    The functionality of querying multiple servers with a single query using CMS is a SSMS feature, not a SQL Server feature so it's likely not doable in the way you might be thinking. You can use your CMS to get a list of the servers to query in Powershell and use that to execute the same query against the servers instead of using a server list. That approach is explained in this article:
    Central Management Server

    Is there a reason you wouldn't just want a failed jobs report type of job on each of the servers? Having a job like that on your servers is fairly common.

    Hi Sue

    There are 100's of servers and the request is for one email containing all failed jobs.

    It seems powershell is the only way to achieve it really.

    I posted twice as no-one was responding to this one:

    If you want just one email then yes you'd need to go down the powershell route to do this. I didn't even notice the two posts until you mentioned it...oops, my bad.
    Anyway, look at that first link I posted and you'll get the idea of how to use CMS for the server list. You could look at something like dumping the results from powershell into some central table and then grab the results from that table to send the email.
    You may want to just get it working for one server. Adding the others servers from CMS is the easier part to add.
