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.

You must have sysadmin access to both SQL Server and Windows. .PARAMETER SourceSqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use: $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SourceSqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if DestinationSqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .PARAMETER Destination Destination SQL Server (2005 and above). You must have sysadmin access to both SQL Server and Windows. .PARAMETER DestinationSqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use: $dcred = Get-Credential, then pass this $dcred to the -DestinationSqlCredential parameter. Windows Authentication will be used if DestinationSqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials. To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user. .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 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 Silent Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages .NOTES Tags: WSMan, Migration, LinkedServer Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Requires: sysadmin access on SQL Servers, Remote Registry & Remote Adminsitration enabled and accessible on source server. Limitations: Hasn't been tested thoroughly. Works on Win8.1 and SQL Server 2012 & 2014 so far. This just copies the SQL portion. It does not copy files (ie. a local SQLITE database, or Access Db), nor does it configure ODBC entries. .LINK https://dbatools.io/Copy-DbaLinkedServer .EXAMPLE Copy-DbaLinkedServer -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster Description Copies all SQL Server Linked Servers on sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster. If Linked Server exists on destination, it will be skipped. .EXAMPLE Copy-DbaLinkedServer -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -LinkedServer SQL2K5,SQL2k -Force Description Copies over two SQL Server Linked Servers (SQL2K and SQL2K2) from sqlserver to sqlcluster. If the credential already exists on the destination, it will be dropped. #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default", SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] Param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [DbaInstanceParameter]$Source, [PSCredential]$SourceSqlCredential, [parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [DbaInstanceParameter]$Destination, [PSCredential]$DestinationSqlCredential, [object[]]$LinkedServer, [object[]]$ExcludeLinkedServer, [switch]$Force, [switch]$Silent ) begin { function Get-LinkedServerLogins { <# .SYNOPSIS Internal function.
