Just play around with PowerShell and some BizTalk administrative and maintenance tasks…
It’s always good to know what software is installed in our environment. Sometimes we need to know what version of BizTalk is installed or what version of the Adapter Pack, x86 or x64?
And preferably be able to get this list in an easy and automated way.
📝 One-Minute Brief
Auditing a BizTalk environment is essential for maintenance and compliance. Sandro Pereira shares a PowerShell script that automates the collection of installed BizTalk-related software inventory. By querying the Win32_Product WMI class, the script identifies BizTalk Server versions, Adapter Packs (x86/x64), and tools like the Best Practices Analyzer. It also retrieves the specific Product Edition (e.g., Developer, Enterprise) directly from the Windows Registry, providing a clear overview of the environment’s current state.
This is my first version of this script, and I will present how we can accomplish this using PowerShell:
$strComputer = "."
$arrVersions = "3.0.4902.0", "3.0.6070.0", "3.0.7405.0", "3.5.1602.0", "3.6.1404.0", "3.8.368.0", "3.9.469.0"
$location = get-location
$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_Product" -namespace "root\CIMV2" -computername $strComputer
foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {
$Caption = $objItem.Caption
if (($Caption -like "*BizTalk*") -and (($Caption -notlike "*BizTalk Server Setup*")))
{
write-host "Caption: " $objItem.Caption
write-host "Description: " $objItem.Description
write-host "Installation Date: " $objItem.InstallDate
write-host "Installation Location: " $objItem.InstallLocation
write-host "Name: " $objItem.Name
write-host "Version: " $objItem.Version
if( ($arrVersions -contains $objItem.Version) -like "True")
{
$bizTalkRegistryPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Server"
Set-Location $bizTalkRegistryPath
$key = Get-ChildItem
write-host "Product Edition: " $key.GetValue("ProductEdition")
Set-Location $location
}
write-host "Vendor: " $objItem.Vendor
write-host
}
}
