#Requires -Version 5.0 using namespace System.Management.Automation Function Write-InformationColored { <# .SYNOPSIS Writes messages to the information stream, optionally with color when written to the host. .DESCRIPTION An alternative to Write-Host which will write to the information stream and the host (optionally in colors specified) but will honor the $InformationPreference of the calling context. In PowerShell 5.0+ Write-Host calls through to Write-Information but will _always_ treats $InformationPreference as 'Continue', so the caller cannot use other options to the preference variable as intended. .LINK https://blog.kieranties.com/2018/03/26/write-information-with-colours #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [Object]$MessageData, [ConsoleColor]$ForegroundColor = $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor, # Make sure we use the current colours by default [ConsoleColor]$BackgroundColor = $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor, [Switch]$NoNewline ) $msg = [HostInformationMessage]@{ Message = $MessageData ForegroundColor = $ForegroundColor BackgroundColor = $BackgroundColor NoNewline = $NoNewline.IsPresent } Write-Information $msg } # If the script has a hard time finding SMO, you can install the dbatools module and import it. Which ensures that SMO can be found. if (-not (Get-Module -Name dbatools) -and (Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name dbatools)) { Write-Verbose "Importing dbatools" Import-Module dbatools } # load up SMO by default for all scripts.... hopefully. MSFT recently changed SMO to a nuget package which really jacks with finding it, or downloading it automatically [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | Out-Null |
