SQL Logins output to a file via sp_help_revlogin

  • Hi all,

    I'm looking to get sql logins output to a file via powershell.

    After many different, but unsuccessful searches to find a PS script to retrieve SQL Logins via the stored proc sp_help_revlogin, I'm at a loss.

    Hopefully someone can help. Here's the code which returns a "0" when run.

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

    $SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "server=srvname\instname;database=master;Integrated Security=sspi"

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

    $SqlCmd.CommandText = "sp_help_revlogin"

    $SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection

    $SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter

    $SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd

    $DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet

    $SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet) | out-File $outfile -append

    $SqlConnection.Close()

    $DataSet.Tables[0]

    returns: 0

    This works with a stproc like sp_helpdb, but not sp_help_revlogin. Suggestions?

    Thank you

  • I'm working on this problem as well. The reason this does not work is because the output from both stored procedures are different.

    sp_helpdb outputs its results to a grid much like any query.

    sp_help_revlogin actually generates a scripts in the messages window.

    You need to find a way to return the Messages in the SQLDataAdapter.

    invoke-sqlcmd can issue a -verbose switch to output messages, but so far I have had no luck assigning this to a variable or output file.

  • easy fix for you guys.

    I assume you went to this page and downloaded the procedures from Micorsoft:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992

    from there, all you really need to do is modify the code, so that wherever the code originally PRINT ed to the message window, it inserts into a temp table; then at the end select all the results from that table.

    this took me just a minute or two to modify:

    USE master

    GO

    IF OBJECT_ID ('sp_hexadecimal') IS NOT NULL

    DROP PROCEDURE sp_hexadecimal

    GO

    CREATE PROCEDURE sp_hexadecimal

    @binvalue varbinary(256),

    @hexvalue varchar (514) OUTPUT

    AS

    DECLARE @charvalue varchar (514)

    DECLARE @i int

    DECLARE @length int

    DECLARE @hexstring char(16)

    SELECT @charvalue = '0x'

    SELECT @i = 1

    SELECT @length = DATALENGTH (@binvalue)

    SELECT @hexstring = '0123456789ABCDEF'

    WHILE (@i <= @length)

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @tempint int

    DECLARE @firstint int

    DECLARE @secondint int

    SELECT @tempint = CONVERT(int, SUBSTRING(@binvalue,@i,1))

    SELECT @firstint = FLOOR(@tempint/16)

    SELECT @secondint = @tempint - (@firstint*16)

    SELECT @charvalue = @charvalue +

    SUBSTRING(@hexstring, @firstint+1, 1) +

    SUBSTRING(@hexstring, @secondint+1, 1)

    SELECT @i = @i + 1

    END

    SELECT @hexvalue = @charvalue

    GO

    IF OBJECT_ID ('sp_help_revlogin') IS NOT NULL

  • Yes definitely the quickest. OP, are you using mixed mode authentication or strictly Windows authentication? I'm having issues with SQL logins and the encrypted passwords becoming corrupt. I think something to do with out-file encoding.

  • Disregard, user error. I had been tinkering around with script() functionality, but never changed my ps script back to querying the database.

  • Brilliant,

    I created script that collects this information from all my Production SQL servers and stores it in a central database table. This uses a linked-server to loop through all my SQL servers once a day via a scheduled SQL job.
