NAME Get-DbaInstanceAuditSpecification
SYNOPSIS
Gets SQL Security Audit Specification information for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaInstanceAuditSpecification [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>
[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-DbaInstanceAuditSpecification command gets SQL Security Audit Specification information for each
instance(s) of SQL Server.
PARAMETERS
-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
-SqlCredential [<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
-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the
function
to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
