NAME Copy-DbaPolicyManagement
SYNOPSIS
Migrates SQL Policy Based Management Objects, including both policies and conditions.
SYNTAX
Copy-DbaPolicyManagement [-Source] <DbaInstanceParameter> [[-SourceSqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-Destination]
<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-DestinationSqlCredential] <Pscredential>]
[[-Policy] <System.Object[]>] [[-ExcludePolicy] <System.Object[]>] [[-Condition] <System.Object[]>]
[[-ExcludeCondition] <System.Object[]>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
By default, all policies and conditions are copied. If an object already exist on the destination, it will be
skipped unless -Force is used.
The -Policy and -Condition parameters are auto-populated for command-line completion and can be used to copy only
specific objects.
PARAMETERS
-Condition [<System.Object[]>]
The condition(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all conditions will
be processed.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Destination [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
Destination Sql Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2008 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
-ExcludeCondition [<System.Object[]>]
The condition(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
