Command line

You can scan computers by executing the Agent application Alvao.AgentService.exe from command line.

Parameters​

  • /dd - performs hardware scan of the computer where the Agent is run.
  • /dsw - performs full software scan including files on all hard drives without exceptions.
  • /dssw - performs normal software scan. All scans named above can be started at the same time and the Agent will run them one after another.
  • /f [path] - output folder where the scan files will be saved . If this parameter is not specified, the path specified in the Agent settings (the Settings option after starting the Agent from the Windows Start menu) is used.
  • /l [file] - the agent will generate a log to the file specified after the parameter.
  • /v [number] - logging detail will be set to the specified level (only works with the /l parameter). Levels: 0 = Status and errors, 1 = Normal, 2 = Full.
  • /s - the agent will start covertly, i.e. no information window will be displayed on the screen.
  • /h - a help window for command line parameters will be displayed.

Output files​

The application generates output files with the .scan extension. The names of files are automatically created by adding the suffix _sw for software scan, _sw_full for full software scan, and _hw for hardware scan after the computer name. For example - output files from a computer PC102 have names: PC102_sw.scan, PC102_sw_full.scan, and PC102_hw.scan.

Example​

Alvao.AgentService.exe /dd /dssw /f D:\Scan

The application performs hardware and normal software scan, and saves the scan files to the D:\Scan folder.
