Here’s one result with example values for each property CheckIdĪmount of single use plans in cache is high This will give us a lot of results (at least my test instance did!) but they all share the same properties -we have CheckId, CheckName, HelpLink, Message, Severity, TargetPath, TargetType. Get-SqlInstance -ServerInstance $SQLInstance | Invoke-SqlAssessment $SQLInstance = “$ENV:COMPUTERNAME\SQL2014” Still working against the test instance on my laptop, we can run an assessment with this command So, how do we actually run an assessment then? Here we see properties relating to Statistics, Query Store, Indexes, Constraints etc. Get-SqlDatabase | Get-SqlAssessmentItem | Group-Object Set-Location SQLSERVER:\SQL\localhost\sql2014\databases # see what can be in the database assessment
We can see some of the assessments done on databases by running
#Sql 2012 express powershell module update
We get 45 results that point to instance level features such as TraceFlags usage, Deprecated Features, Extended Events sessions, update status, plan use and more. Set-location SQLSERVER:\SQL\localhost\sql2014 # see what can be in the instance assessment I have a SQL Server 2014 test instance on my laptop so I’ll use that Now that we have the cmdlets we need, let’s take a look at what they do, first of all let’s see the what Get-SQLAssessmentItem does. This should give us the results of: CommandType Get-Command -Module SqlServer -Name *sqlassessment* Let’s check that we have the two commands we need by listing the commands in the module with (We use -Scope CurrentUser to avoid having to run this as Administrator) Update-Module sqlserver -RequiredVersion 7 -Scope CurrentUser # get the latest (possibly prerelease) version of SQLServer module If you don’t see any results or you see any version older than 7 then you need to run Check if you have SQLServer already available with this command and check the Version information in the results How do we get the module?Īs the SQLServer module is published on the PowerShell Gallery it is available right at your command line. To solve this challenge you need to take a look at SQL Server Assessments, the latest thing in the SQL Server PowerShell module – available here on the PowerShell Gallery. He also speaks at and attends PowerShell and Data and AI conferences in the UK and Europe.Īs a side note – He help runs the SQLBits conference once a year. How can I automate this work?Ī: Hello AB, I know the very person that can answer that question for you. I have loads of SQL Servers in my area of responsibility and I know they all need certain configuration settings but I’m never confident that they are all set just right so I spend a long time every month visiting them all over RDP to give reassure myself. $SysAdmins | Export-Csv -Path ‘C:\temp\SQLSysAdminList.Summary: Using the SQLServer module cmdlets to review and monitor SQL Server instance and database configuration
Name, LoginType, CreateDate, DateLastModified $SQLUser | Select-Object = "SQLServer" Expression =, ` Write-Host "SysAdmins found: $($SQLUser.Name)" -ForegroundColor Yellow $SysAdmins = foreach($SQLUser in $SQLLogins) Open the CSV file, which by default could open an Excel application(if installed on machine).Search for SQL users with “SysAdmin” Role, and builds a customized information in a PSObject.
Basically, I’m using SQLPS module (now available with SQL Server 2012) which loads all the SMO needed to help you script against your SQL engine.
Here’s a quick way to start getting a list of SQL Server users having “SysAdmin” Role.
