    {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    This gets a computer target group from the WSUS Database.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    This gets a computer target group from the WSUS Database.
 
    .PARAMETER ComputerTargetGroupName
    This is the naming pattern of the groups you're querying.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    This example gets any computer with wks in the name with a timeout of 100 seconds and uses SQLAuth
    Get-ECSWSUSComputerTargetGroup -ComputerTargetGroupName "*wks*"
 
    .EXAMPLE
    This example gets any computer with wks and pc in the name with not timeout and uses passthru auth
    Get-ECSWSUSComputerTargetGroup -ComputerTargetGroupName @("*wks*","*pc-*")
