param(
[string]$PackageFolder = "C:\SSIS\Packages",
[switch]$Verbose
)
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $PackageFolder -Filter *.dtsx -Recurse
foreach($file in $files)
[xml]$xml = Get-Content $file.FullName
$sources = $xml.SelectNodes("//DTS:Executable[@DTS:refId]//DTS:Component[@DTS:ComponentClassID='...OleDbSource...']", $null)
foreach($src in $sources)
$sql = $src.SelectSingleNode(".//DTS:Property[@DTS:Name='SqlCommand']").'#text'
$validate = $src.SelectSingleNode(".//DTS:Property[@DTS:Name='ValidateExternalMetadata']").'#text'
if($sql -match 'SELECT\s+\*' -and $validate -eq 'True')
