Strict Encryption

[brunogr84]

Hi all, due to the introduction of TLS 1.3 a while ago and SQL Server 2025 changes, is there a way to force dbatools to use Strict Encryption in the connection ? Thank you in advance.

Reference: https://dbatools.io/Connect-DbaInstance/#required-parameters mentions the "AppendConnectionString" property, so -AppendConnectionString "Encrypt=Strict" should work.

Adding a built-in switch/option, something like -EncryptConnectionStrict is probably a good new feature request:
