function Export-DbaLinkedServer { <# .SYNOPSIS Exports linked servers INCLUDING PASSWORDS, unless specified otherwise, to sql file. .DESCRIPTION Exports linked servers INCLUDING PASSWORDS, unless specified otherwise, to sql file. Requires remote Windows access if exporting the password. .PARAMETER SqlInstance Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2005 or higher. .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 Credential Login to the target OS using alternative linked servers. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential) .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 LinkedServer The linked server(s) to export. If unspecified, all linked servers will be processed. .PARAMETER InputObject Allow credentials to be piped in from Get-DbaLinkedServer .PARAMETER ExcludePassword Exports the linked server without any sensitive information. .PARAMETER Append Append to Path .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: LinkedServer 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-DbaLinkedServer .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaLinkedServer -SqlInstance sql2017 -Path C:\temp\ls.sql Exports the linked servers, including passwords, from sql2017 to the file C:\temp\ls.sql .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Export-DbaLinkedServer -SqlInstance sql2017 -Path C:\temp\ls.sql -ExcludePassword Exports the linked servers, without passwords, from sql2017 to the file C:\temp\ls.sql #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory, ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [string[]]$LinkedServer, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [PSCredential]$Credential, [string]$Path = (Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -FullName 'Path.DbatoolsExport'), [Alias("OutFile", "FileName")] [string]$FilePath, [switch]$ExcludePassword, [switch]$Append, [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.LinkedServer[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $null = Test-ExportDirectory -Path $Path } process { if (Test-FunctionInterrupt) { return } foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential -MinimumVersion 9 $InputObject += $server.LinkedServers } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } if ($LinkedServer) { $InputObject = $InputObject | Where-Object Name -in $LinkedServer } if (-not $InputObject) { Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Nothing to export" continue } if (!(Test-SqlSa -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential)) { Stop-Function -Message "Not a sysadmin on $instance.
