Syntax 

Get-OdbcDsn
   [[-Name] <String>]
   [-DriverName <String>]

   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<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) , Data Sources , and Drivers on the Microsoft Developer Network.

Examples

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.

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-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.

Type: CimSession[]
Aliases: Session
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-DriverName

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.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-DsnType

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.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: User, System, All
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Name

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.

Type: String
Aliases: DsnName
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Platform

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.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: 32-bit, 64-bit, All
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ThrottleLimit

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.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
