List all System Stored Procedures in SQL Server

In order to list all the System Stored Procedures in SQL Server 2005/2008, you can query the sys.all_objects catalog view, that displays all schema-scoped user-defined objects as well as system objects.

SELECT NAME FROM SYS.ALL_OBJECTS WHERE type='P'

OUTPUT (Partial)

Similarly to find CLR Stored Procedures, use type=’PC’

SELECT NAME FROM SYS.ALL_OBJECTS WHERE type='PC'

OUTPUT

Note: You can add ‘is_ms_shipped = 1’ to the query if you intend listing only those objects created by an internal SQL Server component.
