asked on
file share and directory report
is there any easy way in powershell to produce a report around a file servers structure?
i.e. essentially I want it to report all shares and the root level directories into one report. I dont want the report to go any deeper that the top level root folders per share i.e.\\server\share\folder1

Numbers would be great. I am not to bothered about size of each directory but theres no harm including that directory and it could be useful.
I.e. say for example my server has 5 shares, and in those 10 root (top) level directories, I'd expect the report to list 50 rows of data. However, it would be great to see how many sub dirs are in each root level directory, but this information isnt essential. So just UNC paths would be sufficient in the end report.
Ideally the end report would be something along the lines of
\\server1\share1\dir1
\\server1\share1\dir2
\\server1\share2\dir1
\\server2\share1\dir1
etc, ideally written to CSV.

So just to confirm
UNC paths of each of the top level directories?
All thrown into a CSV?

You want just the top folder name and you want to know
- How many folders and files are in the subdirectories?
- What size the top level folder and all subdirectories equal?
So I guess what I am asking is
Lets say you have 10 folders in the top directory
Finance
Administration
IT
Management
ETC
Do you want a detailed report of files and folders and size etc under each of the main directories so you can show a manager how much space finance is wasting (it's always finance ) ^_^ or something similar..?
