I have to keep track of our SQL Server version inventory. The goal is to reduce the SQL Server 2000 population as fast as possible. The following PowerShell script will produce a csv file containing the database server name and the version of SQL Server it's running. 1: ## Get SQL Version installed on multiple servers ## 2: ## ./sqlver.ps1 3: $start = get-date 4: write-host "Start: " $start 5: 6: [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | out-null 7: 8: $FilePath = "C:\Output" 9: $OutFile = Join-Path -path $FilePath -childPath ("SQLVersions_" + (get-date).toString('yyyyMMdd_hhmmtt') + ".log") 10: 11: # Version inventory 12: @(foreach ($svr in get-content "C:\Input\AllLOBServers.txt") 13: { 14: $s = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server" $svr 15: $s | select Name, Version 16: 17: }) | export-csv -noType $OutFile 18: 1
