    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Automates the creation of availability groups.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Automates the creation of availability groups.
 
        * Checks prerequisites
        * Creates Availability Group and adds primary replica
        * Grants cluster permissions if necessary
        * Adds secondary replica if supplied
        * Adds databases if supplied
            * Performs backup/restore if seeding mode is manual
            * Performs backup to NUL if seeding mode is automatic
        * Adds listener to primary if supplied
        * Joins secondaries to availability group
        * Grants endpoint connect permissions to service accounts
        * Grants CreateAnyDatabase permissions if seeding mode is automatic
        * Returns Availability Group object from primary
 
        NOTE: If a backup / restore is performed, the backups will be left intact on the network share.

    .PARAMETER Primary
        The primary SQL Server instance. Server version must be SQL Server version 2012 or higher.
 
    .PARAMETER PrimarySqlCredential
        Login to the primary instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER Secondary
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. Server version must be SQL Server version 2012 or higher.
 
    .PARAMETER SecondarySqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER Name
        The name of the Availability Group.
 
    .PARAMETER DtcSupport
        Indicates whether the DtcSupport is enabled
 
    .PARAMETER ClusterType
        Cluster type of the Availability Group. Only supported in SQL Server 2017 and above.
        Options include: External, Wsfc or None. None by default.
 
    .PARAMETER AutomatedBackupPreference
        Specifies how replicas in the primary role are treated in the evaluation to pick the desired replica to perform a backup.
 
    .PARAMETER FailureConditionLevel
        Specifies the different conditions that can trigger an automatic failover in Availability Group.
 
    .PARAMETER HealthCheckTimeout
        This setting used to specify the length of time, in milliseconds, that the SQL Server resource DLL should wait for information returned by the sp_server_diagnostics stored procedure before reporting the Always On Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) as unresponsive.
 
        Changes that are made to the timeout settings are effective immediately and do not require a restart of the SQL Server resource.
 
        Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds).
 
    .PARAMETER Basic
        Indicates whether the availability group is basic. Basic availability groups like pumpkin spice and uggs.
 
        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/availability-groups/windows/basic-availability-groups-always-on-availability-groups
 
    .PARAMETER DatabaseHealthTrigger
        Indicates whether the availability group triggers the database health.
 
    .PARAMETER Passthru
        Don't create the availability group, just pass thru an object that can be further customized before creation.
 
    .PARAMETER Database
        The database or databases to add.
 
    .PARAMETER NetworkShare
        The network share where the backups will be backed up and restored from.
 
        Each SQL Server service account must have access to this share.
 
        NOTE: If a backup / restore is performed, the backups will be left in tact on the network share.
 
    .PARAMETER UseLastBackups
        Use the last full backup of database.
 
    .PARAMETER Force
        Drop and recreate the database on remote servers using fresh backup.
 
    .PARAMETER AvailabilityMode
        Sets the availability mode of the availability group replica. Options are: AsynchronousCommit and SynchronousCommit. SynchronousCommit is default.
 
    .PARAMETER FailoverMode
        Sets the failover mode of the availability group replica. Options are Automatic and Manual. Automatic is default.
 
    .PARAMETER BackupPriority
        Sets the backup priority availability group replica. Default is 50.
 
    .PARAMETER Endpoint
        By default, this command will attempt to find a DatabaseMirror endpoint. If one does not exist, it will create it.
 
        If an endpoint must be created, the name "hadr_endpoint" will be used. If an alternative is preferred, use Endpoint.
 
    .PARAMETER ConnectionModeInPrimaryRole
        Specifies the connection intent modes of an Availability Replica in primary role. AllowAllConnections by default.
 
    .PARAMETER ConnectionModeInSecondaryRole
        Specifies the connection modes of an Availability Replica in secondary role. AllowAllConnections by default.
 
    .PARAMETER ReadonlyRoutingConnectionUrl
        Sets the read only routing connection url for the availability replica.
 
    .PARAMETER SeedingMode
        Specifies how the secondary replica will be initially seeded.
 
        Automatic enables direct seeding. This method will seed the secondary replica over the network. This method does not require you to backup and restore a copy of the primary database on the replica.
 
        Manual requires you to create a backup of the database on the primary replica and manually restore that backup on the secondary replica.
 
    .PARAMETER Certificate
        Specifies that the endpoint is to authenticate the connection using the certificate specified by certificate_name to establish identity for authorization.
 
        The far endpoint must have a certificate with the public key matching the private key of the specified certificate.
 
    .PARAMETER IPAddress
        Sets the IP address of the availability group listener.
 
    .PARAMETER SubnetMask
        Sets the subnet IP mask of the availability group listener.
 
    .PARAMETER Port
        Sets the number of the port used to communicate with the availability group.
 
    .PARAMETER Dhcp
        Indicates whether the object is DHCP.
 
    .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.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAvailabilityGroup -Primary sql2016a -Name SharePoint -Secondary sql2016b
 
        Creates a new availability group on sql2016b named SharePoint with a secondary replica, sql2016b
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAvailabilityGroup -Primary sql2016std -Name BAG1 -Basic -Confirm:$false
 
        Creates a basic availability group named BAG1 on sql2016std and does not confirm when setting up
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAvailabilityGroup -Primary sql2016b -Name AG1 -ClusterType Wsfc -Dhcp -Database db1 -UseLastBackup
 
        Creates an availability group on sql2016b with the name ag1. Uses the last backups available to add the database db1 to the AG.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAvailabilityGroup -Primary sql2017 -Name SharePoint -ClusterType None -FailoverMode Manual
 
        Creates a new availability group on sql2017 named SharePoint with a cluster type of non and a failover mode of manual
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> New-DbaAvailabilityGroup -Primary sql1 -Secondary sql2 -Database pubs -ClusterType None -SeedingMode Automatic -FailoverMode Manual
 
        Creates a new availability group with a primary replica on sql1 and a secondary on sql2. Automatically adds the database pubs.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $cred = Get-Credential sqladmin
        PS C:\> $params = @{
                    >> Primary = "sql1"
                    >> PrimarySqlCredential = $cred
                    >> Secondary = "sql2"
                    >> SecondarySqlCredential = $cred
                    >> Database = "pubs"
