NAME Move-DbaRegServerGroup



SYNOPSIS

Moves registered server groups around SQL Server Central Management Server (CMS). Local Registered Server Groups

not currently supported.





SYNTAX

Move-DbaRegServerGroup [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]

[[-SqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [[-Group] <System.String[]>] [-NewGroup] <String> [[-InputObject]

<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers.ServerGroup[]>] [-EnableException <Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Moves registered server groups around SQL Server Central Management Server (CMS). Local Registered Server Groups

not currently supported.





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.
