<p>Copy SQL Server Agent from one server to another.</p>
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
<p>A wrapper function that calls the associated Copy command for each of the object types seen in SSMS under SQL Server Agent. This also copies all of the the SQL Agent properties (job history max rows, DBMail profile name, etc.).</p>
<p>You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or greater.</p>

<h5 id="enableexception">-EnableException</h5>
<p>By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.<br />
This avoids overwhelming you with &quot;sea of red&quot; exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.<br />
Using this switch turns this &quot;nice by default&quot; feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.<br></p>
