Returns the configured value that was assigned to the key 'System.MailServer'

Example: 2

PS C:\> Get-DbatoolsConfigValue -Name 'Default.CoffeeMilk' -Fallback 0

Required Parameters

-FullName

The full name (.) of the configured value to return.

Optional Parameters

-Fallback

A fallback value to use, if no value was registered to a specific configuration element. This basically is a default value that only applies on a "per call" basis, rather than a system-wide default.

-NotNull

By default, this function returns null if one tries to retrieve the value from either a Configuration that does not exist or a Configuration whose value was set to null. However, sometimes it may be important that some value was returned. By specifying this parameter, the function will throw an error if no value was found at all.
