function Set-DbaDbOwner { <# .SYNOPSIS Sets database owners with a desired login if databases do not match that owner. .DESCRIPTION This function will alter database ownership to match a specified login if their current owner does not match the target login. By default, the target login will be 'sa', but the function will allow the user to specify a different login for ownership. The user can also apply this to all databases or only to a select list of databases (passed as either a comma separated list or a string array). Best Practice reference: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/dang/archive/2008/01/13/Database-Owner-Troubles.aspx .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 Database Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER TargetLogin 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 WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .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: Database, Owner, DbOwner 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/Set-DbaDbOwner .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaDbOwner -SqlInstance localhost Sets database owner to 'sa' on all databases where the owner does not match 'sa'. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaDbOwner -SqlInstance localhost -TargetLogin DOMAIN\account Sets the database owner to DOMAIN\account on all databases where the owner does not match DOMAIN\account. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaDbOwner -SqlInstance sqlserver -Database db1, db2 Sets database owner to 'sa' on the db1 and db2 databases if their current owner does not match 'sa'. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [Alias("ServerInstance", "SqlServer")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [Alias("Credential")] [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [Alias("Databases")] [object[]]$Database, [object[]]$ExcludeDatabase, [Alias("Login")] [string]$TargetLogin, [Alias('Silent')] [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $SqlCredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Failure." -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } # dynamic sa name for orgs who have changed their sa name if (!$TargetLogin) { $TargetLogin = ($server.logins | Where-Object { $_.id -eq 1 }).Name } #Validate login if (($server.Logins.Name) -notcontains $TargetLogin) { Stop-Function -Message "$TargetLogin is not a valid login on $instance.
