What better place to solve a nagging Powershell issue than good ol' SQL Server Central :)I'm trying to retrieve disk usage data from servers on my domain. Server list is pulled from a simple text file on the local computer, each server is then queried for disk information, data is saved in a table, data is written to a database table.This was taken from somewhere on the internet and tweaked to work in my environment, and it has worked splendidly until I was asked to incorporate additional servers that had hyphenated names.[code="other"]#define servers to be monitored$server = get-content C:\<path>\serverList.txt#data table to hold resultsFunction out-DataTable { $dt = new-object Data.datatable $First = $true foreach ($item in $input){ $DR = $DT.NewRow() $Item.PsObject.get_properties() | foreach { if ($first) { $Col = new-object Data.DataColumn $Col.ColumnName = $_.Name.ToString() $DT.Columns.Add($Col) } if ($_.value -eq $null) { $DR.Item($_.Name) = "[empty]" } elseif ($_.IsArray) { $DR.Item($_.Name) =[string]::Join($_.value ,";") } else { $DR.Item($_.Name) = $_.value } } $DT.Rows.Add($DR) $First = $false } return @(,($dt))}#function to retrieve disk informationFunction Get-DisksSpace ([string]$Servername, $unit= "GB"){$measure = "1$unit"Get-WmiObject -computername $serverName -query "select SystemName, Name, DriveType, FileSystem, FreeSpace, Capacity, Label from Win32_Volume where DriveType = 2 or DriveType = 3" `| select SystemName ` , Name ` , @{Label="SizeIn$unit";Expression={"{0:n2}" -f($_.Capacity/$measure)}} ` , @{Label="FreeIn$unit";Expression={"{0:n2}" -f($_.freespace/$measure)}} ` , Label}#execute the functionsforeach ($s in $server){#Write what is being retrievedGet-DisksSpace $s#Load into table and database$dataTable = Get-DisksSpace $s | where {$_.name -like "E:\*" -or $_.name -like "C:\*"} | out-DataTable$connectionString = "Data Source=<Server\Instance>; Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=<DestinationDB>;"$bulkCopy = new-object ("Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy") $connectionString$bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "<Schema.Table>"$bulkCopy.WriteToServer($dataTable)}[/code]This returns all the information requested except for a system name for hyphenated servers.

Help making my RestoreDB script better pls?
I'm a total noob with posh :-) I got it powershell running and then hacked together this script.I was following the article about powershell restores (https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/backup-and-recovery/backup-and-restore-sql-server-with-the-sql-server-2012-powershell-cmdlets/).I made a script based on this, but I had some further needs not met in the article.First, SingleUserMode. Maybe it's just my environment, but restores of our big DB doesn't work without this. Application just keeps making connections. Second, I have to perform some actions I've currently figured was easiest done with TSQL. Here I'm just looking at the last restore date.In reality, I have to reset passwords, remove/add logins, attach logins to users, sometimes run a special script to change some default settings... Just a few executenonquery type of things.I'll also have to add moving the backup file as well or as a separate method/function. Whats it called when you encapsulate in powershell?First, if there is a 100% powershell way to do most of these things, I'd love to learn it!But I'd also love to learn how one would best run a query with results and without results against a server.And that last bit? That's a total hack on displaying the information. Can anyone point to a better way to displaying it? [code="plain"]cls#import SQL Server moduleImport-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking# Sets context for getting a db reference.# I use the reference to change the user access and verify the backup date after the restoreSet-Location SQLSERVER:\SQL\(server)\(instance)\Databases\(database)$dbName = "db"$db = Get-Item .echo $db.UserAccess# The next few lines handle changing the databases user access mode which prevents restoring due to active connections# I run this if the db is set to Multiple (it normally is)#$db.UserAccess = "Multiple"$db.UserAccess = "Single"$db.Parent.KillAllProcesses($dbName)$db.Alter()Restore-SqlDatabase -Database $dbName -BackupFile "(backup path).bak" -ReplaceDatabase # Here and below is my TSQL hammer approach to solve the problem of verifing the restore date on the DB we're attempting to restore.# I'm sure that this can be done more elegantly within Posh and even using a TSQL query, this has to be a hacky way to display the output of a known schema result.cls$BackupTimeQuery = @"SELECT TOP 1 destination_database_name As dbname, restore_date, user_name As RestoredBy FROM msdb.dbo.restorehistory RH WHERE RH.destination_database_name = '$dbName' ORDER BY restore_date DESC;"@<# Commented out the StringCollection as I don't need it for a single query# Setting up StringCollection to use with ExecuteWithResults for multiple queries. $sqlQuery = new-object System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollectionQuery to find the most recent backup of the DB being restored. $sqlQuery.Add("")#>$ds = $db.ExecuteWithResults($BackupTimeQuery)# Please don't anyone use this as an example, but please do suggest a better way to display multiple fields of a single row returned within Posh.Foreach ($t in $ds.Tables){Foreach ($r in $t.Rows){Foreach ($c in $t.Columns){Write-Host $c.ColumnName "=" $r.Item($c)}}}[/code]

