Automating the Process of Checking Scale Out Deployment of SSRS using PowerShell

I am currently working on a project that involves managing and maintaining a large number of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) servers. One of the tasks that I need to perform is to check if the SSRS servers are configured for scale out deployment and what are the servers involved.

Normally, I would log on to the SSRS server and use the SSRS Configuration Manager to check the deployment type. However, as the number of servers increases, this manual process becomes time-consuming and error-prone.

I am looking for a way to automate this process and check the configuration of SSRS servers in a more efficient way. I have been researching and experimenting with PowerShell, and I believe that it may be a good solution for this task.

I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance that anyone can provide in terms of a PowerShell script or command that can help me check the scale out deployment of SSRS. I am particularly interested in any tips or best practices for automating this process, and any pitfalls to watch out for.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am still new to working with PowerShell and SSRS. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

    Hi @Robert L. Streicher

    Sorry I don't know much about PowerShell. I've searched the web for using PowerShell to inspect scale-out deployments for SSRS, but haven't found a directly relevant PowerShell statement. Perhaps the following links can be used as a reference for you. For detailed script statement writing, you may still need to seek help from professionals in this area.

    Best regards,
