    Alters to what?

    If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.


  • [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null

    $a = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ScriptingOptions
    $DateTime = (Get-Date).ToString("yyyyMMdd-HHmmss")
    $instanceName = "$(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(SRVR))";
    $instanceName = $instanceName.Replace("\","$")
    $directory_location = "H:\SQL_Backups" + $instanceName + "\Objects"
    new-item $directory_location -itemtype directory
    $a.filename = $directory_location + "\_" + $DateTime + "_Operators.sql"

    $a.AppendToFile = $True
    $a.ToFileOnly = $true
    $a.ScriptBatchTerminator = $true

    $srv = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server" $(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(SRVR))
    $srv.JobServer.Operators | foreach {$_.Script($a)}

    This is for operators.  I do not script out alerts, they are the same set on every servers.

    If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

    DBATools (https://dbatools.io/) makes this really simple and will generate valid sp_add* scripts for you. 


    $server = 'ServerName' #specify your target server
    $filename = 'C:\outputfolder\{0}_export.sql' -f ($server) #change your folder and name your output file

    get-dbaagentalert -sqlserver $server | export-dbascript -path $filename -append
    get-dbaagentoperator -sqlserver $server | export-dbascript -path $filename -append

    It's also a great toolset in general for SQL Server operations and administration.

    Which is actually what I am in the process of switching to!

    I can't say enough good things about it. It's easily the most handy toolset I've adopted for tasks of this nature.

  • Thanks Guys
