script out the post install checks

  • Hi,

    We have few post install checks to be done as a standard(SQL 2005). It includes setting up of maintenance plans, turning on xp_cmdshell,few logins addition, setting up maxservermemory etc.

    So can anyone please help me in writing the script which will do the following:

    The script should check:

    1. The existence of maintenance plans( This i can get from sysjobs)

    2. The max server memeory option set to max value.

    3. should list out the logins.

    Can anyone please help me in this script. Waiting for a soon reply..i need it immediately.

    Thanks,

    Madhuri 🙂

  • Look up SQLCMD, you can call this from the OS and use SQL within that to check all the values that you want.

    Or you could just create a TSQL script that you run from SSMS to get the values.

    You could even create a VBScript that you launch, which queries those things and checks to see if the values are correct and then, if not, will allow you to set them.

    sp_configure has most of what you are looking for.

  • Thanks Nicolas for the reply.

    I understand that i can get a lot from sysconfigurations but can you please help me giving me the script about how to perform all the actions. I am not very good at scripting so it would be great if you could give me a script to do the things i want.

    Thanks,

  • Start simple. Work on what you need to do to check the values in sp_configure. Once you know what those values are work on changing them to what values you'd like them to be. Check out sp_configure in books online. I'd take that as the first step.
