PowerShell 3 - TRY & CATCH a Non-Termination Error

Hi everyone,

I have written a script that changes the ownership of homefolders and files to the AD user account.  There are some folders that are on the SAN that does not allow Access.  I have tried the TRY & CATCH error handling, but can not write the error to a file of the folder that has access denied error:


$ADDetails = Import-Csv "C:\PSScripts\FolderOwnership\ADUser.csv"
$DomainName =  “Europe”
$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"

foreach ($ADDetail in $ADDetails)
{
      #SamAccountName,"HomeDirectory"
      $HomeDirectoryPath = $ADDetail.HomeDirectory
      $ntAccount = $ADDetail.SamAccountName

            Write-Verbose "$ntAccount : $HomeDirectoryPath"
            $ntAccount = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("$DomainName","$ntAccount")
            
            $SubDirectories = Get-ChildItem $HomeDirectoryPath -Recurse
            
                  Foreach ($FolderName in $SubDirectories)
                  {

                        Try
                        {
                              #Set Parent Folder Ownership
                              Get-Item -LiteralPath "$HomeDirectoryPath" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Get-Acl |ForEach-Object `
                              {
                                    $_.SetOwner($ntAccount)
                                    Set-Acl -aclobject $_ -Path $_.PSPath
                                    $Path = Split-Path $_.Path -NoQualifier
                                    Write-Host $Path "Folder Owner Set -" $ntAccount
                                    Write-Host "Step 1"
                              }

                              #Set Child Item Ownership
                              Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath "$HomeDirectoryPath\$FolderName" -Recurse –ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Get-Acl |ForEach-Object `
                              {
                                    $_.SetOwner($ntAccount)
                                    Set-Acl -aclobject $_ -Path $_.PSPath
                                    $Path = Split-Path $_.Path -NoQualifier
                                    Write-Host $Path "File Owner Set -" $ntAccount
                                    Write-Host "Step 2"
                              }
                        }
                        Catch
                        {
                              Write-error -Message "c:\Temp\caught.txt"
                              # Out-File 'c:\temp\errors.txt'
                        }
                  }
}
