Hello

I have an SQL-Server 2008 management server from witch I start a TSQL like that:
EXEC sp_MSforeachdb @command1 = 'select * from ?.sys.database_files'

How I do this for more Servers?

I tried with this command, but it doesn't run:
USE Server1.master
EXEC sp_MSforeachdb @command1 = 'select * from ?.sys.database_files'

I configured a linked server to Server1.

Thanks a lot
miller

This command doesn't run too:

EXEC sp_MSforeachdb @command1 = 'select * from srvdentw.?.sys.database_files'

If you tell us what "doesn't run" means we should be able to help you better.

USE Server1.master

USE statement only works for local databases. Try callin' like this:

EXECUTE Server1.master.sys.sp_msforeachdb 'PRINT ''?'''

This requires RPC to be enabled.

Another option would be a hack by using OPENQUERY.

Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "srvdentw" does not contain the table ""model"."sys"."database_files"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.

the linked server user is the same user as the service is started on remote sql-server

thanks miller

EXECUTE srvdentw.master.sys.sp_msforeachdb 'PRINT ''?'''

Msg 7411, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Either turn on RPC, or try it like this:

EXEC ('EXECUTE master.sys.sp_msforeachdb ''PRINT ''''?'''''''')  AT srvdentw

Wow! Never saw this syntax. Thanks Barry! Smile

@mick miller: I think EXECUTE AT should be the most simple solution.

I always try to avoid linked servers !

With sql2008 SSMS you can connect to a server group and execute a centrain sql script at onece on the whole group !!
This is a very cool feature ! (Check books online)

Off course you could also SQLCMD to connect to your # servers and collect the data you want.

Thanks, Flo. It's in BOL, but I think that I learned it from Erland's blog.
