          Use the system views for this:



          select * from sys.check_constraints
          where is_disabled = 1;

              Mike and Aaron are both on the right track - but the question asks for ALL constraints that are disabled - not just CHECK constraints (i.e., FKs can be disabled too).



              Moreover, FKs can also be UNTRUSTED - which will yield the potential for not just bad/invalid DATA but can/will also lead to perf issues (as SQL Server can't/won't trust these FKs when creating execution plans) as per:
              https://sqlserverfast.com/blog/hugo/2007/03/can-you-trust-your-constraints/



              As such, I tend to use the following:



                  WITH constraints AS ( 
              SELECT
              QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(t.[schema_id])) + N'.' + QUOTENAME(t.[name]) [table] ,
              c.[type_desc] [constraint_type],
              c.[name] [constraint_name]
              FROM
              sys.tables AS t
              INNER JOIN sys.check_constraints AS c ON t.[object_id] = c.parent_object_id
              WHERE
              c.is_disabled = 1

              UNION

              SELECT
              QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME([schema_id])) + N'.' + QUOTENAME(OBJECT_NAME([parent_object_id])) [table],
              CASE WHEN is_disabled = 1 THEN 'FOREIGN_KEY (DISABLED)' ELSE 'FOREIGN_KEY (UNTRUSTED)' END [constraint_type],
              [name] [constraint_name]
              FROM
              sys.[foreign_keys]
              WHERE
              [is_disabled] = 1 OR [is_not_trusted] = 1
              )

              SELECT
              [table],
              [constraint_type],
              [constraint_name]
              FROM
              constraints
              ORDER BY
              [constraint_type], [table];

                                  Mike and Aaron are both on the right track - but the question asks for ALL constraints that are disabled - not just CHECK constraints (i.e., FKs can be disabled too).



                                  Moreover, FKs can also be UNTRUSTED - which will yield the potential for not just bad/invalid DATA but can/will also lead to perf issues (as SQL Server can't/won't trust these FKs when creating execution plans) as per:
