Good SQL script Colin… It works great for me on 2000/2005/2008. And it’s really slick when ran as multi-server CMS query.

It’s very useful for our environment and I wonder why I haven’t seen anything like this before!

Not doing much just being anal and not trusting my job notification failures… so this is my adhoc sniff test

I even have a policy setup to check that all my prod jobs have notification on failure configured… but I have trust issues LOL

SQL Crotch this is fantastical… I’m going to tweak it to link to a SQL 2008 Central Management server and get it’s server list from there… but all in all this is looking like a SQL Bacon Nugget of Excellence award in the making

Nice work sir… very nice work!

One thing too, to filter out to see only the faleid, replace this line (16)
$s.JobServer.Jobs | Where-Object{$_.IsEnabled -eq $true -and $_.LastRunOutCome -ne “Succeeded”} | SELECT NAME, LASTRUNOUTCOME, LASTRUNDATE

To get a an idea of what objects are available, try puting a SELECT * where SELECT NAME, LAST… etc that’s where those objects are coming from

Hey buddy, give this a shot! Not sure about the 2000 requirement, not sure if SMO was there yet.

I can’t use that cause it’s a SQL 2005+ stored procedure and I still have SQL 2000 in my environment.

sp_help_jobactivity does look cleaner then sp_help_job and I don’t think I’d get the same:

Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_get_composite_job_info, Line 67
An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.

error from the looks of the source code behind sp_help_jobactivity… but the whole SQL 2000 thing kills this idea

Thanks though!
