function New-DbaDirectory { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates new path as specified by the path variable .DESCRIPTION Uses master.dbo.xp_create_subdir to create the path Returns $true if the path can be created, $false otherwise .PARAMETER SqlInstance The SQL Server you want to run the test on. .PARAMETER Path The Path to tests. Can be a file or directory. .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 Tags: Path, Directory, Folder Author: Stuart Moore Requires: Admin access to server (not SQL Services), Remoting must be enabled and accessible if $SqlInstance is not local dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io) Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/New-DbaDirectory .EXAMPLE New-DbaDirectory -SqlInstance sqlcluster -Path L:\MSAS12.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP If the SQL Server instance sqlcluster can create the path L:\MSAS12.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP it will do and return $true, if not it will return $false. .EXAMPLE $credential = Get-Credential New-DbaDirectory -SqlInstance sqlcluster -SqlCredential $credential -Path L:\MSAS12.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP If the SQL Server instance sqlcluster can create the path L:\MSAS12.MSSQLSERVER\OLAP it will do and return $true, if not it will return $false.
