function Remove-DbaRegServer { <# .SYNOPSIS Removes registered servers found in SQL Server Central Management Server (CMS). .DESCRIPTION Removes registered servers found in SQL Server Central Management Server (CMS). .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 Name Specifies one or more names to include. Name is the visible name in SSMS CMS interface (labeled Registered Server Name) .PARAMETER ServerName Specifies one or more server names to include. Server Name is the actual instance name (labeled Server Name) .PARAMETER Group Specifies one or more groups to include from SQL Server Central Management Server. .PARAMETER InputObject Allows results from Get-DbaRegServer to be piped in .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: 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/Remove-DbaRegServer .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance sql2012 -Group HR, Accounting Removes all servers from the HR and Accounting groups on sql2012 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance sql2012 -Group HR\Development Removes all servers from the HR and sub-group Development from the CMS on sql2012. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance sql2012 -Confirm:$false Removes all registered servers on sql2012 and turns off all prompting #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, ConfirmImpact = 'High')] param ( [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [string[]]$Name, [string[]]$ServerName, [string[]]$Group, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers.RegisteredServer[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { $InputObject += Get-DbaRegServer -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential -Group $Group -ExcludeGroup $ExcludeGroup -Name $Name -ServerName $ServerName } if (-not $SqlInstance -and -not $InputObject) { $InputObject += Get-DbaRegServer -Group $Group -ExcludeGroup $ExcludeGroup -Name $Name -ServerName $ServerName } foreach ($regserver in $InputObject) { if ($regserver.Source -eq "Azure Data Studio") { Stop-Function -Message "You cannot use dbatools to remove or add registered servers in Azure Data Studio" -Continue } if ($regserver.ID) { $defaults = "ComputerName", "InstanceName", "SqlInstance", "Name", "ServerName", "Status" $target = $regserver.Parent } else { $defaults = "Name", "ServerName", "Status" $target = "Local Registered Server Groups" } if ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($target, "Removing $regserver")) { $null = $regserver.Drop() if ($regserver.ID) { Disconnect-RegServer -Server $regserver.Parent } try { [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $regserver.ComputerName InstanceName = $regserver.InstanceName SqlInstance = $regserver.SqlInstance Name = $regserver.Name ServerName = $regserver.ServerName Status = "Dropped" } | Select-DefaultView -Property $defaults } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failed to drop $regserver on $target" -ErrorRecord $_ -Continue } } } } } |
