Enable-DbaTraceFlag.ps1

function Enable-DbaTraceFlag {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Enable Global Trace Flag(s)

    .DESCRIPTION
        The function will set one or multiple trace flags on the SQL Server instance(s) listed.
        These are not persisted after a restart, use Set-DbaStartupParameter to set them to persist after restarts.

    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances.

    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).

        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.

        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.

    .PARAMETER TraceFlag
        Trace flag number(s) to enable globally

    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
