When opening a connection we test if we need a DAC and we test if we already have a DAC. We reuse a DAC when possible. We remember if we opened a DAC to later be able to close it.

Get-DecryptedObject needs two things:

• A Dedicated Admin Connection (DAC) to select master.sys.syslnklgns
• A WinRM connection to read "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server$serviceInstanceId\Security"

That's why Get-DecryptedObject needs $Credential which it used all the time, but the parameter was missing. So every command that calls Get-DecryptedObject needs $Credential as well.
