NAME Enable-DbaAgHadr
SYNOPSIS
Enables the Hadr service setting on the specified SQL Server.
SYNTAX
Enable-DbaAgHadr [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-Credential]
<Pscredential>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
In order to build an AG a cluster has to be built and then the Hadr enabled for the SQL Server
service. This function enables that feature for the SQL Server service.
PARAMETERS
-Credential [<Pscredential>]
Credential object used to connect to the Windows server as a different user
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>]
Will restart SQL Server and SQL Server Agent service to apply the change.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
