PowerShell script to list info about SSAS databases

Read here first on how to use PowerShell.

Here is the PowerShell script that lists all SSAS databases and info about them (cubes and measure groups) from one instance. Copy code below and save it to file SSAS-All-DB-Info.ps1:

# Sample command to start:
# powershell.exe c:\projects\ps\ssas\ssas-All-DB-info.ps1 -ServerName Vidas-lenovo
# This script will list all SSAS databases and info about them (cubes and measure groups) from one instance

param($ServerName="localhost")

## Add the AMO namespace
$loadInfo = [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.AnalysisServices")

$server = New-Object Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Server
$server.connect($ServerName)
if ($server.name -eq $null) {
 Write-Output ("Server '{0}' not found" -f $ServerName)
 break
}

foreach ($d in $server.Databases )
{
 Write-Output ( "Database: {0}; Status: {1}; Size: {2}MB" -f $d.Name, $d.State, ($d.EstimatedSize/1024/1024).ToString("#,##0") )

 foreach ($cube in $d.Cubes) {
  Write-Output ( " Cube: {0}" -f $Cube.Name )
  foreach ($mg in $cube.MeasureGroups) {
   Write-Output ( "  MG: {0}; Status: {1}; Size: {2}MB" -f $mg.Name.PadRight(25), $mg.State, ($mg.EstimatedSize/1024/1024).tostring("#,##0"))
# Uncomment following 3 lines if you want to show partition info  
#   foreach ($part in $mg.Partitions) {
#    Write-Output ( "   Partition: {0}; Status: {1}; Size: {2}MB" -f $part.Name.PadRight(35), $part.State, ($part.EstimatedSize/1024/1024).ToString("#,##0") )
#   } # Partition
  } # Measure group
# Uncomment following 3 lines if you want to show dimension info
#  foreach ($dim in $d.Dimensions) {
#   Write-Output ( "Dimension: {0}" -f $dim.Name)
#  } # Dimensions

 } # Cube

} # Databases

To run this job execute following command:

powershell.exe c:\projects\ps\ssas\ssas-all-db-info.ps1 -ServerName Vidas-lenovo

Here is sample result:
