function Test-DbaPowerPlan { <# .SYNOPSIS Checks the Power Plan settings for compliance with best practices, which recommend High Performance for SQL Server. .DESCRIPTION Checks the Power Plan settings on a computer against best practices recommendations. If one server is checked, only $true or $false is returned. If multiple servers are checked, each server's name and an isBestPractice field are returned. References: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2207548 http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/glenn/windows-power-plan-effects-on-newer-intel-processors/ .PARAMETER ComputerName The server(s) to check Power Plan settings on. .PARAMETER Credential Specifies a PSCredential object to use in authenticating to the server(s), instead of the current user account. .PARAMETER CustomPowerPlan If your organization uses a custom power plan that's considered best practice, specify it here. .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piping from Get-DbaPowerPlan .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: PowerPlan Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Test-DbaPowerPlan .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaPowerPlan -ComputerName sqlserver2014a Checks the Power Plan settings for sqlserver2014a and indicates whether or not it complies with best practices. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaPowerPlan -ComputerName sqlserver2014a -CustomPowerPlan 'Maximum Performance' Checks the Power Plan settings for sqlserver2014a and indicates whether or not it is set to the custom plan "Maximum Performance". #> param ( [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [DbaInstance[]]$ComputerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME, [PSCredential]$Credential, [string]$CustomPowerPlan, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [pscustomobject[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { $bpPowerPlan = [PSCustomObject]@{ InstanceID = '8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c' ElementName = $null } } process { if (Test-Bound -ParameterName ComputerName) { $InputObject += Get-DbaPowerPlan -ComputerName $ComputerName -Credential $Credential } foreach ($powerPlan in $InputObject) { $computer = $powerPlan.ComputerName $Credential = $powerPlan.Credential $server = Resolve-DbaNetworkName -ComputerName $computer -Credential $Credential $computerResolved = $server.FullComputerName if (-not $computerResolved) { Stop-Function -Message "Couldn't resolve hostname.
