#ValidationTags#Messaging# function Export-DbaAvailabilityGroup { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports SQL Server Availability Groups to a T-SQL file. .DESCRIPTION Exports SQL Server Availability Groups creation scripts to a T-SQL file. This is a function that is not available in SSMS. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. SQL Server 2012 and above supported. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER Path The directory name where the output files will be written. A sub directory with the format 'ServerName$InstanceName' will be created. A T-SQL scripts named 'AGName.sql' will be created under this subdirectory for each scripted Availability Group. .PARAMETER AvailabilityGroup The Availability Group(s) to export - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all logins will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeAvailabilityGroup The Availability Group(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER NoClobber Do not overwrite existing export files. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows you what it'd output if you were to run the command .PARAMETER Confirm Confirms each step/line of output .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: Hadr, HA, AG, AvailabilityGroup Author: Chris Sommer (@cjsommer), cjsommer.com dbatools PowerShell module (https://dbatools.io) Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaAvailabilityGroup .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaAvailabilityGroup -SqlInstance sql2012 Exports all Availability Groups from SQL server "sql2012". Output scripts are written to the Documents\SqlAgExports directory by default. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaAvailabilityGroup -SqlInstance sql2012 -Path C:\temp\availability_group_exports Exports all Availability Groups from SQL server "sql2012". Output scripts are written to the C:\temp\availability_group_exports directory. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaAvailabilityGroup -SqlInstance sql2012 -Path 'C:\dir with spaces\availability_group_exports' -AvailabilityGroup AG1,AG2 Exports Availability Groups AG1 and AG2 from SQL server "sql2012". Output scripts are written to the C:\dir with spaces\availability_group_exports directory. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaAvailabilityGroup -SqlInstance sql2014 -Path C:\temp\availability_group_exports -NoClobber Exports all Availability Groups from SQL server "sql2014". Output scripts are written to the C:\temp\availability_group_exports directory.
