使用“2”参数调用“.ctor”的异常：“数据库'XXX'的SetParent失败。”

Question

I have a problem with running SQLPS commands to create a DB on Windows Server 2012R2 and Powershell v4

#Import SQL Server Module called SQLPS
Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking

#Your SQL Server Instance Name
$Inst = "sql03"
$Srvr = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $Inst

#database PSDB with default settings
#by assuming that this database does not yet exist in current instance
$DBName = "PSDB"
$db = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database($Srvr, $DBName)
$db.Create()

#Confirm, list databases in your current instance
$Srvr.Databases |
Select Name, Status, Owner, CreateDate

I receive the below error:

New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "SetParent failed for Database 'PSDB'. "
At C:\test.ps1:11 char:7
+ $db = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database($Srvr, $D ...
+       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [New-Object], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConstructorInvokedThrowException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At C:\test.ps1:12 char:1
+ $db.Create()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

The following exception occurred while trying to enumerate the collection: "Failed to connect to server sql03.".
At C:\test.ps1:15 char:1
+ $Srvr.Databases |
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], ExtendedTypeSystemException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExceptionInGetEnumerator

Any suggestions how to fix this?

If you are working locally try replacing:

$Srvr = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $Inst

With:

$Srvr = new-object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') localhost
