function Rename-DbaLogin { <# .SYNOPSIS Rename-DbaLogin will rename login and database mapping for a specified login. .DESCRIPTION There are times where you might want to rename a login that was copied down, or if the name is not descriptive for what it does. It can be a pain to update all of the mappings for a specific user, this does it for you. .PARAMETER SqlInstance Source SQL Server.You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater. .PARAMETER Destination Destination Sql Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater. .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 Login The current Login on the server - this list is auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER NewLogin The new Login that you wish to use. If it is a windows user login, then the SID must match. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts to confirm actions .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed. .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: Login Author: Mitchell Hamann (@SirCaptainMitch) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Rename-DbaLogin .EXAMPLE PS C:\>Rename-DbaLogin -SqlInstance localhost -Login DbaToolsUser -NewLogin captain SQL Login Example .EXAMPLE PS C:\>Rename-DbaLogin -SqlInstance localhost -Login domain\oldname -NewLogin domain\newname Change the windowsuser login name. .EXAMPLE PS C:\>Rename-DbaLogin -SqlInstance localhost -Login dbatoolsuser -NewLogin captain -WhatIf WhatIf Example #> [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default", SupportsShouldProcess)] param ( [parameter(Mandatory)] [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$Login, [parameter(Mandatory)] [string]$NewLogin, [switch]$EnableException ) process { foreach ($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 } $Databases = $server.Databases | Where-Object IsAccessible $currentLogin = $server.Logins[$Login] if ( -not $currentLogin) { Stop-Function -Message "Login '$login' not found on $instance" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target login -Continue } if ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($SqlInstance, "Changing Login name from [$Login] to [$NewLogin]")) { try { $dbenums = $currentLogin.EnumDatabaseMappings() $currentLogin.rename($NewLogin) [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Database = $null PreviousLogin = $Login NewLogin = $NewLogin Status = "Successful" } } catch { $dbenums = $null [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Database = $null PreviousLogin = $Login NewLogin = $NewLogin Status = "Failure" } Stop-Function -Message "Failure" -ErrorRecord $_ -Target $login } } foreach ($db in $dbenums) { $db = $databases[$db.DBName] $user = $db.Users[$Login] Write-Message -Level Verbose -Message "Starting update for $db" if ($Pscmdlet.ShouldProcess($SqlInstance, "Changing database $db user $user from [$Login] to [$NewLogin]")) { try { $oldname = $user.name $user.Rename($NewLogin) [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Database = $db.name PreviousUser = $oldname NewUser = $NewLogin Status = "Successful" } } catch { Write-Message -Level Warning -Message "Rolling back update to login: $Login" $currentLogin.rename($Login) [pscustomobject]@{ ComputerName = $server.ComputerName InstanceName = $server.ServiceName SqlInstance = $server.DomainInstanceName Database = $db.name PreviousUser = $NewLogin NewUser = $oldname Status = "Failure to rename.
