Sometime back, I was involved in a project that consisted in collecting information for the servers we are supporting – creating an inventory of servers. Logging into each server and collecting information is a bit tedious when you have hundreds of servers in your environment. I have spent sometime creating a script that does this work for me; however, I still need to connect to the server – but using SSMS/Query Window – and execute the script. And then the script will provide me the details I need. Please remember this script is enabling xp_cmdshell and disabling it back, before you run this script if this is acceptable in your environment.
This inventory should have details like below for cluster and stand alone instances:
Server Name
OS Name
OS Edition
OS Patch Level
SQL Server IP
Is Clustered
Node1_Name
Node1_IP
Node2_Name
Node2_IP
SQL Server Edition
SQL Server Patch Level
Server Time Zone
SQL Server Version
SQL Server Platform
Processor Core
Physical Memory
Service Account Name
Domain
Looks good ? Below is the version 1 of this script:
