function Test-DbaAgentJobOwner { <# .SYNOPSIS Checks SQL Agent Job owners against a login to validate which jobs do not match that owner. .DESCRIPTION This function checks all SQL Agent Jobs on an instance against a SQL login to validate if that login owns those SQL Agent Jobs or not. By default, the function checks against 'sa' for ownership, but the user can pass a specific login if they use something else. Only SQL Agent Jobs that do not match this ownership will be displayed. Best practice reference: http://sqlmag.com/blog/sql-server-tip-assign-ownership-jobs-sysadmin-account .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 Job Specifies the job(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all jobs will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeJob Specifies the job(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER Login Specifies the login that you wish check for ownership. This defaults to 'sa' or the sysadmin name if sa was renamed. This must be a valid security principal which exists on the target server. .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: Agent, Job, Owner Author: Michael Fal (@Mike_Fal), http://mikefal.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Test-DbaAgentJobOwner .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaAgentJobOwner -SqlInstance localhost Returns all SQL Agent Jobs where the owner does not match 'sa'. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaAgentJobOwner -SqlInstance localhost -ExcludeJob 'syspolicy_purge_history' Returns SQL Agent Jobs except for the syspolicy_purge_history job .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaAgentJobOwner -SqlInstance localhost -Login DOMAIN\account Returns all SQL Agent Jobs where the owner does not match DOMAIN\account.
