#ValidationTags#Messaging,FlowControl,Pipeline,CodeStyle# function Remove-DbaAvailabilityGroup { <# .SYNOPSIS Removes availability groups on a SQL Server instance. .DESCRIPTION Removes availability groups on a SQL Server instance. If possible, remove the availability group only while connected to the server instance that hosts the primary replica. When the availability group is dropped from the primary replica, changes are allowed in the former primary databases (without high availability protection). Deleting an availability group from a secondary replica leaves the primary replica in the RESTORING state, and changes are not allowed on the databases. Avoid dropping an availability group when the Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster has no quorum. If you must drop an availability group while the cluster lacks quorum, the metadata availability group that is stored in the cluster is not removed. After the cluster regains quorum, you will need to drop the availability group again to remove it from the WSFC cluster.

Server version must be SQL Server version 2012 or higher. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the SqlInstance instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .PARAMETER AvailabilityGroup Only remove specific availability groups. .PARAMETER AllAvailabilityGroups Remove all availability groups on an instance. .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piping from Get-DbaAvailabilityGroup. .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: AvailabilityGroup, HA, AG 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-DbaAvailabilityGroup .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaAvailabilityGroup -SqlInstance sqlserver2012 -AllAvailabilityGroups Removes all availability groups on the sqlserver2014 instance.
