Function Copy-SqlServerTrigger
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Copy-SqlServerTrigger migrates server triggers from one SQL Server to another.

.DESCRIPTION
By default, all triggers are copied. The -Triggers parameter is autopopulated for command-line completion and can be used to copy only specific triggers.

If the trigger already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless -Force is used.

.PARAMETER Source
Source SQL Server.You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.

.PARAMETER Destination
Destination Sql Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.

.PARAMETER SourceSqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use:

$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SourceSqlCredential parameter.

Windows Authentication will be used if DestinationSqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.

.PARAMETER DestinationSqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins as opposed to Windows Auth/Integrated/Trusted. To use:

$dcred = Get-Credential, then pass this $dcred to the -DestinationSqlCredential parameter.

Windows Authentication will be used if DestinationSqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.

.EXAMPLE
Copy-SqlServerTrigger -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster

Copies all server triggers from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster, using Windows credentials. If triggers with the same name exist on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.

.EXAMPLE
Copy-SqlServerTrigger -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -Trigger tg_noDbDrop -SourceSqlCredential $cred -Force

Copies a single trigger, the tg_noDbDrop trigger from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster, using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a
and Windows credentials for sqlcluster. If a trigger with the same name exists on sqlcluster, it will be dropped and recreated because -Force was used.

.EXAMPLE
Copy-SqlServerTrigger -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -WhatIf -Force

Shows what would happen if the command were executed using force.
