Powershell - remote folder availability while counting files
- by ziklop
I´m trying to make a Powershell script that reports if there´s a file older than x minutes on remote folder. I make this:
$strfolder = 'folder1 ..................'
$pocet = (Get-ChildItem \\server1\edi1\folder1\*.* ) | where-object {($_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-0).AddHours(-0).AddMinutes(-20))} | Measure-Object
if($pocet.count -eq 0){Write-Host $strfolder "OK" -foreground Green}
else {Write-Host $strfolder "ERROR" -foreground Red}
But there´s one huge problem. The folder is often unavailable for me bacause of the high load and I found out when there is no connection it doesn´t report an error but continues with zero in $pocet.count. It means it reports everything is ok when the folder is unavailable.
I was thinking about using if(Test-Path..) but what about it became unavailable just after passing Test-Path?
Does anyone has a solution please?
Thank you in advance
