Description

The Set-SqlSmartAdmin cmdlet configures or modifies the BackupEnabled, BackupRetentionPeriodinDays, MasterSwitch, and SqlCredential parameter settings. This cmdlet can be run for only instance level configurations and not for a specific database.

This cmdlet supports the following modes of operation to return the object:

  • Pass a Smo.Server object to the InputObject parameter, either directly or through the pipeline.
  • Pass the path of the instance of SQL Server to the Path parameter

Examples

Example 1: Configure backup retention and storage settings

PS C:\> $EncryptionOption = New-SqlBackupEncryptionOption -EncryptionAlgorithm Aes128 -EncryptorType ServerCertificate -EncryptorName "MyBackupCert"

This command configures backup retention for storage settings that uses the encryptor named MyBackupCert and stores the result in the variable named $EncryptionOption.

Parameters

-AccessToken

The access token used to authenticate to SQL Server, as an alternative to user/password or Windows Authentication.

This can be used, for example, to connect to SQL Azure DB and SQL Azure Managed Instance using a Service Principal or a Managed Identity.

The parameter to use can be either a string representing the token or a PSAccessToken object as returned by running Get-AzAccessToken -ResourceUrl https://database.windows.net.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

-BackupRetentionPeriodInDays

Specifies the number of days the backup files should be retained. This determines the timeframe of the recoverability for the databases. For instance, if you set the value for 30 days, you can recover a database to a point in time in the last 30 days.

-Encrypt

The encryption type to use when connecting to SQL Server.

This value maps to the Encrypt property SqlConnectionEncryptOption on the SqlConnection object of the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver.

In v22 of the module, the default is Optional (for compatibility with v21). In v23+ of the module, the default value will be 'Mandatory', which may create a breaking change for existing scripts.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.

-HostNameInCertificate

The host name to be used in validating the SQL Server TLS/SSL certificate. You must pass this parameter if your SQL Server instance is enabled for Force Encryption and you want to connect to an instance using hostname/shortname. If this parameter is omitted then passing the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to -ServerInstance is necessary to connect to a SQL Server instance enabled for Force Encryption.

This parameter is new in v22 of the module.
