And another one, using different logic – http://powershellcommunity.org/Forums/tabid/54/aft/6585/Default.aspx

You will have to adapt it for your purposes, though :)

Unfortunately it is not my decision whatsoever. I’ve been struggling with similar problem and what I evaluated as solutions are – using PowerShell which can easily execute a query agains a list of servers provided in a CSV file and the second one – to have a local admin database on each instance, which is populated by local SQL agent jobs and then I query the database(which is existing on all instances) via the CMS.

Would any of those work for you?

this is a good design.
Master Target servers is not the option i wanted to use because has nothing about Central Management server functionality , a master server for jobs can be defined even if the server is not the one used for Central Management server.

Let’s say you have server A and you register it as a “Central manager server”
then you inside this one you create a server group named : MONITOR
you register server B,C,D,E in this group (in reality i have more than 300 SQL servers)
Then you can right click this group MONITOR and connect to all the servers of this group in one shot and then execute queries against all the servers in this group.
Why can’t we automate this process in a job that would be in the server A
Is there a way to achieve this ??
or the only way to run queries against a big number of SQL server is to create linked servers for each of them in server A and then create a job in server A to run OPENQUERIES for each linked servers ??

i really appreciate all the comments because my intent is to learn.
Thanks for all your help

If you want it changed, probably a Connect item can be logged.
For the SQL Agent scheduling – you should use Master-target servers for this – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190662.aspx.

I wrote a similar PowerShell script that takes as input a CSV. The result is an export file that categorizing the servers into folders and color codes them. I wrote about it at: http://www.elijahg.com/post/2013/03/10/Create-A-SSMS-Export-File
