function New-DbaClientAlias { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates/updates a sql alias for the specified server - mimics cliconfg.exe .DESCRIPTION Creates/updates 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 ServerName The target SQL Server .PARAMETER Alias The alias to be created .PARAMETER Protocol The protocol for the connection, either TCPIP or NetBIOS. Defaults to TCPIP. .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) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/New-DbaClientAlias .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaClientAlias -ServerName sqlcluster\sharepoint -Alias sp Creates a new TCP alias on the local workstation called sp, which points sqlcluster\sharepoint .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaClientAlias -ServerName 'sqlcluster,14443' -Alias spinstance Creates a new TCP alias on the local workstation called spinstance, which points to sqlcluster, port 14443. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaClientAlias -ServerName sqlcluster\sharepoint -Alias sp -Protocol NamedPipes Creates a new NamedPipes alias on the local workstation called sp, which points sqlcluster\sharepoint #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$ServerName, [parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$Alias, [ValidateSet("TCPIP", "NamedPipes")] [string]$Protocol = "TCPIP", [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) begin { # This is a script block so cannot use messaging system $scriptblock = { $basekeys = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\MSSQLServer", "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer" $ServerName = $args[0] $Alias = $args[1] $serverstring = $args[2] if ($env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE -like "*64*") { $64bit = $true } foreach ($basekey in $basekeys) { if ($64bit -ne $true -and $basekey -like "*WOW64*") { continue } if ((Test-Path $basekey) -eq $false) { throw "Base key ($basekey) does not exist.
