• Powershell enters foreach loop with null object

  - by SteB

  I'm listing all backups in a given directory: $backups = Get-ChildItem -Path $zipFilepath | Where-Object {($_.lastwritetime -lt (Get-Date).addDays(-7)) -and (-not $_.PSIsContainer) -and ($_.Name -like "backup*")} If I set it to deliberately return no files (.addDays(-600) then the following prints "Empty" (as expected): if (!$backups) { "Empty" } If I try to list the names with an empty $backups variable: foreach ($file in $backups) { $file.FullName; } I get nothing (as expected), if I change this to: "test"+ $file.FullName; then I get a single "test" under the "Empty". How is this possible if $backups is empty?

• Zipping only files using powershell

  - by SteB

  I'm trying to zip all the files in a single directory to a different folder as part of a simple backup routine. The code runs ok but doesn't produce a zip file: $srcdir = "H:\Backup" $filename = "test.zip" $destpath = "K:\" $zip_file = (new-object -com shell.application).namespace($destpath + "\"+ $filename) $destination = (new-object -com shell.application).namespace($destpath) $files = Get-ChildItem -Path $srcdir foreach ($file in $files) { $file.FullName; if ($file.Attributes -cne "Directory") { $destination.CopyHere($file, 0x14); } } Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

• Windows GPO default mapped drives

  - by SteB

  Is there a way, using Windows GPO, to set up a list of "default" mapped drives that can be applied to a group of users? I runs small network and would like to make sure that certain groups of users (like Sales or Support) have the same network shares mapped to the same drive letters irrespective of which PC they log onto. This would make the setup of new users easier and allow the centralised administration of the network locations shared. Any links to examples and/or step-by-step guides would be greatly appreciated.

• Protect foreach loop when empty list

  - by SteB

  Using Powershell v2.0 I want to delete any files older than X days: $backups = Get-ChildItem -Path $Backuppath | Where-Object {($_.lastwritetime -lt (Get-Date).addDays(-$DaysKeep)) -and (-not $_.PSIsContainer) -and ($_.Name -like "backup*")} foreach ($file in $backups) { Remove-Item $file.FullName; } However, when $backups is empty I get: Remove-Item : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null. I've tried: Protecting the foreach with if (!$backups) Protecting the Remove-Item with if (Test-Path $file -PathType Leaf) Protecting the Remove-Item with if ([IO.File]::Exists($file.FullName) -ne $true) None of these seem to work, what if the recommended way of preventing a foreach loop from being entered if the list is empty?
