Required Parameters

-Source

Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.

-Destination

Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2000 or higher.

Optional Parameters

-Type

Specifies the object type to migrate. Valid options are 'ConfigurationValues', 'Profiles', 'Accounts', and 'MailServers'. When Type is specified, all categories from the selected type will be
migrated.

-SourceSqlCredential

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.

-DestinationSqlCredential

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.

-Force

If this switch is enabled, existing objects on Destination with matching names from Source will be dropped.

-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

If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.

-Confirm

If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
