Transfer Object Default Values Not Transferring

Question

I'm trying to use the Transfer Class to copy a database from one server to another. I can't get the column Default Values transferred over successfully. Everything else (data, constraints, etc.) is coming over without issue. Restoring from backup is not an option.

try{Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking}
catch{write-error "Could not import SQLPS powershell module."}

$SourceInstanceName = 'localhost'
$DestInstanceName = xxx'
$CopyDBName = 'xxx'
$SourceDBName = 'xxx'


$source  = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $SourceInstanceName

$mySrvConn = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection
$mySrvConn.ServerInstance=$DestInstanceName
$mySrvConn.LoginSecure = $false
$mySrvConn.Login = "xxx"
$mySrvConn.Password = "xxx"


$dest =  New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server($mySrvConn)
#create SMO handle to your database
$SourceDB = $source.Databases[$SourceDBName]

#database to hold the copy of your source database
$CopyDB = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Database -ArgumentList $dest , $CopyDBName
$CopyDB.Create()

#Use SMO Transfer Class by specifying source database
#you can specify properties you want either brought over or excluded, when the copy happens
$ObjTransfer = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SMO.Transfer -ArgumentList $SourceDB

$ObjTransfer.DestinationDatabase = $CopyDBName
$ObjTransfer.DestinationServer = $DestInstanceName
$ObjTransfer.DestinationLoginSecure = $false # can enable once all servers are on domain
$ObjTransfer.DestinationLogin = 'xxxxxx'
$ObjTransfer.DestinationPassword = 'xxxxxx' 

#if you wish to just generate the copy script
#just script out the transfer
 #$ObjTransfer.ScriptTransfer()

#When you are ready to bring the data and schema over,
#you can use the TransferData method

Answer 1

Found the property I was missing

xfrObject.Options.DriDefaults=True
