-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.

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false

Use this to choose the privilege(s) to which you want to add the SQL Service account.

'Lock Pages in Memory', 'Logon as Batch', and 'Generate Security Audits'.
