I have gone through and made some minor updates and bug fixes for all of my SQL Server Diagnostic Information Queries for this month. Rather than having a separate blog post for each version, I’ll just put the links for all four versions here.
SQL Server 2005 Diagnostic Information Queries SQL Server 2005 Blank Results
SQL Server 2008 Diagnostic Information Queries SQL Server 2008 Blank Results
SQL Server 2008 R2 Diagnostic Information Queries SQL Server 2008 R2 Blank Results
SQL Server 2012 Diagnostic Information Queries SQL Server 2012 Blank Results
About half of the queries are instance specific and about half are database specific, so you will want to make sure you are connected to a database that you are concerned about instead of the master, system database.
The idea is that you would run each query in the set, one at a time (after reading the directions). You need to click on the top left square of the results grid to select all of the results, and then right-click and select “Copy with Headers” to copy all of the results, including the column headers to the Windows clipboard. Then you paste the results into the matching tab in the spreadsheet.
There are also some comments on how to interpret the results after each query. Please let me know what you think of these queries.
Fantastic. Thanks a bunch. Now that we’re on sql 2012 Enterprise I sent DBA management the results of those queries dealing with compression opportunities.
First All, thanks for the script. It gave me a general view of my instances.
Also, it make me update my instances to newer service pack, because sys.dm_os_windows_info and others are only available from SP1+.
Reblogged this on Coffee and SQL.
These are always a big help. Thanks so much!

Glenn, this is a great way of documenting our instances and databases. I can see you have put a great deal of effort into this work. I can’t praise you enough and your efforts are highly appreciated.
Very useful!
A sugestion: Include Agent Job Information, like duration, errors, execution avg, jobs without notification
Awesome! Thanks for this!
