Connect-DbaInstance - Support making DAC connection

[wsmelton]

Something I think @FriedrichWeinmann will need to assist with is allowing our DbaInstance parameter to handle admin:$instance so we can allow our connect command to make the DAC connection into SQL Server.

Currently, our type is borking because it can't parse it:

Once that is done then we can easily adjust the settings for the connection to handle making that DAC connection to the instance. Some of the leg work for this is being done via #6828

[FriedrichWeinmann]

Happy to update that.
How exactly should I parse that notation however?

Is that <hostname>:<Instancename> ?

[wsmelton]

The "admin:" I would think should indicator that the fact connection is desired. I don't know if we maybe add a property for this?

Anything after that would be your normal host and/or instance name.

[FriedrichWeinmann]

Alright, so basically I'll be parsing everything after the colon as the actual input and the leading 'admin:' changes the input-type to 'DAC' or somesuch, which Connect-DbaInstance will respect?
Can definitely do that :)
Today.

Thanks so much to you both 🥳

[wsmelton]

Well they are exceptions that what is on the left on the colon is used.

"tcp:" vs "np:" whitch I think is being handled either on the type or by connect command, can't remember.

(lol you made your theme sparkle, nice, @wsmelton !)

@FriedrichWeinmann - Is this already implemented?

[wsmelton]

No, requires a change to our library code.
