Copy-SqlLinkedServer ignored Linked server #4
Description
I ran Copy-SqlLinkedServer in both -WhatIf and not whatif mode and it ignored a linked server that was 2 characters long, "SQ".
Here is the script for creating the Linked Server for more information so you can try to diagnose what went wrong:
USE [master]

/ For security reasons the linked server remote logins password is changed with ######## */
