NAME Find-DbaDbDisabledIndex
SYNOPSIS
Find Disabled indexes
SYNTAX
Find-DbaDbDisabledIndex [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>
[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-Database] <System.Object[]>] [[-ExcludeDatabase] <System.Object[]>]
[-NoClobber <Switch>] [-Append <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This command will help you to find disabled indexes on a database or a list of databases.
PARAMETERS
-Append [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, content will be appended to the output file.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Database [<System.Object[]>]
The database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all
databases will be processed.
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
-ExcludeDatabase [<System.Object[]>]
Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.

Accept wildcard characters? false
-NoClobber [<Switch>]
If this switch is enabled, the output file will not be overwritten.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false

Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances.
