function Export-DbaRegServer { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports registered servers and registered server groups to file .DESCRIPTION Exports registered servers and registered server groups to file .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER CredentialPersistenceType Used to specify how the login and passwords are persisted. Valid values include None, PersistLoginName and PersistLoginNameAndPassword. .PARAMETER Path Specifies the directory where the file or files will be exported. .PARAMETER FilePath Specifies the full file path of the output file. .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piping from Get-DbaRegServer, Get-DbaRegServerGroup, CSVs and other objects. If importing from CSV or other object, a column named ServerName is required. Optional columns include Name, Description and Group. .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: RegisteredServer, CMS 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 .LINK https://dbatools.io/Export-DbaRegServer .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance sql2008 Exports all Registered Server and Registered Server Groups on sql2008 to an automatically generated file name in the current directory .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance sql2008, sql2012 | Export-DbaRegServer Exports all registered servers on sql2008 and sql2012.
