Copies SQL Server Agent proxy accounts from one instance to another.
Migrates SQL Server Agent proxy accounts between instances, enabling job steps to run under different security contexts than the SQL Agent service account. By default, all proxy accounts are copied, but you can specify individual accounts to migrate or exclude specific ones. The function requires that associated credentials already exist on the destination server before copying proxy accounts. If a proxy account already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless you use -Force to overwrite it.

PS C:\> Copy-DbaAgentProxy -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster
Copies all proxy accounts from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using Windows credentials. If proxy accounts with the same name exist on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.
PS C:\> Copy-DbaAgentProxy -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -ProxyAccount PSProxy -SourceSqlCredential $cred -Force
Copies only the PSProxy proxy account from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a and Windows credentials for sqlcluster. If a proxy account with the same name exists
on sqlcluster, it will be dropped and recreated because -Force was used.
PS C:\> Copy-DbaAgentProxy -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -WhatIf -Force

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.
