function Get-DbaDefaultPath { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets the default SQL Server paths for data, logs and backups .DESCRIPTION Gets the default SQL Server paths for data, logs and backups .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server instance, or instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Config Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaDefaultPath .EXAMPLE Get-DbaDefaultPath -SqlInstance sql01\sharepoint Returns the default file paths for sql01\sharepoint .EXAMPLE $servers = "sql2014","sql2016", "sqlcluster\sharepoint" $servers | Get-DbaDefaultPath Returns the default file paths for "sql2014","sql2016" and "sqlcluster\sharepoint" #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Alias("Credential")] [PSCredential] $SqlCredential, [switch][Alias('Silent')]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Attempting to connect to $instance" try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $datapath = $server.DefaultFile if ($datapath.Length -eq 0) { $datapath = $server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteScalar("SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceDefaultDataPath')") } <# eh, this can be a failback if we can get it to work ;) if ($datapath -eq [System.DBNull]::Value -or $datapath.Length -eq 0) { $datapath = $server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteScalar("master.dbo.xp_instance_regread N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer', N'DefaultData'") } #> if ($datapath -eq [System.DBNull]::Value -or $datapath.Length -eq 0) { $datapath = Split-Path (Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance $server -Database model).FileGroups[0].Files[0].FileName } if ($datapath.Length -eq 0) { $datapath = $server.Information.MasterDbPath } $logpath = $server.DefaultLog if ($logpath.Length -eq 0) { $logpath = $server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteScalar("SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceDefaultLogPath')") } <# eh, this can be a failback if we can get it to work ;) right now, the Get-Database thing below causes enumeration which slows stuff down on systems with hundreds of dbs if ($logpath -eq [System.DBNull]::Value -or $logpath.Length -eq 0) { $logpath = $server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteScalar("master.dbo.xp_instance_regread N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', N'Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer', N'DefaultLog'") } #> if ($logpath -eq [System.DBNull]::Value -or $logpath.Length -eq 0) { $logpath = Split-Path (Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance $server -Database model).LogFiles.FileName } if ($logpath.Length -eq 0) { $logpath = $server.Information.MasterDbLogPath } $datapath = $datapath.Trim().TrimEnd("\") $logpath = $logpath.Trim().TrimEnd("\") [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.NetName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Data = $datapath Log = $logpath Backup = $server.BackupDirectory ErrorLog = $server.ErrorLogPath } } } } |