Open Excel Error Using PowerShell in SQL Server Agent Job
I am trying to run a Powershell script, which opens and modifies an Excel spreadsheet, from a SQL Agent job step, . The script runs fine by itself, and from BIDS. I have tried running as an SSIS pkg with a proxy, and when that didn't work I setup the step to simply run the Powershell script.This is the error I receive:A job step received an error at line 17 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is '$Workbook=$objExcel.Workbookds.Open("\\files\reporting\Dailyreport_MMDDYYYY.xls",0,$False,1,"password")'Correct the script and reschedule the job.The error information returned by PowerShell is: "Exception calling "Open" with "5" arguments(s)."Microsoft Excel cannot access the file "\\files\reporting\Dailyreport_MMDDYYYY.xls".There are several possible reasons: The file name or path does not exist [i](Yes, it does!)[/i]The file is being used by another program [i](No, it’s not!)[/i]The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook."

Write PowerShell Output to SQL Server Table
Heh... First time I've had to admit being a "newbie" in a long time so be gentle with me. I might not even know enough to ask the right questions.I managed to pick up the following PS script from the internet. Lot's of you know what it is. It gets some disk space information from every disk device for the given computer. I've removed all field formatting just to keep it super simple.[code="plain"]Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -computer 'SomeComputerName' | Select SystemName,DeviceID,VolumeName,Size,FreeSpace | Format-Table[/code]What I'd like to do is write the output to a table in a given SQL Server. I've Googled for answers and have found some (IMHO) very over complicated methods. Some are generic (which is very cool) but not what I need. I just want to write this one output to a table.The table for this example is simple as well (I've removed all but the necessary columns including a Date/Time column)...[code="sql"] CREATE TABLE dbo.DiskSpace ( SystemName VARCHAR(128), DeviceID CHAR(2), VolumeName VARCHAR(128), Size BIGINT, FreeSpace BIGINT );[/code]I realize that we're going to need a connection to the database. I'd like it to be a trusted connection so we don't have to hardcode a user name or password. Assume that the server name is "TestServer" and that the database name is "TestDB". From what I've been able to read up on, the business of the connection would look something like this (please correct it if I'm wrong)...[code="plain"]$conn=new-object System.Data.SqlClient.SQLConnection $ConnectionString = "Server=TestServer;Database=TestDB;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=0"$conn.ConnectionString=$ConnectionString $conn.Open()...something goes here but I don't know what... $conn.Close() [/code]Like I said, I'm brand-spanking-new to PowerShell. I sure could use some help on how to get the data from the first script above into the table that I posted the CREATE TABLE code for without having to build a bunch of functions like in the following link.[url]http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2010/11/01/use-powershell-to-collect-server-data-and-write-to-sql.aspx[/url]Thanks for the help, folks. And, yeah... if you have a good book recommendation for the syntax and how to "start thinking in PowerShell" like I do in T-SQL, it would also be much appreciated.

Powershell script being run as SQL agent job
Hi everyone.I have a powershell script that lists all backup status across various servers.Script runs fine via Powershell gui (Normally) Sometimes I see an issue. Think it is regarding Excel and how it outputs its results.I can see that when the spreadsheet is created, it leaves the excel.exe*32 running on my machine.Unless I close that , or go into spreadsheet and exit it, subsequent runs also fail.When not there , runs fine.However when run as SQL agent job it always fails.this is the error.A job step received an error at line 88 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is '$Excel.SaveAs("Y:\SQL\Failedjobs.xlsx")'. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Exception calling "SaveAs" with "1" argument(s): "SaveAs method of Workbook class failed"Any tips on how to correct this , or what I am doing wrong and need to check ?many thanks

Powershell for SQL Server Instructor-Led Class
I keep getting the message that powershell is very usefull for the DBA. I believe it. But I need a class.At SQL Pass Summit I went to several presentations that tended to be givenby very talented people who's approach was to present the clever scripts theywrote and tell what the tricky parts were. Not useful. So I took a 5 day Microsoft instructor led class where I managed to get some of the basics (not easy for an old Cobol dude to grasp) but it did not cover anything aboutSQL Server. The instructor promised to fire up some SQL plugins and do some stuffbut he never got around to it. Marginally usefull. Not worth 5 days and big bucks. I can do stuff with files and Windowsbut nothing with SQL Server (or I could a year ago. I forgot it all).I need to start at square one in an instructor-led class that is targeted at a SQL Server DBA.Does such an animal exist (no, I don't want blogs or books) ?
