SQL SERVER – 2005 Retrieve Configuration of Server

Few days ago I was asked what is our SQL Server’s configuration. I provided way more information then they requested.

Run following script and it will provide all the information about SQL Server . SQL Server provides in detailed information if Advanced Options are turned on. It is very clear from this that maximum number of object SQL Server can have is 2,147,483,647. It is considerably very big number. I am not worried yet about my database reaching its limit.
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC sp_configure
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 0
GO
To change any configuration run following script using values from the NAME column of following result set. e.g. To change Resource Timeout run following script.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'resource timeout', 100
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
Results Set:
Configuration option ‘show advanced options’ changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
