The target SQL Server instance or instances. Defaults to standard instance on localhost. If target is a cluster, you must specify the distinct nodes.

-Credential

Alternate credential object to use for accessing the target computer(s).

-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.
