This topic describes how to query multiple servers at the same time in [!INCLUDE[ssnoversion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)], by creating a local server group, or a Central Management Server and one or more server groups, and one or more registered servers within the groups, and then querying the complete group.

25-
The results returned by the query can be combined into a single results pane, or can be returned in separate results panes. The results set can include additional columns for the server name and the login used by the query on each server. Central Management Servers and subordinate servers can be registered by using only Windows Authentication. Servers in local server groups can be registered by using Windows Authentication or [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Authentication.

Because the connections maintained by a Central Management Server execute in the context of the user, by using Windows Authentication, the effective permissions on the registered servers might vary. For example, the user might be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role on the instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] A, but have limited permissions on the instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] B.
