You didn’t imply to drop linked servers with a failed connection. I think I just had a vision of spring cleaning. 😉 As you said, verify why the connection failed. It’s a great addition to dbatools. Thanks again!

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you should be dropping linked servers. Not at all. Just that you should verify why the connection has failed. Thanks for the comment, I did not think about replication in my testing. Here’s hoping someone takes the cmdlet and enhances it to consider that scenario!

The original powershell and version in dbatools report the linked server connectivity as failing. Failed connectivity may not mean “drop this linked server” in your environment. A linked server that is not configured for data access may still be in use. “Server ‘MYSERVER’ is not configured for DATA ACCESS”

Great script, Thank you.
