NAME Copy-DbaDbMail
SYNOPSIS
Migrates Mail Profiles, Accounts, Mail Servers and Mail Server Configs from one SQL Server to another.
SYNTAX
Copy-DbaDbMail -Source <DbaInstanceParameter> -Destination
<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [-SourceSqlCredential <Pscredential>]
[-DestinationSqlCredential <Pscredential>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
Copy-DbaDbMail -Source <DbaInstanceParameter> -Destination
<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [-Type <System.String[]>] [-SourceSqlCredential
<Pscredential>] [-DestinationSqlCredential <Pscredential>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
By default, all mail configurations for Profiles, Accounts, Mail Servers and Configs are copied.
PARAMETERS
-Destination [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2000 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DestinationSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, existing objects on Destination with matching names from Source will be dropped.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Source [<DbaInstanceParameter>]
Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SourceSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Type [<System.String[]>]
Specifies the object type to migrate. Valid options are 'ConfigurationValues', 'Profiles', 'Accounts', and
'MailServers'. When Type is specified, all categories from the selected type will be migrated.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaDbMail -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster
Copies all database mail objects from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using Windows credentials. If database mail
objects with the same name exist on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaDbMail -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -SourceSqlCredential $cred
Copies all database mail objects from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a and
Windows credentials for sqlcluster.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaDbMail -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were executed.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Copy-DbaDbMail -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -EnableException
Performs execution of function, and will throw a terminating exception if something breaks
