NAME Import-DbaSpConfigure
SYNOPSIS
Updates sp_configure settings on destination server.
SYNTAX
Import-DbaSpConfigure [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
Import-DbaSpConfigure [-Source <DbaInstanceParameter>] [-Destination <DbaInstanceParameter>] [-SourceSqlCredential
<Pscredential>] [-DestinationSqlCredential <Pscredential>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Import-DbaSpConfigure [-SqlInstance <DbaInstanceParameter>] [-Path <String>] [-SqlCredential <Pscredential>]
[-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Updates sp_configure settings on destination server.
PARAMETERS
-Destination [<DbaInstanceParameter>]
Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2000 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DestinationSqlCredential [<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
-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>]
If this switch is enabled, no version check between Source and Destination is performed. By default, the major
and minor versions of Source and Destination must match when copying sp_configure settings.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Path [<String>]
Specifies the path to a SQL script file holding sp_configure queries for each of the settings to be changed.
Export-DbaSPConfigure creates a suitable file as its output.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Source [<DbaInstanceParameter>]
Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SourceSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
