Blog covers all things for Microsoft SQL Server



Webinar review of: Top 5 SQL Server Challenges Automated with PowerShell held on 5/29/19 by Kevin Kline. Kline serves as Principal Program Manager at SentryOne and was the moderator over these presenters: Chrissy LeMaire – Maintainer – dbatools, Sander Stad – Maintainer – PSDatabaseClone, Rob Sewell – Maintainer – dbachecks, Kirill Kravtsov – Maintainer – dbops.

Here’s the list of points I gleaned from the webinar and information on the Powershell tools at their respective webinks.

Automate migrations of SQL Server databases between servers

Preventative maintenance checks on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis

Provisioning security for SQL Server databases, including data masking

Automate Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) of code to SQL Server databases

Logging errors and messages in PowerShell cmdlets

  • Pipe all results of dbatools to a SQL database table
  • These and many more commands at https://dbatools.io . dbatools is a free PowerShell module with over 500 SQL Server best practice, administration, development and migration commands included.

The webinar is a thumbs up must for DBAs needing to jump start or dramatically improve their use of Powershell. The scripts to automate and manage one or multiple SQL servers are a bonus.

After this webinbar, DBAs will be up for the challenge of Powershell. Right?
