I'm using PowerShell as well but not with the CMS. How does that work? I'd be appreciative of that information and a copy of your script if you don't mind. Thanks, Marcus.

you can query the msdb database, of the server that serves up the Central Management Server list.

with that list, you can use powershell to connect to each one;

select * from msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_server_groups_internal

select * from msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal

select * from msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers

select * from msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_server_groups

here's an example where i pull stuff together:

SELECT ROW_NUMBER()

OVER (

PARTITION BY TheServer.NAME

ORDER BY TheServer.NAME) AS rw,

TheGroup.NAME AS [servergroup],

TheGroup.[Description] AS [groupdescription],

TheServer.NAME,

TheServer.server_name AS [servername],

TheServer.[description] AS [description]

FROM [HOL-WKS-444].msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_server_groups_internal TheGroup

LEFT JOIN [HOL-WKS-444].msdb.dbo.sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal TheServer

ON TheGroup.server_group_id = TheServer.server_group_id

WHERE TheGroup.server_type = 0 --only the Database Engine Server Group

AND server_name IS NOT NULL

How can it be done using powershell?

create connection to registered server group? (How can i do this?)
execute the query
mail the results

$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection

$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "integrated security=SSPI; data source=?????; initial catalog=??????;"

$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand

$SqlCmd.CommandText = "dba.dbo.stp_get_version"

$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection

$SqlCmd.CommandType = [System.Data.CommandType]::StoredProcedure

$p1=$SqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@htmloutput", "")

$p1.Direction = [system.Data.ParameterDirection]::Output

$p1.Size=8000

$SqlConnection.Open()

$SqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

$p1.SqlValue.Value

$MsgBody = $p1.SqlValue.Value

$SMTPSvr = 'my_exchange_server'

$from = 'me@mail.com'

$recipients = "you@mail.com, you2@mail.com"

[string[]]$to = $recipients.Split(',')




Send-MailMessage –From $from –To $to –Subject “server versions” -Body $MsgBody -SmtpServer $SMTPSvr -BodyAsHTML
