    Hi Poweshell Gurus

    I am a power shell newbie , looking to import SQL server version information of multiple instances and load the data to a different table. Using some help from different blogs post, I am able to come up with the script below but apparently it is not serving the purpose.

    Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for reading my post.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    . C:\Test\powershell\Write-DataTable.ps1

    $serverlist = Invoke-sqlcmd -ServerInstance “ABC” -Database "Test" -Query “Select InstaceName FROM InstanceTable”
    foreach ($server in $serverlist)
    {

    $dt=Invoke-SqlCmd -ServerInstance $serverlist -Database master -Query “SELECT @@version”
    Write-DataTable -ServerInstance "XYZ" -Database "Test1" -TableName "SQLVersion" -Data $dt}

    You've misspelled InstanceName in your SELECT query.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

    Thanks for the reply, actually the column name is "InstaceName".

    Shouldn't:
    $dt=Invoke-SqlCmd -ServerInstance $serverlist -Database master -Query “SELECT @@version”

    Be:
    $dt=Invoke-SqlCmd -ServerInstance $server -Database master -Query “SELECT @@version”

    Shouldn't:
    $dt=Invoke-SqlCmd -ServerInstance $serverlist -Database master -Query “SELECT @@versionâ€

    Be:
    $dt=Invoke-SqlCmd -ServerInstance $server -Database master -Query “SELECT @@versionâ€

    I tried both but no luck..

    Did you try putting db name master in single quotes?
