#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function New-DbaServiceMasterKey { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a new service master key. .DESCRIPTION Creates a new service master key in the master database. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to SQL Server using alternative credentials. .PARAMETER SecurePassword Secure string used to create the key. .PARAMETER Credential Enables easy creation of a secure password. .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 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: Certificate 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 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaServiceMasterKey -SqlInstance Server1 You will be prompted to securely enter your Service Key password, then a master key will be created in the master database on server1 if it does not exist. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [PSCredential]$Credential, [Alias("Password")] [Security.SecureString]$SecurePassword, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess("$instance", "Creating New MasterKey")) { New-DbaDbMasterKey -SqlInstance $instance -Database master -SecurePassword $SecurePassword -Credential $Credential } } } } |
