functions/Get-DbaDefaultPath.ps1
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 TThe target SQL Server instance or instances. .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: Storage, Data, Log, Backup 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:\> $servers | Get-DbaDefaultPath Returns the default file paths for "sql2014","sql2016" and "sqlcluster\sharepoint" #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential] $SqlCredential, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-DbaInstance -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 = $server.Query("SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceDefaultdataPath') as Data").Data } if ($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 = $server.Query("SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceDefaultLogPath') as Log").Log } if ($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 } } } } #
