function Test-DbaOptimizeForAdHoc { <# .SYNOPSIS Displays information relating to SQL Server Optimize for AdHoc Workloads setting. Works on SQL Server 2008-2016. .DESCRIPTION When this option is set, plan cache size is further reduced for single-use ad hoc OLTP workload. More info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645587.aspx http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/glennberry/2011/02/25/some-suggested-sql-server-2008-r2-instance-configuration-settings/ These are just general recommendations for SQL Server and are a good starting point for setting the "optimize for ad-hoc workloads" option. .PARAMETER SqlInstance A collection of one or more SQL Server instance names to query. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .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: Configure, SPConfigure Author: Brandon Abshire, 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/Test-DbaOptimizeForAdHoc .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaOptimizeForAdHoc -SqlInstance sql2008, sqlserver2012 Validates whether Optimize for AdHoc Workloads setting is enabled for servers sql2008 and sqlserver2012. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstance[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $notesAdHocZero = "Recommended configuration is 1 (enabled)." $notesAsRecommended = "Configuration is already set as recommended." $recommendedValue = 1 } process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -MinimumVersion 10 } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } #Get current configured value $optimizeAdHoc = $server.Configuration.OptimizeAdhocWorkloads.ConfigValue #Setting notes for optimize adhoc value if ($optimizeAdHoc -eq $recommendedValue) { $notes = $notesAsRecommended } else { $notes = $notesAdHocZero } [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName CurrentOptimizeAdHoc = $optimizeAdHoc RecommendedOptimizeAdHoc = $recommendedValue Notes = $notes } } } } |
