Back to the ICT-Hotlist...Use PowerShell to query multiple SQL server configurations.
This example script uses PowerShell to query a list of SQL-servers for their version, edition and collation.
# This Powershell script is designed to demonstrate how to query
# multiple Microsoft SQL Servers for their version, edition and collation.
# (C)Copyright 2015 - 2025 vanSoest.it by Johan van Soest
$Servers = @("nlaalsqldb1","nlaalsp1")
$Query = "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('machinename') As 'Machine Name',"
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') As 'Product Version',"
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel') As 'Product Level', "
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') As 'Edition',"
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY ('collation') As 'Collation'"
foreach($Server in $Servers){
Invoke-SqlCmd -query $Query -ServerInstance $Server
}
Example output:
# multiple Microsoft SQL Servers for their version, edition and collation.
# (C)Copyright 2015 - 2025 vanSoest.it by Johan van Soest
$Servers = @("nlaalsqldb1","nlaalsp1")
$Query = "SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('machinename') As 'Machine Name',"
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') As 'Product Version',"
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel') As 'Product Level', "
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') As 'Edition',"
$Query += "SERVERPROPERTY ('collation') As 'Collation'"
foreach($Server in $Servers){
Invoke-SqlCmd -query $Query -ServerInstance $Server
}
Machine Name : NLAALSQLDB1 Product Version : 10.50.4042.0 Product Level : SP2 Edition : Standard Edition (64-bit) Collation : Latin1_General_BIN Machine Name : NLAALSP1 Product Version : 13.0.4001.0 Product Level : SP1 Edition : Standard Edition (64-bit) Collation : Latin1_General_BIN
To find the product name with your Product Version, you can use this site: http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.nl/
The script assumes that the user running the script has access to the listed MS-SQL servers. Otherwise one should provide a user name and password using the Invoke-SqlCmd options -Username and -Password.
Get the PowerShell SQL server Modules
The PowerShell modules are installed by default when installing Microsoft SQL Server. You can manually install the PowerShell Extensions for SQL Server 2012, 2014 or 2016 by installing the following components from the Microsoft® SQL Server® 2016 Feature Pack:- Microsoft® System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server® 2016 (SQLSysClrTypes.msi)
- Microsoft® SQL Server® 2016 Shared Management Objects (SharedManagementObjects.msi)
- Microsoft® Windows PowerShell Extensions for Microsoft SQL Server® 2016 (PowerShellTools.msi)
