Function Get-DbaFile { <# .SYNOPSIS Get-DbaFile finds files in any directory specified on a remote SQL Server .DESCRIPTION This command searches all specified directories, allowing a DBA to see file information on a server without direct access You can filter by extension using the -FileType parameter. By default, the default data directory will be returned. You can provide and additional paths to search using the -Path parameter. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server instance. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials .PARAMETER Path Used to specify extra directories to search in addition to the default data directory. .PARAMETER FileType Used to specify filter by filetype. No dot required, just pass the extension. .PARAMETER Silent Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages .NOTES Tags: Discovery Author: Brandon Abshire, netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: GNU GPL v3 https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0 .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaFile .EXAMPLE Get-DbaFile -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Path E:\Dir1 Logs into the SQL Server "sqlserver2014a" using Windows credentials and searches E:\Dir for all files .EXAMPLE Get-DbaFile -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -SqlCredential $cred -Path 'E:\sql files' Logs into the SQL Server "sqlserver2014a" using alternative credentials and returns all files in 'E:\sql files' .EXAMPLE $all = Get-DbaDefaultPath -SqlInstance sql2014 Get-DbaFile -SqlInstance sql2014 -Path $all.Data, $all.Log, $all.Backup Returns the files in the default data, log and backup directories on sql2014 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaFile -SqlInstance sql2014 -Path 'E:\Dir1', 'E:\Dir2' Returns the files in "E:\Dir1" and "E:Dir2" on sql2014 .EXAMPLE Get-DbaFile -SqlInstance -Path 'E:\Dir1' sql2014, sql2016 -FileType fsf, mld Finds files in E:\Dir1 ending with ".fsf" and ".mld" for both the servers sql2014 and sql2016. .EXAMPLE Get-DbaFile -SqlInstance -Path 'E:\Dir1' sql2014, sql2016 -FileType fsf, mld Finds files in E:\Dir1 ending with ".fsf" and ".mld" for both the servers sql2014 and sql2016. #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [string[]]$Path, [string[]]$FileType, [switch]$Silent ) begin { function Get-SQLDirTreeQuery { param ( $PathList ) $q1 = "IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM tempdb.dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#enum')) DROP TABLE #enum; CREATE TABLE #enum ( id int IDENTITY, fs_filename nvarchar(512), depth int, is_file int, parent nvarchar(512) ); DECLARE @dir nvarchar(512);" $q2 = "SET @dir = 'dirname'; INSERT INTO #enum( fs_filename, depth, is_file ) EXEC xp_dirtree @dir, 1, 1; UPDATE #enum SET parent = @dir, fs_filename = ltrim(rtrim(fs_filename)) WHERE parent IS NULL;" $query_files_sql = "SELECT e.fs_filename AS filename, e.parent FROM #enum AS e WHERE is_file = 1;" # build the query string based on how many directories they want to enumerate $sql = $q1 $sql += $($PathList | Where-Object { $_ -ne '' } | ForEach-Object { "$([System.Environment]::Newline)$($q2 -Replace 'dirname', $_)" }) $sql += $query_files_sql Write-Message -Level Debug -Message $sql return $sql } function Format-Path { param ($path) $path = $path.Trim() #Thank you windows 2000 $path = $path -replace '[^A-Za-z0-9 _\.\-\\:]', '__' return $path } if ($FileType) { $FileTypeComparison = $FileType | ForEach-Object { $_.ToLower() } | Where-Object { $_ } | Sort-Object | Get-Unique } } process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { $paths = @() try { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance" $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } # Get the default data and log directories from the instance if (-not (Test-Bound -Parameter Path)) { $Path = (Get-DbaDefaultPath -SqlInstance $server).Data } Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Adding paths" $paths = $Path | ForEach-Object { "$_".TrimEnd("\") } | Sort-Object | Get-Unique $sql = Get-SQLDirTreeQuery $paths $datatable = $server.Query($sql) Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "$($datatable.Rows.Count) files found." if ($FileTypeComparison) { foreach ($row in $datatable) { foreach ($type in $FileTypeComparison) { if ($row.filename.ToLower().EndsWith($type)) { $fullpath = [IO.Path]::combine($row.parent, $row.filename) [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.NetName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Filename = $fullpath RemoteFilename = Join-AdminUnc -Servername $server.netname -Filepath $fullpath } | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty ComputerName, InstanceName, RemoteFilename } } } } else { foreach ($row in $datatable) { $fullpath = [IO.Path]::combine($row.parent, $row.filename) [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.NetName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Filename = $fullpath RemoteFilename = Join-AdminUnc -Servername $server.netname -Filepath $fullpath } | Select-DefaultView -ExcludeProperty ComputerName, InstanceName, RemoteFilename } } } } } |
