function New-DbaServiceMasterKey { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a new service master key .DESCRIPTION Creates a new service master key in the master database .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instances .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to SQL Server using alternative credentials. .PARAMETER Password Secure string used to create the key. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command. .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: Certificate Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (C) Chrissy LeMaire, clemaire@gmail.com License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .EXAMPLE New-DbaServiceMasterKey -SqlInstance Server1 You will be prompted to securely enter your Service Key Password twice, then a master key will be created in the master database on server1 if it does not exist. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Security.SecureString]$Password, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { if (Test-Bound -ParameterName Password -Not) { $password = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt "You must enter Service Key password for $instance" $password2 = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt "Type the password again" if (([System.Runtime.InteropServices.marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([System.Runtime.InteropServices.marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($password))) -ne ([System.Runtime.InteropServices.marshal]::PtrToStringAuto([System.Runtime.InteropServices.marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($password2)))) { Stop-Function -Message "Passwords do not match" -Continue } } New-DbaDbMasterKey -SqlInstance $instance -Database master -Password $password } } } |
