This article walks through how to list SQL Server configurable and non-configurable instance settings using PowerShell and sending an automated email to a listed users. The Function SendEmail has MailServerName as one of its parameter. Please change accordingly.The following code loads the SMO(SMO Server Objects) assemblies.
Import the SQLPS module, and create a new SMO Server object and Specify the DisableNameChecking parameter if you want to suppress the warning about Encode-Sqlname and Decode-Sqlname.
#import SQL Server module
PS:\>Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking
ErrorMessage –
Import-Module : The specified module ‘SQLPS’ was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
Checkout for available modules using below code
PS:\>Get-Module -ListAvailable
If SQLPS is not there, Load the assemblies Manually using below given code.
Copy the code and load into PowerShell-ISE.exe and execute, If some of the modules are loaded already you may encounter some error. You can ignore those errors.
