PowerShell – Identify Service Account & Other Details of SQL Services – Multi Server Script

One of my friend requested me to give a mutli server script to pull SQL Service related details. Here is a quick PowerShell script to find Name, ServerName, Status, StartupMode, Service Account and other details of SQL Services across all listed SQL Instances. The output is shown in three different formats.

• AutoSize
• HTML
• CSV

Copy and Paste the below code PowerShell-ISE and execute 

*******************************************************************************

#A PowerShell array holds a list of data items
$Result = @()
#Loop through all SQL Instances listed under F:\PowerSQL\List.txt
foreach($server in Get-Content F:\PowerSQL\List.txt)
{
#List only sql related services, gwmi is an alias of Get-WmiObject
$Services=gwmi win32_service -computername $server | where {$_.Name -like ‘*SQL*’}
#Test for unsuccesful connection
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $server -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet))
{“Problem still exists in connecting to $server”}
ELSE {
$services | ForEach {
If ($_)
{ $Result += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
‘Service Display Name’ = $_.Displayname
‘Service Name’ = $_.Name
‘Start Mode’ = $_.Startmode
‘Service Account Name’ = $_.Startname
‘State’ = $_.State
‘Status’= $_.Status
‘System Name’ = $_.Systemname
}
}
}
}
}
$Result |Format-Table -AutoSize
