Checking IFI enabled on SQL server below 2016
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am using in one of my reports to check for status of IFI being enabled on SQL server.
It works well when using dmv sys.dm_server_services for SQL2016
However, in SQL2014 and SQL2012 i see difficulties in rendering this check via SQL query.
For example if i use below
EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Database Instant File Initialization';
There is no guarantee it will show status on file '0' and sometimes i keep querying the error log manually to find that out. How can i achieve the IFI check using a better way so that it can show up on my SSRS report

I haven’t actually tested this but the post uses PowerShell to check if the specified user account has been granted the local policy “Perform Volume Maintenance Tasks”. mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/5240/…

According to this MSSQLTips.com article, you can use sys.dm_server_services beginning with SQL 2012 SP4.
SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS [Server Name] ,
RIGHT(@@version, LEN(@@version) - 3 - CHARINDEX(' ON ', @@VERSION)) AS [OS Info] ,
LEFT(@@VERSION, CHARINDEX('-', @@VERSION) - 2) + ' '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion') AS NVARCHAR(300)) AS [SQL Server Version] ,
service_account ,
instant_file_initialization_enabled
FROM sys.dm_server_services
WHERE servicename LIKE 'SQL Server (%'
For older versions, you'll need to scrape the log, looking for "Database Instant File Initialization: enabled."

I've used it a few times, and it works correctly.
USE master
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
CREATE TABLE #xp_cmdshell_output (Output VARCHAR (8000));
GO
INSERT INTO #xp_cmdshell_output EXEC ('xp_cmdshell ''whoami /priv''');
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #xp_cmdshell_output WHERE Output LIKE '%SeManageVolumePrivilege%')
PRINT 'Instant Initialization enabled'
ELSE
PRINT 'Instant Initialization disabled';
GO
DROP TABLE #xp_cmdshell_output;

This is pretty neat, and I'm leveraging it. It does requirexp_cmdshell, though that seems a non-issue with the OP's current usage ofxp_readerrorlog.
