Like Jason said, this is recorded in the default trace, so you can just query it to look for growth events.

Something like this would do the trick:

DECLARE @filename NVARCHAR(4000);

-- Current default trace

SELECT @filename = CAST(value AS NVARCHAR(4000))

FROM ::

FN_TRACE_GETINFO(DEFAULT)

WHERE traceid = 1

AND property = 2

-- Preserve the path and replace the current default trace with log.trc

SET @filename = LEFT(@filename,

LEN(@filename) - CHARINDEX('\',REVERSE(@filename)))

+ '\log.trc'

-- Auto growth events in the current trace file

SELECT

TE.name AS [EventName],

T.DatabaseName,

t.DatabaseID,

t.NTDomainName,

t.ApplicationName,

t.LoginName,

t.SPID,

t.IntegerData/128 AS MBGrown,

t.Duration,

t.StartTime,

t.EndTime,

t.textdata

FROM sys.fn_trace_gettable ( @filename, DEFAULT) T

JOIN sys.trace_events TE ON T.EventClass = TE.trace_event_id

WHERE TE.name like '%grow%'

ORDER BY t.StartTime;

Cheers!
