Exporting SQL Server configuration

  • We are in process of building a new Server for our SQL 2005.

    The current SQL Server 2005 , we made few configuration changes to it over the period of 3-4 years (example being some linked servers) which is not documented .

    We would like to have all the configuration exported from the current server and load those configuration into new server.

    Some of the things i can think of are

    - Server settings

    - All Existing the Logins

    - All Linked Servers

    - xp_command shell Configuration

    - Config for Activex

    - Database Email Configurations

    - Jobs/alerts/

    - Configuring the secure locations

    Is there a utility available to do that ?

    Thanks

  • Hi Friends,

    there is no Utility available in sql server.

    1.You can create generate scripts(script for databases and objects inside databases (Logins,

    Data)

    2.Linked server :http://www.idera.com/SQL-Toolbox/sql-admin-toolset/

    3.u can take backup of master and msdb and model database restore on your target server.(server settings and database mail configurations and jobs and alerts..etc)

    maybe this will help you ..

    Thanks&Regards,

    SQL server DBA
