function Get-DbaLinkedServer {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Gets all linked servers and summary of information from the sql servers listed
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Retrieves information about each linked server on the instance
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the function
            to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER LinkedServer
            The linked server(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all linked servers will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeLinkedServer
            The linked server(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server
 
        .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.
