function Get-DbaRepDistributor { <# .SYNOPSIS Gets the information about a replication distributor for a given SQL Server instance. .DESCRIPTION This function locates and enumerates distributor information for a given SQL Server instance. All replication commands need SSMS 17 installed and are therefore currently not supported. Have a look at this issue to get more information: https://github.com/sqlcollaborative/dbatools/issues/7428 .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .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: Replication Author: William Durkin (@sql_williamd) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Get-DbaRepDistributor .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaRepDistributor -SqlInstance sql2008, sqlserver2012 Retrieve distributor information for servers sql2008 and sqlserver2012. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { try { Add-Type -Path "$script:PSModuleRoot\bin\smo\Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.dll" -ErrorAction Stop Add-Type -Path "$script:PSModuleRoot\bin\smo\Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll" -ErrorAction Stop } catch { $repdll = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication") $rmodll = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo") if ($null -eq $repdll -or $null -eq $rmodll) { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message 'All replication commands need SSMS 17 installed and are therefore currently not supported.'
