Is there a way to easily get this information using TSQL or do I have to create an Active X vbscript and run that as a job. Thanks for your help in advance.

Search this site for a vbs script that has been already posted that will give you a list of all user databases in an excel format for multiple servers/instances.

I found an example that works as a vbscript to run but I want to put this into a T-SQL statement. There don't appear to be examples that do this.

Dim oDBConnect,sQuery,oRecordSet

'WScript.Echo sServerName

Set oDBConnect = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

oDBConnect.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=master;Data Source=" & sServerName

sQuery = "select * from sysdatabases"

Set oRecordSet = oDBConnect.Execute(sQuery)

oRecordSet.MoveFirst

While Not oRecordSet.EOF

wscript.echo oRecordSet("Name")

oRecordSet.MoveNext

Wend

Set oRecordSet = Nothing

Set oDBConnect = Nothing

Start with OSQL -L

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
