function Remove-DbaClientAlias { <# .SYNOPSIS Removes a sql alias for the specified server - mimics cliconfg.exe .DESCRIPTION Removes a SQL Server alias by altering HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client .PARAMETER ComputerName The target computer where the alias will be created .PARAMETER Credential Allows you to login to remote computers using alternative credentials .PARAMETER Alias The alias to be deleted .PARAMETER EnableException 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. .NOTES Tags: Alias Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Remove-DbaClientAlias .EXAMPLE Remove-DbaClientAlias -ComputerName workstationx -Alias sqlps Removes the sqlps SQL client alias on workstationx .EXAMPLE Get-DbaClientAlias | Remove-DbaClientAlias Removes all SQL Server client aliases on the local computer #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [parameter(ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName)] [Alias('AliasName')] [string]$Alias, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) { $null = Test-ElevationRequirement -ComputerName $computer -Continue $scriptblock = { $Alias = $args[0] function Get-ItemPropertyValue { Param ( [parameter()] [String]$Path, [parameter()] [String]$Name ) Get-ItemProperty -LiteralPath $Path -Name $Name } $basekeys = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\MSSQLServer", "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer" foreach ($basekey in $basekeys) { if ((Test-Path $basekey) -eq $false) { Write-Warning "Base key ($basekey) does not exist.
