i did a big Powershell documentation initiative.

this script from awhile ago started it:

Powershell script to script out jobs, databases, users, linked servers, logins, roles, alerts, etc from a list of servers

using that as a baseline, i added the scripting all database objects(tables/views/etc);

after that i added scripts to extract all SSRS Reports and objects from the ReportServer database;

then I've got a pair that extract SSIS packages from either the SSIS catalog, or the SSISDB if it was a 2012+ server.

I've got a couple still on my to-do list: extracting master keys, credentials and SSRS encryption keys via powershell;

things i also already do in TSQL, that i could do in powershell would be scripting out traces,extended events, database mail settings, and linked servers(in the way i like it, not the way the above link does it).
