NAME Get-OdbcDsn



SYNOPSIS

Gets ODBC DSNs.





SYNTAX

Get-OdbcDsn [[-Name] <String>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-DriverName <String>] [-DsnType {User | System | All}] [-Platform {32-bit | 64-bit | All}]

[-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Get-OdbcDsn cmdlet gets Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) data source names (DSNs) from the computer. You can specify values for the Name, DsnType,

Platform, and DriverName parameters. If you do not specify Name or DriverName, the cmdlet gets all DSN names and all driver names respectively. If you

do not specify any parameter, the cmdlet gets all ODBC DSNs from the computer.



For more information about ODBC, data source names, and drivers, see Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710252.aspx), Data Sources (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms711688.aspx), and Drivers

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms711688.aspx) on the Microsoft Developer Network.





PARAMETERS

-Name [<String>]

Specifies the name of an ODBC DSN. You can use wildcard characters to specify more than one ODBC DSN. If you do not specify this parameter, this

cmdlet returns all ODBC DSNs.



Required? false

Position? 1

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DsnType [<String>]

Specifies the type of an ODBC DSN. This cmdlet gets DSNs of the type that this parameter specifies. The acceptable values for this parameter are:



-- User

-- System

-- All



The default value is All.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Platform [<String>]

Specifies the platform architecture. This cmdlet gets the ODBC DSN that belong to the architecture that this parameter specifies. The acceptable

values for this parameter are:



-- 32-bit

-- 64-bit

-- All



The default value is All. If you run this cmdlet in a remote CIM session, this parameter refers to the platform architecture on the remote computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DriverName [<String>]

Specifies the name of a driver. This cmdlet gets ODBC DSNs that use the specified ODBC driver. You can use wildcard characters. If you do not

specify this parameter, this cmdlet gets all ODBC DSNs.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is

entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).



INPUTS









OUTPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#MSFT_OdbcDsn[]







Example 1: Get all DSNs



PS C:\\> Get-OdbcDsn



This command gets all ODBC User DSNs and System DSNs that use 32-bit or 64-bit ODBC drivers.





Example 2: Get ODBC System DSNs by name



PS C:\\> Get-OdbcDsn -Name "MyPayroll" -DsnType "System" -Platform "32-bit"



This command gets the ODBC System DSNs named MyPayroll stored in the 32-bit registry location.





Example 3: Get ODBC DSNs with names that contain a string



PS C:\\> Get-OdbcDsn -Name "*Payroll*"



This command gets all ODBC User DSNs and System DSNs with names that contain the string Payroll. The DSNs are stored in the native hive of the registry

location.





Example 4: Get all ODBC User DSNs for specified driver



PS C:\\> $DsnArray = Get-OdbcDsn -DriverName "SQL Server*"



This command gets all ODBC User DSNs that use a driver that has the specified name, and then stores those DSN in the $DsnArray variable.
