Export-DbaSysDbUserObject View Source Jess Pomfret (@jpomfret) Windows, Linux, macOS Synopsis Discovers and exports user-created objects from SQL Server system databases (master, model, msdb) to SQL script files. Description Scans the master, model, and msdb system databases to identify tables, views, stored procedures, functions, triggers, and other objects that were created by users rather than SQL Server itself. This function helps DBAs document custom objects that may have been inadvertently created in system databases, which is critical for server migrations, compliance audits, and maintaining clean system database environments.
