In the series on dbatools module we at are going to look next at the Copy-SqlDatabaseMail

If you are not in a particularly large shop (or a well funded one) you may not have the most robust monitoring solution, but you may at least have an open Email relay for you use. Setting up Email alerts on an Sql instance are very important so that you may receive notifications of job failures, or completions of integration service jobs. Additionally you may have triggered jobs which notify you of specific database fill. Once you configure these settings it may be a pain to recreate these on another instance especially if you are not the email admin.

By using this syntax you can easily migrate the settings

Copy-SQLDatabaseMail -Source SQL2012 -Destination SQL2016

After migrating the settings you may still need to enable the mail services on the specific instance you are migrating towards (right click agent > Alert System > Enable Mail Profile), but once you do this you will have all the settings in place for your alerts. Now you may also want to use the Copy-SqlOperator if you have specific Email addresses setup on your Jobs. This is absolutely a pre-requisite before you migrate specific jobs from another instance.
