Gathering Complete SQL Server Machine Information

  • Hi Experts

    I am assigned few SQL Server 2000 and 2005 Production Servers. My task is to prepare a document in which I should include the complete configuration, settings, database sizes, scheduled jobs and everything that relates to the servers.

    Where could I get this information the best way?

    I am aware of few system stored procedures from which we can pull this information. Please let me know the most useful and relevant system stored procedures for the above scenario.

    Also suggest me how to handle the situation for SQL Server 2000 as well.

    Thanks

    Sunny

  • These should get you started and on the right track.

    Ever thought about building a report?

    Use master

    Select @@VERSION

    exec sp_helpDB

    exec sp_helpuser

    exec xp_fixeddrives

    Use msdb

    exec sp_help_jobhistory

    exec sp_monitor

    Could you please elaborate on creating reports.

    Thanks for your response.

    Could you please elaborate on creating reports.

    Create a SQL rdl report, where you can specify a more clean version of these sp's to return data in a report form.

    Use SQL BI Studio, create a new project: Report Project, and start building your report files, by using

    stored procedures to return data.
