Hello
I will need to set up an automatism
that checks the recovery mode of the bases
If base other than SIMPLE, force the transition to simple mode and shrink database
import-module sqlps -DisableNameChecking #[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | out-null Add-Type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo" #Force change psdrive from SQLserver to c:\ -> without UNC link not working cd c: $mode_recuperation='simple' $Server='sqlprod' $SMOserver = New-Object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') -argumentlist $Server $SMOserver.Databases | where {$_.IsSystemObject -eq $false} | select Name, RecoveryModel | Format-Table # Ce ci pour enlever les bases systéme $SMOserver.Databases | where {$_.IsSystemObject -eq $false} | foreach {$_.RecoveryModel = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RecoveryModel]::Simple; $_.Alter()}#Forcer le passage vers database simpel $SMOserver.Databases | where {$_.IsSystemObject -eq $false} | select Name, RecoveryModel | Format-Table #simple affichage
Who has an idea how I can modify my script to add the shrink part ?

Before you go ahead with this, are you aware of possible issues with shrinking databases?

yes
or it is an exceptional action
I have to run it only if I have disk saturation

Doesn't that mean that your database needs more disk space?
Changing recovery mode to simple is not an exceptional action.

Not that I think this is a good idea, but once you have the db, or db files, you would use a PoSh command to execute dbcc shrinkdatabase or dbccshrinkfile.

You would be better off using placeholders to free up space when needed and then deal with the issue. https://voiceofthedba.com/2014/12/01/creating-placeholder-files/
