Hello,
I am new to Powershell and I have been asked to get the SQL Server Database data path and insert this veriable into a script to gather permissions from the folders and inserts them into a csv file. I have insert my code so far below
Any help would be much appriciated.
Param (
[STRING] $SQLSERVER = "Server, port"
)
$permsLogFile = "C:\Users\Output.txt"
Write-Output "Start of the script" > $permsLogFile
$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server=$SQLSERVER;Database=master;Integrated Security=True"
$SqlCmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
$SqlCmd.CommandText = "SELECT SUBSTRING(filename,1,CHARINDEX('A\master.',filename)) from master..sysdatabases WHERE name = 'master'"
$SqlCmd.Connection = $SqlConnection
$SqlAdapter = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
$SqlAdapter.SelectCommand = $SqlCmd
$DataSet = New-Object System.Data.DataSet
$SqlAdapter.Fill($DataSet)
$networkPath = $DataSet.Tables[0]
$subFolders = Get-ChildItem -Name $networkPath
foreach ($Folder in $subFolders){
$cmd = "cacls $networkPath\$Folder"
Write-Output "Running Commamnd:" $networkPath >> $permsLogFile
Invoke-Expression $cmd | Write-Output >> $permsLogFile}
$SqlConnection.Close()

So does it work or is it giving errors??? If it's giving errors, what are they???

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. This is the error I get once I execute the script in powershell:
Get-ChildItem : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\System.Data.DataRow' because it does not exist.
At C:\Users\Get-Permissions.ps1:18 char:28
+ $subFolders = Get-ChildItem <<<< -Name $networkPath

Wouldn't this do the same?
$sName = "mysvr"
$dbName = "mydb"
$server = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server($sName)
$db = $server.Databases[$dbName]
Get-ChildItem $db.PrimaryFilePath -Recurse | Where-Object{($_.psiscontainer)} | Get-Acl
# ..

A solution using PrimaryFilePath will only account for the location of the primary data file for the database specified. If that database has multiple data files and one of those files is not located in the same path the solution, or if another database on the instance has files in a different location, then the script will not report all the required details.
To be more complete I think you will want to iterate over the databases collection. Then for each database iterate over the filegroups collections. Within that iterate over the files collection and capture the database name and directory. Do the same for log files collection of database object.
Once you have a complete list of where all data or log files reside per your instance you can use Get-ACL on each one and deliver the results.

Thanks for the responses. I am unsure how to loop through each database to get the data file location. Any help on this would be appriciated.
I would like to incorperate this into the code. The output from this is exactly what I need:
$subFolders = Get-ChildItem -Name $networkPath
foreach ($Folder in $subFolders){
$cmd = "cacls $networkPath\$Folder"
Write-Output "Running Commamnd: $cmd" >> $permsLogFile
Invoke-Expression $cmd | Write-Output >> $permsLogFile}
I need help with getting the database file path location for each database and run the path through the code above. Can anyone help?

You'll have to modify the output formating to fit your needs but this is a very verbose way to list files for all filegroups and databases.
$sName = 'mysrr'
$server = new-object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $sName
foreach ($db in $server.Databases) {
$db.name
$fg = $db.FileGroups
foreach ($group in $fg) {
$group.Name
foreach ($file in $group.Files) {
$file.FileName
}
}
foreach ($log in $db.LogFiles) {
$log.FileName
}
}

What bruce provided is exactly what I described. You can use the Split-Path cmdlet to get the directory names as you move thorugh the collection of data and log files. Like this:
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
$instanceName = '.\STANDARD2008R2'
$filePaths = @()
$server = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $instanceName
foreach ($db in $server.Databases) {
#$db.name
$fg = $db.FileGroups
foreach ($group in $fg) {
#$group.Name
foreach ($file in $group.Files) {
$filePaths += (Split-Path -Path $file.FileName -Parent)
}
}
foreach ($log in $db.LogFiles) {
$filePaths += (Split-Path -Path $log.FileName -Parent)
}
}
$filePaths = $filePaths | Select-Object -Unique
# array now contains unique list of paths where data or log files exist
$filePaths
You can now tack your code onto the end of this script inputting the $filePaths array into your foreach loop to call cacls on each path.

opc.three is correct the PrimaryFilePath won't help much here, apologies.
However doing something like this
$server = "svr"
$sqlserver = new-object “Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server” $server
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "SELECT a.name ,
b.filename
FROM sys.sysdatabases a
INNER JOIN sys.sysaltfiles b ON a.dbid = b.dbid
WHERE fileid <> 2
ORDER BY name ;" -ServerInstance $sqlserver
should be closer to get the data file paths..just don't forget to add the snapins required.
And I also suggest using the Get-acl cmdlet.

Hello,
Sorry for the (very) late response I have been away. I have gone down a different road and I am currently stuck with this at the moment:
[String] $inventoryinstance="Server\Instance"
[String] $inventorydatabase="Database"
$smoAssembly = [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo")
if (!($smoVersion))
{ Set-Variable -name SmoVersion -value $smoAssembly.GetName().Version.Major -Scope Global -Option Constant
-Description "SQLPSX variable" }
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMOExtended') > $null
#Get-DataFilePath
function Get-DataFilePathList
{
$instance = New-Object ('Microsoft.SQLServer.Management.SMO.Server') $inventoryinstance
$database = $instance.Databases[$inventorydatabase]
#Param ($database)
$result=$database.ExecuteWithResults("SELECT InstanceName, DBName, DataFilePath from
dbo.tblDatabases")
$result.Tables | foreach {$_.Rows}
}
Get-DataFilePathList | foreach {$_.DataFilePath | Write-Output}
The output from this is the data file directories:
D:\MSSQL10.DEV806MSSQL\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf
D:\MSSQL10.DEV806MSSQL\MSSQL\DATA\tempdb.mdf
D:\MSSQL10.DEV806MSSQL\MSSQL\DATA\model.mdf
D:\MSSQL10.DEV806MSSQL\MSSQL\DATA\MSDBData.mdf
D:\MSSQL10.DEV806MSSQL\MSSQL\Data\DBA_Maint.mdf
What's the best way to feed the output from this; $_.DataFilePath into a Foreach loop to get the permissions. (cacls/Get-Acl)
Thanks in advance for the response.

Can anyone help with my previous comment?
I need to be able to loop around each of the directories above to get the folder permissions. (cacls)
July 6, 2012 at 7:42 am
I didn't feel like learning your code because I provided a solution to get you to a list of directories. Picking up where my code left off you could do something like this:
foreach($filePath in $filePaths)
{
}
