TSQL Script to create Default Database Email

Recently we did a installation of some bulk SQL Server for various purpose. Now we needed database Email to be configured on each server and there had to be some standard. I worked out this my Making a generic script which can be used and run on any machine and which maintain symmetry

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1

DECLARE
    @profile    VARCHAR(100),
    @display    VARCHAR(100),

    @accountname    Varchar(100)

SELECT
    @profile    = 'MyProfileName_DB_Mail_Profile_' + @@ServerName,
    @display    = 'MyProfileName_DB_Mail_Account_' + @@ServerName,
    @emailaddr    = 'MyRequiredEmailAddress' + @@servername + '@myDomain.com',
    @accountname    = 'MyAlertName_Alert_Account';

        @account_name = @accountname,

Updating Email ID for Alerts and Mail Items

Recently I came across a situation where in I had to change the Email ID for all alerts and Mail Items on multiple servers. If you want to accomplish this through GUI it would be quite painful. After digging out I found out an easy way.

1. You can accomplish this by running the below set of query on individual servers.

2. You can accomplish this by running the below set of query on Central Management Server.

For how to configure Central Management Server(CMS) I will add a link soon or may in next post.

Query:

update msdb..sysoperators set email_address = 'YourEmailID@YourDomain' where name='YourAlertName'

GO

update a SET a.recipients='YourEmailID@YourDomain' 

from msdb..sysmail_mailitems a

inner join msdb..sysmail_profile b

on a.profile_id = b.profile_id

where b.description=’YourDescriptionName’
