SMO scripting doesn't generate Create Statistics

PowerShell Help
1

Something is inconsistent about this powershell scripting with SMO.( sql server ) With these options I get create statistic statements on about 12 tables where there are numerous statistics on many other tables that powershell left out. The create index statements should re-create index-related statistics, but the vast majority of column-based stats are left out: e.g. _WA_Sys_00000002_69FBBC1F

$scripter = new-object (“$My.Scripter”) $srv # create the scripter
#$scripter.DiscoverDependencies(
$scripter.Options.ToFileOnly = $true
#$scripter.Options.WithDependencies =$true
$scripter.Options.Statistics=$true
$scripter.Options.ExtendedProperties= $true # yes, we want these
$scripter.Options.DRIAll= $true # and all the constraints
$scripter.Options.Indexes= $true # Yup, these would be nice
$scripter.Options.Triggers= $true # This should be included
$scripter.Options.DriForeignKeys=$true

The full script:

$ServerName='sacsqldevvs001.cm.fdielt.com\sacsqldevinst001' # the server it is on
$Database='cmsperformance' # the name of the database you want to script as objects
$DirectoryToSaveTo='C:\Users\randall.petty\Documents\work\powershell' # the directory where you want to store them
# Load SMO assembly, and if we're running SQL 2008 DLLs load the SMOExtended and SQLWMIManagement libraries
$v = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName( 'Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO')
if ((($v.FullName.Split(','))[1].Split('='))[1].Split('.')[0] -ne '9') {
   [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMOExtended') | out-null
}
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum') | out-null
 
set-psdebug -strict # catch a few extra bugs

$My='Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo'
$srv = new-object ("$My.Server") $ServerName # attach to the server
if ($srv.ServerType-eq $null) # if it managed to find a server
   {
   Write-Error "Sorry, but I couldn't find Server '$ServerName' "
   return
}
$scripter = new-object ("$My.Scripter") $srv # create the scripter

# first we get the bitmap of all the object types we want
$objectsToDo =[long] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseObjectTypes]::Table
# and we store them in a datatable
$d = new-object System.Data.Datatable


# get just the tables
$d=$srv.databases[$Database].EnumObjects($objectsToDo) 
# and write out each scriptable object as a file in the directory you specify
$d| FOREACH-OBJECT { # for every object we have in the datatable.    
    $SavePath="$($DirectoryToSaveTo)\$($_.DatabaseObjectTypes)\$($_.Schema)"
    # create the directory if necessary (SMO doesn't).
    if (!( Test-Path -path $SavePath )) # create it if not existing
           {Try { New-Item $SavePath -type directory | out-null }
        Catch [system.exception]{
             Write-Error "error while creating '$SavePath' $_"
             return
             }
        }
    # tell the scripter object where to write it
    $scripter.Options.Filename = "$SavePath\$($_.name -replace '[\\\/\:\.]','-').sql";
    # Create a single element URN array
    $UrnCollection = new-object ("$My.urnCollection")
    $URNCollection.add($_.urn)
    # and write out the object to the specified file
    #Write-Host $_.urn
    #if ( $_.urn -match 'Persistent_Object_Reference') {
    $scripter.script($URNCollection)
   # }
    }
    
"All is written out, wondrous human"

Guess we’re all stumped.
