database

This script adds all user databases which are not yet replicated to a specific SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group. After that a check procedure is started to check if replication state for all databases exists and are healthy. Alerts can be send to an e-mail address or to the Windows Eventlog (or both).

This script uses custum functions fnSendMail, fnWriteEventLog to send alert messages and fnSQLCmd for handeling SQL statements.
