No not that I know of. I don’t think any of the developers use MSX, sorry

Hey Chrissy,

Is there a dbaTools command that you are familiar with that will add new target to the SQL Server Agent (MSX)? I tried looking for their docs and couldn’t find one.

Hi Chrissy, facing following issue on commands “New-DbaAvailabilityGroup @params”

error message start…

WARNING: [13:05:48][New-DbaAvailabilityGroup] Failure | Cannot join availability group ‘test-ag’. Download configuration timeout.
Please check primary configuration, network connectivity and firewall setup, then retry the operation.

Failed to join local availability replica to availability group ‘test-ag’. The operation encountered SQL Server error 47106 and has been rolled back.

error message end

Also noticed shouldn’t be Primary =”localhost:1433″? as “# setup a powershell splat” code works and failed without “:1433”

setup a powershell splat

$params = @{
Primary = “localhost”

Comment on keeping availability group logins in sync automatically by Fred Sanders

Hi Andreas,

I am very happy with this script. However, how could I go about logging the results of Copy-DBALogin to a file? I have tried a couple variations of start-transcript to no avail.

Hi CHRISSY LEMAIRE , How can we get the list of server to verify the spn?

Where we can get the $servers detail, can you please explain it.

Comment on scheduling powershell tasks with sql agent by Peter Daniels

@wsuhoey and I just worked through an issue with $env:PSModulePath on slack (Thank you, @wsuhoey). Even though I was using the same domain account to develop my script (in vscode) and to run the SQL Agent proxy for cmdExec, it was not using the same profiles, and therefore an Import-Module in my script quietly failed in my job exec even with -Verbose and -ErrorAction “Stop”. Just a note for folks to pay attention to various powershell profiles and $env:PSModulePath. Cheers.

Thanks! I don’t have the code for that function anymore, but you can see something close to it in the post on my blog where I demonstrated PoshRSJob. That is available at https://flxsql.com/powershell-multithreading-with-poshrsjob/ – scroll down to “Bonus Round”.
