<div>
you have 2 options:<br />
1. create file folder watcher which triggers every time file is added to the folder/subfolder and then create the report you requires.<br />
2. task scheduler which runs the script in predefined interval, which creates the report you requires.<br />
<br />
which one u want?

hello experts,<br />
<br />
as i cannot effectively monitor my file server (windows server 2003 R2 SP1) i want to accomplish this task by the help of powershell script.<br />
<br />
i need a script which will scan the file folder which contains folders of departments and subfolders.<br />
output should be: folder list, number of folders, number of files and total size in MB/GB.<br />
<br />
the only constraint is that there may be long folder names and many subfolders so they should also be scannable.<br />
<br />
thanks
