Parameters
1| Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
| ServiceContext | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPServiceContextPipeBind | Specifies the service context for the Access Services database server to be set. | ||
| DatabaseServer | Required | Microsoft.Office.Access.Services.PowerShell.AccessServicesDatabaseServerPipeBind | Specifies the ServerID of the server running SQL Server to update. | ||
| DatabaseServerGroup | Required | Microsoft.Office.Access.Services.PowerShell.AccessServicesDatabaseServerGroupPipeBind | Specifies the Access Services database server group to be set. | ||
| AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
| ||
| Confirm | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters | ||
| DatabaseServerCredentials | Optional | System.Management.Automation.PSCredential | Specifies the Credential object for the database user. Use this parameter if you use SQL Server Authentication. If no database credentials are provided, Windows authentication is used. | ||
| DatabaseServerName | Optional | System.String | Specifies the database server name. | ||
| WhatIf | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters |
