I've done some more research and Redgate's SQL Monitor might be what I'm looking for.  I'm surprised no one recommended it though, so I'm a bit leary.  I'll start a new thread on it.</description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:46:48 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>scogeb</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Job to query multiple instances at once</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1394075-1550-1.aspx</link><description>hi,you can use sql server administration wizard this is new feature right click on sql server agent  you will get multi server administration wizard,select master server (where you can create job)select target server (where job automatically replicate)please find below linkhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180992(v=sql.100).aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191305.aspx</description><pubDate>Mon, 10 Dec 2012 05:40:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Hemant.R</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Job to query multiple instances at once</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1394075-1550-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]scogeb (12/7/2012)[/b][hr]...I would like to set up some jobs to query all of the instances for certain things and then email me the results...[/quote]I don't know how many instances you have, but I've setup something for myself that collects some daily information about each instance and stores the data in one central database that only I use.  The SQL Agent job I created reaches the other servers using SELECT ... FROM OPENROWSET () methodology so I don't need linked servers.  You can create the commands from a table with a list of instances, and execute it as dynamic SQL with sp_executesql.</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:13:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Chris Harshman</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Job to query multiple instances at once</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1394075-1550-1.aspx</link><description>You could use an SSIS package, as described here:http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/sqlstudies/2012/10/31/looping-through-multiple-servers-in-ssis/</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:57:46 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>lptech</dc:creator></item><item><title>Job to query multiple instances at once</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1394075-1550-1.aspx</link><description>Like most environments, we have a bunch of SQL servers.  I would like to set up some jobs to query all of the instances for certain things and then email me the results.  I have a Central Management Server setup and it works great and my queries get me what I need, but I can't schedule a job through the CMS, so it's still a manual process.  Does anyone have something set up to do this?  I thought about one instance with a ton of linked servers but I'm not sure if that's the best direction to go.  Just wondering if anyone has a better solution.</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 08:06:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>scogeb</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
