function New-DbaConnectionString { <# .SYNOPSIS Builds or extracts a SQL Server Connection String .DESCRIPTION Builds or extracts a SQL Server Connection String See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring.aspx and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnectionstringbuilder.aspx and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.aspx .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER Credential Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user be it Windows or SQL Server. Windows users are determined by the existence of a backslash, so if you are intending to use an alternative Windows connection instead of a SQL login, ensure it contains a backslash. .PARAMETER AccessToken Gets or sets the access token for the connection. .PARAMETER AppendConnectionString Appends to the current connection string. Note that you cannot pass authentication information using this method. Use -SqlInstance and, optionally, -SqlCredential to set authentication information. .PARAMETER ApplicationIntent Declares the application workload type when connecting to a server. Possible values are ReadOnly and ReadWrite. .PARAMETER BatchSeparator By default, this is "GO" .PARAMETER ClientName By default, this command sets the client to "dbatools PowerShell module - dbatools.io - custom connection" if you're doing anything that requires profiling, you can look for this client name. Using -ClientName allows you to set your own custom client. .PARAMETER ConnectTimeout The length of time (in seconds) to wait for a connection to the server before terminating the attempt and generating an error. Valid values are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2147483647. When opening a connection to a Azure SQL Database, set the connection timeout to 30 seconds. .PARAMETER EncryptConnection When true, SQL Server uses SSL encryption for all data sent between the client and server if the server has a certificate installed. Recognized values are true, false, yes, and no. For more information, see Connection String Syntax. Beginning in .NET Framework 4.5, when TrustServerCertificate is false and Encrypt is true, the server name (or IP address) in a SQL Server SSL certificate must exactly match the server name (or IP address) specified in the connection string. Otherwise, the connection attempt will fail. For information about support for certificates whose subject starts with a wildcard character (*), see Accepted wildcards used by server certificates for server authentication. .PARAMETER FailoverPartner The name of the failover partner server where database mirroring is configured. If the value of this key is "", then Initial Catalog must be present, and its value must not be "". The server name can be 128 characters or less. If you specify a failover partner but the failover partner server is not configured for database mirroring and the primary server (specified with the Server keyword) is not available, then the connection will fail. If you specify a failover partner and the primary server is not configured for database mirroring, the connection to the primary server (specified with the Server keyword) will succeed if the primary server is available. .PARAMETER IsActiveDirectoryUniversalAuth Azure related .PARAMETER LockTimeout Sets the time in seconds required for the connection to time out when the current transaction is locked. .PARAMETER MaxPoolSize Sets the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool for this specific connection string. .PARAMETER MinPoolSize Sets the minimum number of connections allowed in the connection pool for this specific connection string. .PARAMETER MultipleActiveResultSets When used, an application can maintain multiple active result sets (MARS). When false, an application must process or cancel all result sets from one batch before it can execute any other batch on that connection. .PARAMETER MultiSubnetFailover If your application is connecting to an AlwaysOn availability group (AG) on different subnets, setting MultiSubnetFailover provides faster detection of and connection to the (currently) active server. For more information about SqlClient support for Always On Availability Groups .PARAMETER NetworkProtocol Connect explicitly using 'TcpIp','NamedPipes','Multiprotocol','AppleTalk','BanyanVines','Via','SharedMemory' and 'NWLinkIpxSpx' .PARAMETER NonPooledConnection Request a non-pooled connection .PARAMETER PacketSize Sets the size in bytes of the network packets used to communicate with an instance of SQL Server. Must match at server. .PARAMETER PooledConnectionLifetime When a connection is returned to the pool, its creation time is compared with the current time, and the connection is destroyed if that time span (in seconds) exceeds the value specified by Connection Lifetime. This is useful in clustered configurations to force load balancing between a running server and a server just brought online. A value of zero (0) causes pooled connections to have the maximum connection timeout. .PARAMETER SqlExecutionModes The SqlExecutionModes enumeration contains values that are used to specify whether the commands sent to the referenced connection to the server are executed immediately or saved in a buffer. Valid values include CaptureSql, ExecuteAndCaptureSql and ExecuteSql. .PARAMETER StatementTimeout Sets the number of seconds a statement is given to run before failing with a time-out error. .PARAMETER TrustServerCertificate Sets a value that indicates whether the channel will be encrypted while bypassing walking the certificate chain to validate trust. .PARAMETER WorkstationId Sets the name of the workstation connecting to SQL Server. .NOTES Tags: Connection, Connect, ConnectionString 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-DbaConnectionString .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaConnectionString -SqlInstance sql2014 Creates a connection string that connects using Windows Authentication .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Connect-DbaInstance -SqlInstance sql2016 | New-DbaConnectionString Builds a connected SMO object using Connect-DbaInstance then extracts and displays the connection string .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $wincred = Get-Credential ad\sqladmin PS C:\> New-DbaConnectionString -SqlInstance sql2014 -Credential $wincred Creates a connection string that connects using alternative Windows credentials .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $sqlcred = Get-Credential sqladmin PS C:\> $server = New-DbaConnectionString -SqlInstance sql2014 -Credential $sqlcred Login to sql2014 as SQL login sqladmin. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $server = New-DbaConnectionString -SqlInstance sql2014 -ClientName "mah connection" Creates a connection string that connects using Windows Authentication and uses the client name "mah connection".

also be done via -PacketSize) and other connection attributes. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $server = New-DbaConnectionString -SqlInstance sql2014 -NetworkProtocol TcpIp -MultiSubnetFailover Creates a connection
