In this post, I am sharing a script for finding the Service Account Name which used by the SQL Server Windows services like SQL Agent.

Using xp_instance_regread, you can find this information.

Please check the below script:

DECLARE @ServiceAccountName varchar(50)
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
	N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'
	,N'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLSERVER'
	,N'ObjectName'
	,@ServiceAccountName OUTPUT
	
SELECT @ServiceAccountName AS ServiceAccountName

Result:

ServiceAccountName
------------------------
NT Service\MSSQLSERVER

In this post, I am sharing one SQL Script to find the information about CPU or processor, which is used by the SQL Server.

We have deployed different SQL Servers and instances at the client’s data center.
Now our team is required to find and generate a small report about the CPU information of all the running SQL Server.

Using xp_instance_regread, we can find the CPU information from the registry.

EXEC xp_instance_regread
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
'HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0',
'ProcessorNameString';
