Powershell not scripting all options specified for replication

Hi all,

So I started writing a script, borrowing form two others people have posted, and it works pretty well. Meaning it almost completely matches the output I would get from scripting the replication out from SQL Server itself. However, there are a couple of things that are not showing up in the script, and I am curious if anyone knows why? The script is attached. The pieces I am curious about are:

Adding the option to IncludeUninstallDistributor or UninstallDistributor doesn't appear to add any code to actually do that. i.e. the below code is never added.

/****** Uninstalling the server as a Distributor. Script Date: 10/1/2015 4:34:13 PM ******/
use master
exec sp_dropdistributor @no_checks = 1, @ignore_distributor = 1
GO

Also, adding the reverse for the create script generation, IncludeInstallDistributor or InstallDistributor, does not add the below code.

use master
exec sp_adddistributor @distributor = N'xxx\xxx', @password = N''
GO

The purpose of the script is simply to script out all drop/create scripts for all publications and subscriptions, run the drop script, restore over the databases using backups of non-replicated databases, run the create replication script, and have it re-sync.

This is as far as I have gotten. Thoughts?
