function Invoke-DBCompareServerSettings {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Compares all server settings for each instance passed in to generate a report showing differences. The user options are also compared
            individually. Any user option will have its name suffixed with (options).
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Compares all server settings for each instance passed in to generate a report showing differences.
 
        .PARAMETER ServerInstances
            The sql server instances to connect to and compare. At least two servers must be passed in.
 
        .PARAMETER Credentials
            Specifies credentials to connect to the database with. If not supplied then a trusted connection will be used.
 
        .PARAMETER IgnoreVersionDifferences
            If a SQL Server does not support a particular setting because it is an older version then the value will be a dash: "-". If this switch is
            present, then any setting value with a dash will not be considered a difference.
 
        .INPUTS
            None. You cannot pipe objects to this script.
 
        .OUTPUTS
            A list of the servers and a comparison report.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            PS> .\Invoke-DBCompareServerSettings -ServerInstance "servername" -Databases "AdventureWorks2008","AdventureWorks2012" -SourceFileGroupName SHRINK_DATA_TEMP -TargetFileGroupName PRIMARY
