How to confirm ADS installed on a machine, and what to check when the results are not what you expect

Confirm that Agentic Development Security (ADS) installed correctly on a machine: check that the installer is present, then confirm that the machine appears in Evo.

Check that the installer is present

These checks apply to package installs, which leave the installer at a fixed path.

macOS

/usr/local/bin/snyk-ads/snyk-ads-installer --version
pkgutil --pkg-info io.snyk.ads-installer

Windows

& "C:\Program Files\Snyk\ADS Installer\snyk-ads-installer-windows-x86_64.exe" --version

For a managed mode install on Windows, run the check from an elevated PowerShell session.

A command-line install on macOS or Linux deletes the installer when it finishes, so there is nothing to check on the machine. Confirm those installs in Evo instead.

Managed mode on Windows

After Intune reports the app as installed, confirm the products are in place. Run these commands from an elevated PowerShell session, because managed mode places the products in machine-wide paths owned by the system:

& "C:\Program Files\Snyk\ADS Installer\snyk-ads-installer-windows-x86_64.exe" --version
Get-ChildItem "$env:ProgramFiles\Snyk\ADS\ads-scan\bin" -File | Select-Object Name, Length
Get-ChildItem "$env:ProgramData\Snyk\ads-scan" -File | Select-Object Name, Length
schtasks /Query /TN "\Snyk\ADS\" /V /FO LIST 2>$null | Select-String "TaskName|Run As User"

Run As User for the scheduled task shows BUILTIN\Users rather than one specific account. That is the machine-wide principal that applies the scan to every local user.

The scheduled task exists only when Machines is on version 0.6.8 or later. On an earlier version the query returns nothing, which does not mean the install failed.

If a machine is missing from Evo

The first scan runs when the installer runs, so a machine appears in Evo once that run finishes. If it does not, check the causes in Troubleshooting: an unpublished configuration, a failed onboarding step, or the wrong region.

If none of these applies, collect the output from the installer run and your Tenant ID, and contact your Snyk account team.
