function Set-DbaAgentJobOwner { <# .SYNOPSIS Sets SQL Agent job owners with a desired login if jobs do not match that owner. .DESCRIPTION This function alters SQL Agent Job 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 the user may specify a different login for ownership. This be applied to all jobs or only to a select collection of jobs. Best practice reference: http://sqlmag.com/blog/sql-server-tip-assign-ownership-jobs-sysadmin-account If the 'sa' account was renamed, the new name will be used. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .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 Job Specifies the job(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all jobs will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeJob Specifies the job(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piped input from Get-DbaAgentJob .PARAMETER Login 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: Agent, Job 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-DbaAgentJobOwner .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaAgentJobOwner -SqlInstance localhost Sets SQL Agent Job owner to sa on all jobs where the owner does not match sa. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaAgentJobOwner -SqlInstance localhost -Login DOMAIN\account Sets SQL Agent Job owner to 'DOMAIN\account' on all jobs where the owner does not match 'DOMAIN\account'.
