Function Get-SqlMaxMemory { <# .SYNOPSIS Displays information relating to SQL Server Max Memory configuration settings. Works on SQL Server 2000-2014. .DESCRIPTION Inspired by Jonathan Kehayias's post about SQL Server Max memory (http://bit.ly/sqlmemcalc), this script displays a SQL Server's: total memory, currently configured SQL max memory, and the calculated recommendation. Jonathan notes that the formula used provides a *general recommendation* that doesn't account for everything that may be going on in your specific environment. THIS CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH NO WARRANTIES. .PARAMETER SqlServers Allows you to specify a comma separated list of servers to query. .PARAMETER ServersFromFile Allows you to specify a list that's been populated by a list of servers to query. The format is as follows server1 server2 server3 .PARAMETER SqlCms Reports on a list of servers populated by the specified SQL Server Central Management Server. .PARAMETER SqlCmsGroups This is a parameter that appears when SqlCms has been specified. It is populated by Server Groups within the given Central Management Server. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use: $cred = Get-Credential, this pass this $cred to the param. Windows Authentication will be used if DestinationSqlCredential is not specified. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .NOTES Author : Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Requires: sysadmin access on SQL Servers dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io, clemaire@gmail.com) Copyright (C) 2105 Chrissy LeMaire This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
