Is it possible to execute a stored procedure (or any T-SQL) against a Central Management Server (CMS) via a SQL Agent job?

The idea here is to exercise the CMS to hit all the registered instances with a query (or action), in an unattended (non-SSMS, non-real time) way.

  • Jason had suggested this type of action may be possible via PowerShell. Not using Powershell would be preferred, but being able to do this at all is even more preferred.

  • Might be on to something from an old K.Tripp blog post. In MSDB: sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal

The answer to this is: not possible, however my research lead me to these tables in MSDB which are used to populate the CMS registered servers. These tables can be referenced in your code:

sysmanagement_shared_registered_servers_internal

sysmanagement_shared_server_groups_internal
