function Copy-DbaLinkedServer { <# .SYNOPSIS Copy-DbaLinkedServer migrates Linked Servers from one SQL Server to another. Linked Server logins and passwords are migrated as well. .DESCRIPTION By using password decryption techniques provided by Antti Rantasaari (NetSPI, 2014), this script migrates SQL Server Linked Servers from one server to another, while maintaining username and password. Credit: https://blog.netspi.com/decrypting-mssql-database-link-server-passwords/ .PARAMETER Source Source SQL Server (2005 and above). You must have sysadmin access to both SQL Server and Windows. .PARAMETER SourceSqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Destination Destination SQL Server (2005 and above). You must have sysadmin access to both SQL Server and Windows. .PARAMETER DestinationSqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER LinkedServer The linked server(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all linked servers will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeLinkedServer The linked server(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server .PARAMETER UpgradeSqlClient Upgrade any SqlClient Linked Server to the current Version .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 Force By default, if a Linked Server exists on the source and destination, the Linked Server is not copied over. Specifying -force will drop and recreate the Linked Server on the Destination server. .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: WSMan, Migration, LinkedServer 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 Requires: sysadmin access on SQL Servers Limitations: This just copies the SQL portion.
