NAME Get-DbaServerRoleMember
SYNOPSIS
Get members of server roles for each instance(s) of SQL Server.
SYNTAX
Get-DbaServerRoleMember [-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>
[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-ServerRole] <System.String[]>] [[-ExcludeServerRole] <System.String[]>]
[[-Login] <System.Object[]>] [-ExcludeFixedRole <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-DbaServerRoleMember returns connected SMO object for server roles 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
-ExcludeFixedRole [<Switch>]
Filter the fixed server-level roles. Only applies to SQL Server 2017 that supports creation of server-level
roles.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ExcludeServerRole [<System.String[]>]
The role(s) to exclude.
