Can't get powershell to return where results from GCI using ACL
- by Rossaluss
I'm trying to get Powershell to list files in a directory that are older than a certain date and match a certain user. I've got the below script so far which gives me all the files older than a certain date and lists the directory and who owns them:
$date=get-date
$age=$date.AddDays(-30)
ls '\\server\share\folder' -File -Recurse | `
where {$_.lastwritetime -lt "$age"} | `
select-object $_.fullname,{(Get-ACL $_.FullName).Owner} | `
ft -AutoSize
However, when I try and use an additional where parameter to select only files owned by a certain user, I get no results at all, even though I know I should, based on the match I'm trying to obtain (as below):
$date=get-date
$age=$date.AddDays(-30)
ls '\\server\share\folder' -File -Recurse | `
where ({$_.lastwritetime -lt "$age"} -and {{(get-acl $_.FullName).owner} -eq "domain\user"}) | `
select-object $_.fullname,{(Get-ACL $_.FullName).Owner} | `
ft -AutoSize
Am I missing something? Can I not use the get-acl command in a where condition as I've tried to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
