4 A gentle introduction to dbatools commands
Now you should be all set up and ready to start working with dbatools. In this chapter, you will learn about a few new commands and four of the common dbatools parameters: -SqlInstance, -SqlCredential, -ComputerName, and -Credential.
These parameters are particularly useful because they’re used in nearly every command to connect to both local and remote servers. The primary goal of this chapter is to get you comfortable with these common parameters. You will see them used throughout this book and in all of the dbatools that you will write in the future. Having consistent parameters throughout the entire module was a high priority for the 1.0 release of dbatools.
