function Start-DbaEndpoint {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Starts endpoints on a SQL Server instance.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Starts endpoints on a SQL Server instance.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. 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 Endpoint
        Only start specific endpoints.
 
    .PARAMETER AllEndpoints
        Start all endpoints on an instance, ignoring the packaged endpoints: AlwaysOn_health, system_health, telemetry_xevents.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Internal parameter to support piping from Get-Endpoint
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command.
 
    .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.
