function Get-DbaSpConfigure {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Returns all server level system configuration (sys.configuration/sp_configure) information
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        This function returns server level system configuration (sys.configuration/sp_configure) information. The information is gathered through SMO Configuration.Properties.
        The data includes the default value for each configuration, for quick identification of values that may have been changed.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .PARAMETER Name
        Return only specific configurations. Name can be either values from (sys.configuration/sp_configure) or from SMO object
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeName
        Exclude specific configurations. Name can be either values from (sys.configuration/sp_configure) or from SMO object
 
    .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.

    .INPUTS
        A DbaInstanceParameter representing an array of SQL Server instances.
 
    .OUTPUTS
        Returns PSCustomObject with properties ServerName, ComputerName, InstanceName, SqlInstance, Name, DisplayName, Description, IsAdvanced, IsDynamic, MinValue, MaxValue, ConfiguredValue, RunningValue, DefaultValue, IsRunningDefaultValue
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance localhost
 
        Returns all system configuration information on the localhost.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> 'localhost','localhost\namedinstance' | Get-DbaSpConfigure
 
        Returns system configuration information on multiple instances piped into the function
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance sql2012 -Name 'max server memory (MB)'
 
        Returns only the system configuration for MaxServerMemory on sql2012.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-DbaSpConfigure -SqlInstance sql2012 -ExcludeName 'max server memory (MB)', RemoteAccess | Out-GridView
 
        Returns system configuration information on sql2012 but excludes for max server memory (MB) and remote access. Values returned in grid view
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $cred = Get-Credential SqlCredential
        PS C:\> 'sql2012' | Get-DbaSpConfigure -SqlCredential $cred -Name RemoteAccess, 'max server memory (MB)' -ExcludeName 'remote access' | Out-GridView
 
        Returns system configuration information on sql2012 using SQL Server Authentication. Only MaxServerMemory is returned as RemoteAccess was also excluded.
