function Get-DbaCmsRegServerGroup {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Gets list of Server Groups objects stored in SQL Server Central Management Server (CMS).
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Returns an array of Server Groups found in the CMS.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            SQL Server name or SMO object representing the SQL Server to connect to.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
        .PARAMETER Group
            Specifies one or more groups to include from SQL Server Central Management Server.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeGroup
            Specifies one or more Central Management Server groups to exclude.
 
        .PARAMETER Id
            Get group by Id(s). This parameter only works if the group has a registered server in it.
 
        .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.
