Optional Parameters

-SqlInstance

The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.

-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.

-Job

The job(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all jobs will be processed.

-ExcludeJob

The job(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server.

-InputObject

Job objects to process. This can be piped from Get-DbaAgentJob.

-ExcludeDisabledJobs

Switch will exclude disabled jobs from the output.

-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.
