function Remove-DbaLogin { <# .SYNOPSIS Drops a Login .DESCRIPTION Tries a bunch of different ways to remove a Login or two or more. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .PARAMETER SqlCredential Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials. .PARAMETER Login The Login(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all Logins will be processed. .PARAMETER InputObject A collection of Logins (such as returned by Get-DbaLogin), to be removed. .PARAMETER Force Kills any sessions associated with the login prior to drop .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: Delete, Login 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-DbaLogin .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaLogin -SqlInstance sql2016 -Login mylogin Prompts then removes the Login mylogin on SQL Server sql2016 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaLogin -SqlInstance sql2016 -Login mylogin, yourlogin Prompts then removes the Logins mylogin and yourlogin on SQL Server sql2016 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Remove-DbaLogin -SqlInstance sql2016 -Login mylogin -Confirm:$false Does not prompt and swiftly removes mylogin on SQL Server sql2016 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaLogin -SqlInstance server\instance -Login yourlogin | Remove-DbaLogin Removes mylogin on SQL Server server\instance #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, ConfirmImpact = 'High', DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] param ( [parameter(Mandatory, ParameterSetName = "instance")] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [parameter(Mandatory, ParameterSetName = "instance")] [string[]]$Login, [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline, Mandatory, ParameterSetName = "Logins")] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Login[]]$InputObject, [switch]$Force, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if ($Force) { $ConfirmPreference = 'none' } } process { foreach ($instance in $SqlInstance) { try { $server = Connect-SqlInstance -SqlInstance $instance -SqlCredential $sqlcredential } catch { Stop-Function -Message "Error occurred while establishing connection to $instance" -Category ConnectionError -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $instance -Continue } $InputObject += $server.Logins | Where-Object { $_.Name -in $Login } } foreach ($currentlogin in $InputObject) { try { $server = $currentlogin.Parent if ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess("$currentlogin on $server", "KillLogin")) { if ($force) { $null = Stop-DbaProcess -SqlInstance $server -Login $currentlogin.name } $currentlogin.Drop() [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Login = $currentlogin.name Status = "Dropped" } } } catch { [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Login = $currentlogin.name Status = $_ } Stop-Function -Message "Could not drop Login $currentlogin on $server" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $currentlogin -Continue } } } } |
