I have around 1000 SQL instances across the country. And there are frequent large code deployments.

What are the best practices? Does anyone uses any tools?

We began using Automated QA for deployments. It works pretty well. There are plenty of similar tools on the market, as well.

You can implement such abitlity using bat files calling for sqlcmd on each server. You can also write a simple application that uses xml as deployment configuration complemented with a folder of scripts
