# SQL Server Estate Manager

A small project to manage your estate, patching, and license compliance

This project is licensed under [the 3-Clause BSD License](LICENSE).

## Setup Instructions

### To install

* Clone this repo.

* From the sql-server-estate-manager folder, run the install script:

  * `./Install-LatestEstateDatabase.ps1 -InstanceName "PRODSQL123"`

    * This will create a `sql_server_estate_manager` database on the server `PRODSQL123`. 

    * Optionally, you can use the `-DatabaseName` parameter to use a non-default database name.

* Schedule `\pwsh\Get-SqlServerEstateInfo.ps1` to run on a schedule.

  * If you've installed the database on `PRODSQL123` using the instructions above, you will want to schedule the execution of the following PowerShell command:

    * `./Get-SqlServerEstateInfo.ps1 -InstanceName "PRODSQL123"`

  * If you've used a non-default database name, you will need to use the `-DatabaseName` parameter to additionally specify the correct database:

    * `./Get-SqlServerEstateInfo.ps1 -InstanceName "PRODSQL123" -DatabaseName "EstateManager"`

  * You likely want to copy this script to a management server and schedule it to run on a daily basis, using the scheduling software of your choice. (SQL Agent works fine.)

### To configure

Populate the `dbo.Servers` table with all servers in your environment. This table has two required fields: 

* **`ServerName`** - This is the "normal" host name of your server. ex) PRODSQL123

* **`ServerFQDN`** - This is the fully qualfied domain name of your server. ex) PRODSQL123.contoso.com
