The Scripts

Last week I did a podcast for geekSpeak and a similar session at SQL Saturday #38 in Jacksonville.  I’ve already blogged about most of the scripts in those sessions but here is a download of a bunch of those scripts.  I have changed them a little from the way they were written in my session so that they can run independently without worrying about whether or not you need to load a snapin or module.  If you need it to run the script, it’s in there.  Don’t forget that for all but one of them you will either need to have SSMS 2008 installed or the SQLPSX codeplex project.

If you don’t remember which script it was that you were interested in, here’s the recording of the session that I did for geekSpeak.

Enjoy!

Oh, and don’t forget Buck Woody’s disclaimer about running scripts you find on the internet:

Script Disclaimer, for people who need to be told this sort of thing:
 
 Never trust any script, including those that you find here, until you understand exactly what it does and how it will act on your systems. Always check the script on a test system or Virtual Machine, not a production system. All scripts on this site are performed by a professional stunt driver on a closed course. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited. Offer good for a limited time only. Keep out of reach of small children. Do not operate heavy machinery while using this script. If you experience blurry vision, indigestion or diarrhea during the operation of this script, see a physician immediately.
