This document outlines how to run a DPDTrace. This may be necessary when troubleshooting detection issues.
| Steps |
|---|
DPD stands for Dynamic Product Detection. It’s the method our scan engine uses to determine what supported products are installed on the machine.This tool was created for troubleshooting patch scan issues where we need to know what is going on during the DPD process.
Note- .Net Framework v4.0.30319 or newer needs to be installed for this to work
- Download DPDTrace.zip and extract the file into a folder on the root of C:\
- Read Disclaimer.txt.
- Open Command Prompt and change directory to the DPDTrace folder.
- Enter the following command, replacing {MACHINE_NAME} {ADMIN_USER_NAME} {PASSWORD} and {PATCHTYPE} with corresponding values. ({MACHINE_NAME} has to be the Target machine that is having the detection problem
DPDTrace.bat {MACHINE_NAME} {ADMIN_USER_NAME} {PASSWORD} {PATCHTYPE} {VERSION}
- VERSION is optional. If it is not specified, it will use the 9.0.651 scan engine. Possible values:
- 7.8.5
- 8.0.43
- 9.0.651
- Failure to supply any one of these values ({MACHINE_NAME} {ADMIN_USER_NAME} and {PASSWORD}) will cause the test to fail.
- {ADMIN_USER_NAME} needs to be in the format domain\username
- {PATCHTYPE} has the following possible values:
- 1 - Security patches
- 4 - Security tools
- 8 - Non-Security patches
- 9 - Security and non-security patches
- 13 - Security, non-security and tools
- If you want to use a specific hf7b.xml, just copy it into the Extracted folder\HF7B.
6. When the command line is run, a window titled 'Rename HF.1 Log' will appear with an OK button. Do not close this window as the scan continues.
7. When the scan has completed the command prompt window will say 'Test Complete Please zip up HFCLi folder and send it back to us'. At this point zip the directory "C:\DPDTrace\HFCLI" and send it back for analysis.
