Hello
I have tried to use your template with a SQL auth connections but i have the following error.

Exception lors de l'appel de « EnumScript » avec « 1 » argument(s) : « Fail to connect to X.X.X.X. »
Au caractère C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\test2.ps1:104 : 4
+             $scripter.EnumScript($o)
+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConnectionFailureException

But it's able to connect as he sees all table, but for each table when it tries to output the data, i have this same error.
Does the loop needs another connexion inside?
I'm a begginner in powershell so i'm a little bit lost !

It only needs one connection at the start of the script.

I'm not sure what your issue is. If it can connect to the server but not get table metadata it could be related to permissions.

Thanks for your answer!

For now i'm using it on the main server.
But i think it's coming from trying to connect as my server is not on my "network"

Anyway , do you have any idea how to extract only the table i need?
For example i have a file txt where i have put the name of the table i need

Thanks in advance

Hello

I'm still struggling with this code
So i'm using this code from a remote computer connected to a DBserver
So i could connect to my server this time
The script is able to see the DB, the table, the view. i can see everything when i check the variables
He creates the folders but there is no data
I have check the rights of the folder
I'm admin of my computer
I have even put the group "everyone" on the folder
Have you test remotely on your side?

Kind Regards

Maxime

Sorry mate, I haven't used this script for years so I have no idea anymore :)

Hi Maxime,

I changed the script to my needs.
This is working remotely for me, hope it works for you too.
