    .SYNOPSIS

    Copies Azure NSG security rules from one NSG to another

    .DESCRIPTION

    Copies all the Azure Network Security Group security rules 
    from one Network Security Group to another Network Security Group.

    It can also create new Network Security Group if the target Network Security 
    doesn't exist.

    .PARAMETER SourceResourceGroupName
    Specify the source Resource Group Name

    .PARAMETER SourceNSGName
    Specify the source Network Security Group Name

    .PARAMETER TargetNSGName
    Specify the target Network Security Group Name

    .PARAMETER SourceNSG
    Specify the source Network Security Group

    .PARAMETER TargetNSG
    Specify the target Network Security Group

    .PARAMETER TargetResourceGroupName
    Specify the target Resource Group Name to create new Network Security Group

    .PARAMETER TargetLocation
    Specify the location to create new Network Security Group

    .INPUTS
    None

    .OUTPUTS
    System.String. Information

    .EXAMPLE

     . .\Copy-AzNSGRules.ps1
    PS C:\> Copy-AzNSGRules -SourceResourceGroupName 'rg1' -SourceNSGName 'nsg1' -TargetResourceGroupName 'rg2' -TargetNSGName 'nsg2'

    To copy security rules from the existing source NSG to existing target NSG

    Output:
    Following 2 security rule(s) is/are copied from source NSG 'rg1\nsg1' to target NSG 'rg2\nsg2'
    Deny_Internet, Allow_SqlServer

    .EXAMPLE

     . .\Copy-AzNSGRules.ps1
    PS C:\> Copy-AzNSGRules -SourceResourceGroupName 'rg1' -SourceNSGName 'nsg1' -TargetNSGName 'nsg2' -TargetResourceGroupName 'rg2' -TargetLocation 'southindia'

    To create a new NSG and then copy security rules from the existing source NSG

    Output:
    New NSG 'nsg2' has been created in resource group 'rg2' in 'southindia' location.
    Following 2 security rule(s) is/are copied from source NSG 'rg1\nsg1' to target NSG 'rg2\nsg2'
    Deny_Internet, Allow_SqlServer

    (If the target NSG is already existed)
    Output:
    The NSG 'nsg2' is already existed, so vomiting the '-TagetLocation' parameter value and skiping the NSG creation.
    Following 2 security rule(s) is/are copied from source NSG 'rg1\nsg1' to target NSG 'rg2\nsg2'
    Deny_Internet, Allow_SqlServer

    .EXAMPLE

     . .\Copy-AzNSGRules.ps1
    PS C:\> $nsg1 = Get-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName 'rg1' -Name 'nsg1'
    PS C:\> $nsg2 = Get-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName 'rg2' -Name 'nsg2'
    PS C:\> Copy-AzNSGRules -SourceNSG $nsg1 -TargetNSG $nsg2

    To copy security rules from the existing source NSG to existing target NSG (When direct NSG objects are provided)

    Output:
    Following 2 security rule(s) is/are copied from source NSG 'rg1\nsg1' to target NSG 'rg2\nsg2'
    Deny_Internet, Allow_SqlServer

    .EXAMPLE

     . .\Copy-AzNSGRules.ps1
    PS C:\> $nsg1 = Get-AzNetworkSecurityGroup -ResourceGroupName 'rg1' -Name 'nsg1'
    PS C:\> Copy-AzNSGRules -SourceNSG $nsg1 -TargetNSGName 'nsg2' -TargetResourceGroupName 'rg2' -TargetLocation 'southindia'

    To create a new NSG and then copy security rules from the existing source NSG (When direct source NSG object is provided)

    Output:
    New NSG 'nsg2' has been created in resource group 'rg2' in 'southindia' location.
    Following 2 security rule(s) is/are copied from source NSG 'rg1\nsg1' to target NSG 'rg2\nsg2'
    Deny_Internet, Allow_SqlServer

    (If the target NSG is already existed)
    Output:
    The NSG 'nsg2' is already existed, so vomiting the '-TagetLocation' parameter value and skiping the NSG creation.
    Following 2 security rule(s) is/are copied from source NSG 'rg1\nsg1' to target NSG 'rg2\nsg2'
