Optional Parameters

-SqlInstance

The target SQL Server instance or instances. Defaults to localhost. If target is a cluster, you must also specify InstanceClusterName (see below)

-Credential

Allows you to login to the computer (not sql instance) using alternative credentials.

-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.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
