NAME Get-DbaPbmCategory
SYNOPSIS
Returns policy categories from policy based management from an instance.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaPbmCategory [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>] [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [[-Category] <System.String[]>] [[-InputObject]
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dmf.PolicyStore[]>] [-ExcludeSystemObject <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Returns policy categories from policy based management from an instance.
PARAMETERS
-Category [<System.String[]>]
Filters results to only show specific condition
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
-ExcludeSystemObject [<Switch>]
By default system objects are include. Use this parameter to exclude them.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InputObject [<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dmf.PolicyStore[]>]
Allows piping from Get-DbaPbmStore
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
Accept wildcard characters? false
