Database administrators need simple and quick ways to manage their SQL Server environment. SQL Admin Toolset provides 24 essential desktop tools for SQL Server to save time by simplifying routine administrative and troubleshooting tasks.

Reduce time spent on daily SQL Server administration.

Easily run daily admin tasks across multiple SQL Server instances.

Simplify migrating, consolidating, and creating SQL Server instances.

Eliminate manual, time-consuming, and error-prone admin tasks.

SQL Admin Toolset helps you manage, discover, and explore your SQL Server environment. Avoid spending countless hours on routine administration, diagnostics, and analytics tasks across multiple instances. Skip writing and maintaining complex and error-prone scripts.

SBetter manage logins and security.

Copy logins between instances to keep logins synchronized between instances. Evaluate and strengthen password policies to see which logins are at risk to increase the strength of passwords. Test instance connections and troubleshoot common issues surrounding connectivity problems to ensure that users can connect to instances.

Better manage objects.

Find specific words or text phrases in SQL schema objects. View columns and indexes contained in specific tables and view their properties and performance statistics within instances. Find tables and objects by searching for specific words or text phrases in object names.

Better manage migrations.

Create new logins by using existing logins as templates by cloning immediately or generating T-SQL scripts for preview and editing. Move and copy databases within or across instances while preserving their data files and logins to (for example) transfer performance intensive databases to faster storage to speed up performance.

Better manage inventory and configurations.

Identify disk space usage across instances by drive or database to proactively plan capacity for instances, databases, and hardware. Collect real-time statistics and performance counters to determine the health of instances. Keep instances updated with supported versions, and latest patches and hotfixes.

  • Backup Status
    Safeguard that SQL Server databases have proper backups, identify databases that have no backup, know when databases were last backed up, identify disabled and failing backup plans, and view backup status across all instances. When it is time to restore, do not find out that recent backups do not exist.
  • SQL Search
    Find words and phrases in SQL code, perform a global search and replace, search for exact words, phrases, and wildcards, see the full SQL source in search results, and save search results. Save time on tasks like updating copyright notices and changing all usages of stored procedure calls.
  • Object Search
    Find objects across SQL Server environments, search for words and phrases used in object names, search across all objects in instances and server groups, search using wildcards, and save search results. Determine where particular objects exist and the number of specific objects residing in instances.
  • SQL Discovery
    Find new and rogue SQL Server instances on networks, use multiple scan types to increase search effectiveness, and check the configuration of discovered instances. Identify and group newly found instances. Then properly lock down these instances to prevent future security issues.
  • Password Checker
    Find weak passwords that make SQL Server instances vulnerable to attack, replace weak passwords with strong passwords, use industry best practices, and company password policies to test password strength, and save test results. Eliminate weak passwords and security holes from instances.
  • Connection Check
    Identify connection problems for SQL Server instances, and diagnose why users cannot login to instances. Check the status of instances, host computers, network connections and client machines. Resolve connection problems using best practices.
  • Multi Query
    Run queries against multiple SQL Server instances and databases at the same time, make changes in bulk, create and reuse target lists of instances and databases, save the returned result sets, and track statistics and object properties over time. Quickly perform operations on multiple instances at once.
  • Database Mover
    Move and copy databases from one SQL Server instance to another, move and copy logins along with the database, copy and rename a database on the same instance, and relocate the data files for a database to a different storage device while keeping the database on the same instance.
  • Login Copy
    Synchronize SQL Server instances logins between two instances, compare instances to see which logins do not match, and supplement existing backup and recovery scripts by capturing the logins stored outside the databases at the server level. Easily administer logins on parallel environments.

    Reindex SQL Server instances, view fragmentation levels across indexes, rebuild and reorganize indexes to reduce fragmentation levels, filter results by instance, database and table, sort indexes based on fragmentation level, size and name, and filter to hide small and disabled indexes.
  • Server Configuration
    Review, compare, and edit configuration settings of one and multiple SQL Server instances, diagnose problems and identify unwanted differences, identify configuration changes over time, roll out configuration changes to one and multiple instances, and report on configuration settings.
  • Database Configuration
    Review, compare and edit configuration settings of one and multiple databases, diagnose problems and identify unwanted differences, identify configuration changes over time, roll out configuration changes to one and multiple databases, and report on configuration settings by instance and by server group.

  • Linked Server Copy
    Easily copy login credentials for remotely linked SQL Server servers, view all available linked servers, monitor the status of login passwords that are movable, easily see the move status of copied permissions that, and maintain remote connectivity for query login permission.
  • Inventory Reporter
    Capture inventory and configuration details about SQL Server instances and their host computers, compare captured inventory data against previous snapshots and other instances, highlight differences, create inventory reports, and export data for use in scripts and application.
  • Patch Analyzer
    Keep SQL Server instances properly patched, identify unsupported versions of instances running on servers, identify available service packs and hotfixes, and view Microsoft Knowledge Base articles associated with service packs and hotfixes.
