DESCRIPTION
Automates the creation of availability groups.
* Checks prerequisites
* Creates Availability Group and adds primary replica
* Grants cluster permissions if necessary
* Adds secondary replica if supplied
* Adds databases if supplied
* Performs backup/restore if seeding mode is manual
* Performs backup to NUL if seeding mode is automatic
* Adds listener to primary if supplied
* Joins secondaries to availability group
* Grants endpoint connect permissions to service accounts
* Grants CreateAnyDatabase permissions if seeding mode is automatic
* Returns Availability Group object from primary
NOTE: If a backup / restore is performed, the backups will be left intact on the network share.

default.

try/catch.
