed on end target.
when looking in add/remove you see "Symantec Management Agent" and a build number next to it, (which is the exact version you see when you open the SMA), however, this version doesn't appear when you try to search for the services running and / or if you search for the software name using WMIC command.

what is the best practice that know using a command line which SMA version is currently installed on a target?

tnx,
Hagai

Running this powershell command will get you the Altiris version installed...

 $Altiris = New-Object -ComObject Altiris.AeXClient -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
write-host $Altiris.Version -ForegroundColor Green

Not a Problem Hagai

I found a better powershell command that includes the plugins as well

Get-CimInstance AltirisAgent_Agents | select Name , version

Thank you WDRAIN1,
Actually the previous one is better, since it gives only the SMA version, so we have something to compare to the EXE https file as well.

In this new option they are multiple choices and different build numbers....

Thanks again!

Tnx,
Hagai

Actually all agents versions are stored in database and updated after every basic inventory from managed client computers. So all information can be checked from database

For example, using simple query

SELECT
ide.[Name],
ide.[OS Name],
ide.[OS Type],
ide.[DisplayVersion],
ca.[Agent Name],
ca.[Product Version] AS [Agent Version],
ca.[64 Bit]

FROM Inv_AeX_AC_Client_Agent ca
JOIN Inv_AeX_AC_Identification ide
ON ca._ResourceGuid = ide._ResourceGuid
