function Get-DbaClientAlias { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets any SQL Server alias for the specified server(s) .DESCRIPTION Gets SQL Server alias by reading HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client .PARAMETER ComputerName The target computer where the alias has been created .PARAMETER Credential Allows you to login to remote computers using alternative credentials .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 Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaClientAlias .EXAMPLE Get-DbaClientAlias Gets all SQL Server client aliases on the local computer .EXAMPLE Get-DbaClientAlias -ComputerName workstationx Gets all SQL Server client aliases on Workstationx .EXAMPLE 'Server1', 'Server2' | Get-DbaClientAlias Gets all SQL Server client aliases on Server1 and Server2 #> [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($computer in $ComputerName) { $scriptblock = { function Get-ItemPropertyValue { Param ( [parameter()] [String]$Path, [parameter()] [String]$Name ) (Get-ItemProperty -LiteralPath $Path -Name $Name).$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.
