function Get-DbaRepDistributor { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets the information about a replication distributor for a given SQL Server instance. .DESCRIPTION This function locates and enumerates distributor information for a given SQL Server instance. .PARAMETER SqlInstance Allows you to specify a comma separated list of servers to query. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .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 Author: William Durkin, @sql_williamd Tags: Replication Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaRepDistributor .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaRepDistributor -SqlInstance sql2008, sqlserver2012 Retrieve distributor information for servers sql2008 and sqlserver2012. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer", "SqlServers")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [parameter(Position = 1)] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if ($null -eq [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.RMO")) { Stop-Function -Message "Replication management objects not available.
