Copy-DbaEndpoint migrates server endpoints from one SQL Server to another.
By default, all endpoints are copied.
If the endpoint already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless -Force is used.

PS C:\> Copy-DbaEndpoint -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster
Copies all server endpoints from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster, using Windows credentials. If endpoints with the same name exist on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.
PS C:\> Copy-DbaEndpoint -Source sqlserver2014a -SourceSqlCredential $cred -Destination sqlcluster -Endpoint tg_noDbDrop -Force
Copies only the tg_noDbDrop endpoint from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a and Windows credentials for sqlcluster. If an endpoint with the same name exists on
sqlcluster, it will be dropped and recreated because -Force was used.
PS C:\> Copy-DbaEndpoint -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.
| Alias | |
| Required | False |
| Pipeline | false |
| Default Value | False |
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.

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