function Test-DbaPowerPlan {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Checks the Power Plan settings for compliance with best practices, which recommend High Performance for SQL Server.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Checks the Power Plan settings on a computer against best practices recommendations. If one server is checked, only $true or $false is returned. If multiple servers are checked, each server's name and an isBestPractice field are returned.
 
            Specify -Detailed for details.

        .PARAMETER ComputerName
            The server(s) to check Power Plan settings on.
 
        .PARAMETER Credential
            Specifies a PSCredential object to use in authenticating to the server(s), instead of the current user account.
 
        .PARAMETER CustomPowerPlan
            If your organization uses a custom power plan that's considered best practice, specify it here.
 
        .PARAMETER Detailed
            If this switch is enabled, a detailed list will be returned. This parameter will be removed in 1.0.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            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.
