Description

The Get-SqlSmartAdmin cmdlet gets the SQL Smart Admin object. The Smart Admin object includes SQL Server Managed Backup to Windows Azure_2 configuration settings. This cmdlet supports the following modes of operation to return the object:

  • Pass the name of the server instance using the Name parameter. For a default instance, specify only the computer name. For a named instance, use Computername\InstanceName.
  • Pass the path of the instance of SQL Server to the Path parameter.

Examples

Example 1: Get a Smart Admin object properties from a computer

PS C:\> Get-SqlSmartAdmin -Name "Computer\MyInstance"

This command gets the smart admin object properties from the computer named 'Computer\MyInstance'.

Parameters

-AccessToken

The access token used to authenticate to SQL Server, as an alternative to user/password or Windows Authentication.

This can be used, for example, to connect to SQL Azure DB and SQL Azure Managed Instance using a Service Principal or a Managed Identity.

The parameter to use can be either a string representing the token or a PSAccessToken object as returned by running Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

Type:PSObject
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter

-DatabaseName

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Encrypt

The encryption type to use when connecting to SQL Server.

This value maps to the Encrypt property SqlConnectionEncryptOption on the SqlConnection object of the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver.

In v22 of the module, the default is Optional (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be 'Mandatory', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

Type:String
Accepted values:Mandatory, Optional, Strict
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-HostNameInCertificate

The host name to be used in validating the SQL Server TLS/SSL certificate. You must pass this parameter if your SQL Server instance is enabled for Force Encryption and you want to connect to an instance using hostname/shortname. If this parameter is omitted then passing the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to -ServerInstance is necessary to connect to a SQL Server instance enabled for Force Encryption.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the instance of the Server object.

Type:Server
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specifies the name of the instance of the SQL Server in this format: Computer\Instance.

Type:String
Position:1

-ServerInstance

Specifies the name of an instance of the SQL Server. For default instances, only specify the computer name: MyComputer. For named instances, use the format ComputerName\InstanceName. Both the Name and the ServerInstance parameters allow you to specify the name of the instance, but ServerInstance also accepts pipeline input of the Server instance name, or the SqInstanceInfo object.

Type:PSObject
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-TrustServerCertificate

Indicates whether the channel will be encrypted while bypassing walking the certificate chain to validate trust.

In v22 of the module, the default is $true (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be '$false', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
