Syncs dependent objects such as jobs, logins and custom errors for availability groups
Syncs dependent objects for availability groups. Such objects include:
SpConfigure
CustomErrors
Credentials
DatabaseMail
LinkedServers
Logins
LoginPermissions
SystemTriggers
DatabaseOwner
AgentCategory
AgentOperator
AgentAlert
AgentProxy
AgentSchedule
AgentJob
Note that any of these can be excluded. For specific object exclusions (such as a single job), using the underlying Copy-Dba* command will be required.
This command does not filter by which logins are in use by the ag databases or which linked servers are used. All objects that are not excluded will be copied like hulk smash.

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.
