SQL Server Central Management Servers extension (Preview)

Important

Azure Data Studio is retiring on February 28, 2026. We recommend that you use the MSSQL extension for Visual Studio Code. For more information about migrating to Visual Studio Code, visit What's happening to Azure Data Studio?

The Central Management Servers extension allows users to store a list of instances of SQL Server that is organized into one or more groups. Actions that are taken using a CMS group act on all servers in the server group.
