Troubleshooting DBATools Compatibility Error in PowerShell

If you're a database administrator or developer using PowerShell for SQL Server tasks, you may encounter errors while running commands from the DBATools module.

Understanding the Error

This error occurs due to a mismatch in the SQL Server compatibility level being passed to the DBATools commands. The enumerator names listed (Version60, Version65, etc.) indicate valid compatibility levels supported by SQL Server but fail to include Version150, which corresponds to SQL Server 2019.

The key takeaway here is that the DBATools module you have installed might not recognize the compatibility levels for newer SQL Server versions, which can occur if the required modules are not properly loaded.

The Solution

To resolve this error, you can modify your PowerShell script to ensure that all necessary modules are properly imported at the beginning. Here's a clear breakdown of the steps you should take:

Step 1: Import Necessary Modules

Add the following lines at the very start of your PowerShell script:
