function Set-DbaSpConfigure { <# .SYNOPSIS Changes the server level system configuration (sys.configuration/sp_configure) value for a given configuration .DESCRIPTION This function changes the configured value for sp_configure settings. If the setting is dynamic this setting will be used, otherwise the user will be warned that a restart of SQL is required. This is designed to be safe and will not allow for configurations to be set outside of the defined configuration min and max values. While it is possible to set below the min, or above the max this can cause serious problems with SQL Server (including startup failures), and so is not permitted. .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input .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 Name The name of the configuration to be set -- Configs is auto-populated for tabbing convenience. .PARAMETER Value The new value for the configuration .PARAMETER InputObject Piped objects from Get-DbaSpConfigure .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. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command. .NOTES Tags: SpConfigure Author: Nic Cain, https://sirsql.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-DbaSpConfigure .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance localhost -Name ScanForStartupProcedures -Value 1 Adjusts the Scan for startup stored procedures configuration value to 1 and notifies the user that this requires a SQL restart to take effect .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance sql2017, sql2014 -Name XPCmdShellEnabled, IsSqlClrEnabled | Set-DbaSpConfigure -Value $false Sets the values for XPCmdShellEnabled and IsSqlClrEnabled on sql2017 and sql2014 to False .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance localhost -Name XPCmdShellEnabled -Value 1 Adjusts the xp_cmdshell configuration value to 1. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Set-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance localhost -Name XPCmdShellEnabled -Value 1 -WhatIf Returns information on the action that would be performed.
