Good Day,

I am looking for small .bat code to find the status of SQL Server windows services.

In fact I have tried to find it on google but no luck Sad

Appreciate if anybody can help with this.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!!!

There is useful command line utility called "SC". With this you can query the service status as below.

SC query mssqlserver

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

I have uploaded an attachment of a .vbs file (I changed the extension to .txt for uploading) that I put together to monitor windows services every few minutes and e-mail me with any changes. I would run this through a scheduled task and it worked great. The only problem was that if the server was restarted for any reason, the job would not run and I would have to start it manually. The script may be useful for you anyway. If anyone can figure out why it won't restart automatically let me know.

Here's a way of doing it in T-SQL. Obviously it won't work if the SQL Server service itself isn't running!

EXEC master.dbo.xp_servicecontrol 'QUERYSTATE', 'SQLAgent'

Thank you, John.

Your query works but in case if SQL server is down we won't be able to track it.

So any solutions are welcome; when SQL server stops :)

You can create a scheduled job in another sql server on another box. Create a link and then run a simple query like "select count(*) from linkname..sys.sysdatabases;". You can schedule the job to run every minute and if the job fails, notify you by email.

Using Powershell installed on any system that has network access:

PS> Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -computer {computer} | ? {$_.Name -like 'MSSQL*'} | Select Name, State

You can then extend this to send email what the state is not running, or you can issue a start, or anything else.

you could use VBS something along the lines of

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT * FROM Win32_Service where displayname like '%sql%'",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "Win32_Service instance"
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "DisplayName: " & objItem.DisplayName
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name
Wscript.Echo "ProcessId: " & objItem.ProcessId
Wscript.Echo "Status: " & objItem.Status
Next

Hello '2 Tim 3:16',

Nice solution We can cerate the link server and surely it works but what if customer do not agree for link server?

Also due to some security issues some of the client do not allow linked server :)

Thank you Jeffrey & Perry for your inputs.

Cheers!!!
