Optional Parameters

-SqlInstance

The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function
to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.

-SqlCredential

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.

-Database

The target database(s).

-FileGroup

The name(s) of the filegroup(s).

-Default

Specifies if the filegroup should be the default. Only one filegroup in a database can be specified as the default.

-ReadOnly

Specifies the filegroup should be readonly. To change the filegroup to readwrite use -ReadOnly:$false

-AutoGrowAllFiles

Specifies the filegroup should auto grow all files if one file has met the threshold to auto grow. To revert this setting use -AutoGrowAllFiles:$false

-InputObject

Allows piping from Get-DbaDatabase and Get-DbaDbFileGroup.

-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

Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
