Method to Dump out SQL Server Instance Configuration, Version/SP, etc.

  • Is there a method (script, utility) to Dump out SQL Server Instance Configuration, Version/SP, etc.

    Essentially all the metadata that defines that instance of SQL Server 2005 to be able to compare it against another instance.

    My DoubleTake mirroring is failing on target server after we hotfixed the source server, and target tries to come back up again (re-start). I want to compare both instances, one against the other.

    Thanks

  • pssdiag gives you a bunch, but it has other stuff. Might be able to easily extract the metadata.

  • You don't mean sp_configure do you? All the SQL Server settings, memory allocation, all that stuff? Or are you really looking even lower level at the server instance itself? If so, I think I'd go with Steve's suggestion.
