SQL DBA learning curve

recently I needed to check OS level of few servers   most servers in my environment , I was looking for query I could run from

CMS .. to get a consolidated data from all servers .

I got an initial idea from link .. A big Thanks to Thomas LaRock

I had few servers where DMV or 2005 + onwards features or tables where

not available .. so I have modified Thomas’s script a bit to suit my needs

below script can be RAN on CMS or individual SQL server

output will have Servername, OS bit level,SQL bit level and whether Server

is VM (works for Hypervisor or VM) or Physical

SELECT

@@servername ‘Servername’,

case

when RIGHT(SUBSTRING(@@VERSION,CHARINDEX(‘<‘,@@VERSION), 4), 2)like ’64’ then ’64’

else ’32’

END ‘OS TYPE’,

case

when RIGHT(SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar,SERVERPROPERTY(‘Edition’)),CHARINDEX(‘(‘,CONVERT(varchar,SERVERPROPERTY(‘Edition’))), 3), 2)like’64’ then’64’

else ’32’

end ‘SQL TYPE’,

case when substring(@@version,CHARINDEX(‘Hypervisor’,@@version),10)like’Hypervisor’ then ‘VM’

when substring(@@version,CHARINDEX(‘VM’,@@version),2)like’VM’ then ‘VM’
else ‘physical’ END ‘SERVER TYPE’

let me know if you are facing any issue with this script ..

enjoy 🙂
