Function Get-DbaMaxMemory { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets the 'Max Server Memory' configuration setting and the memory of the server. Works on SQL Server 2000-2014. .DESCRIPTION This cmdlet retrieves the SQL Server 'Max Server Memory' configuration setting as well as the total physical installed on the server. THIS CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITH NO WARRANTIES. .PARAMETER SqlServer Allows you to specify a comma separated list of servers to query. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted.
