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 Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaDefaultPath .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDefaultPath -SqlInstance sql01\sharepoint Returns the default file paths for sql01\sharepoint .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $servers = "sql2014","sql2016", "sqlcluster\sharepoint" PS C:\> $servers | Get-DbaDefaultPath Returns the default file paths for "sql2014","sql2016" and "sqlcluster\sharepoint" #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Alias("Credential")] [PSCredential] $SqlCredential, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Connecting to $instance" try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -AzureUnsupported } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $dataPath = $server.DefaultFile if ($dataPath.Length -eq 0) { $dataPath = $server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteScalar("SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceDefaultdataPath')") } if ($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 = $server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteScalar("SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceDefaultLogPath')") } if ($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.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Data = $dataPath Log = $logPath Backup = $server.BackupDirectory ErrorLog = $server.ErrorlogPath } } } } |
