I am looking for someting similar and I must not be searching correctly.

I was looking for either a T-SQL or WMI or even Powershell script that can scan a registry or server looking for specific SQL components.

I saw some references to xp_regread but I do not want to use that undocumentec procedure in a scheduled daily policy check.

I looked at the Script Repository but only found the VB scan tool.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
