SQL Saturday #85

I'll be speaking at SQL Saturday #85 this weekend in Orlando.

Here's another example we'll review during my session "PowerShell by Example".

This example uses the SQLPSX 1.6 function get-sqlserver to return server properties.




This example was inspired by @PaulRandal's Ponderings on the instance-wide fillfactor setting in his SQLskills Insider Tips newsletter of 9/3/2011.  

To become a SQLskills insider, go here.




Looking forward to seeing everyone at SQL Saturday #85!

   1:  # In response to Paul Randal's Ponderings of Sep 3, 2011 regarding fill factor set at the instance level...

   2:  # His Call To Action is to verify it is set to 100. This script provides the basic means to check it on multiple instances.  

   3:  # The results are sent to a csv file

   4:   

   5:  $FilePath = "C:\Output"

   6:  $OutFile = Join-Path -path $FilePath -childPath ("ServerWide_FillFactor" + (get-date).toString('yyyyMMdd_hhmmtt') + ".csv")

   7:   

   8:  # Provide a list of servers one way or another...

   9:  $Servers = 'RED50\SQLEXPRESS'

  10:  #$Servers = get-content 'C:\Input\Servers.txt'

  13:  foreach ($svr in $Servers)

  14:  {

  15:      $s = get-sqlserver $svr

  16:      $s.Configuration | select parent,{$_.Fillfactor.RunValue}

  17:
