PowerShell - List all SQL instances on my system?

Is there a Powershell command to list all SQL开发者_如何学编程 instances on my system? (MS SQL 2008)

Just another way of doing it...can be a little quicker than SQLPS to get a quick answer.

(get-itemproperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server').InstalledInstances

Import powershell sql server extensions:

 Import-Module SqlServer 

Then do these commands

Set-Location SQLSERVER:\SQL\localhost
Get-ChildItem

I found that (for me at least) none of the above returned my SQL Express instance. I have 5 named instances, 4 full-fat SQL Server, 1 SQL Express. The 4 full-fat are included in the answers above, the SQL Express isn't. SO, I did a little digging around the internet and came across this article by James Kehr, which lists information about all SQL Server instances on a machine. I used this code as a basis for writing the function below.

# get all sql instances, defaults to local machine, '.'
Function Get-SqlInstances {
  Param($ServerName = '.')

  $localInstances = @()
  [array]$captions = gwmi win32_service -computerName $ServerName | ?{$_.Name -match "mssql*" -and $_.PathName -match "sqlservr.exe"} | %{$_.Caption}
  foreach ($caption in $captions) {
    if ($caption -eq "MSSQLSERVER") {
      $localInstances += "MSSQLSERVER"
    } else {
      $temp = $caption | %{$_.split(" ")[-1]} | %{$_.trimStart("(")} | %{$_.trimEnd(")")}
      $localInstances += "$ServerName\$temp"
    }
  }
  $localInstances
}

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlWmiManagement") | out-null
$mach = '.'
$m = New-Object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer') $mach
$m.ServerInstances

$a = "MyComputerName"

 [System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator]::Instance.GetDataSources() | ? { $_.servername -eq $a}

Aaron method return a more sure response. Read Here about Instance.GetDataSources()

The System.Data.Sql namespace contains classes that support SQL Server-specific functionality.

By using the System.Data.Sql namespace you can get all MSSQL instances on a machine using this command in windows power shell: [System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator]::Instance.GetDataSources()

This function it gonna return all the installed instances with the version details in a object list:

function ListSQLInstances {
$listinstances = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$installedInstances = (get-itemproperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server').InstalledInstances
foreach ($i in $installedInstances) {
    $instancefullname = (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL').$i
    $productversion = (Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\$instancefullname\Setup").Version
    $majorversion = switch -Regex ($productversion) {
        '8' { 'SQL2000' }
        '9' { 'SQL2005' }
        '10.0' { 'SQL2008' }
        '10.5' { 'SQL2008 R2' }
        '11' { 'SQL2012' }
        '12' { 'SQL2014' }
        '13' { 'SQL2016' }    
        '14' { 'SQL2017' } 
        '15' { 'SQL2019' } 
        default { "Unknown" }
    }
    $instance = [PSCustomObject]@{
        Instance             = $i
        InstanceNameFullName = $instancefullname;
        Edition              = (Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\$instancefullname\Setup").Edition;
        ProductVersion       = $productversion;
        MajorVersion         = $majorversion;
    }
    $listinstances.Add($instance)
}

Return $listinstances
}

$instances = ListSQLInstances
foreach ($instance in $instances) {
    Write-Host $instance.Instance
}
