Change shortcut links to new location

Hello All,

I'm currently trying to get the following script to work, but need to adjust it to match anything with  "\\server1\IT". Using -eq works perfectly for folders, however when using -match I get the following error.

parsing "\\server1\IT" - Unrecognized escape sequence \I

Script should change files and folders location. Ex  "\\server1\IT\Document.docx" to "\\newserver\IT\Document.docx"



# Call wscript com object
$shell = new-object -com wscript.shell
$oldsharepath = "\\server1\IT"

# Recurse through directories for .lnk files
dir 'D:\Test Server1' -filter *.lnk -recurse | foreach {
$lnk = $shell.createShortcut($_.fullname)
$oldPath= $lnk.targetPath
# If match text, perform operation
if($oldpath -match $oldsharepath)
{
write-host "Match: " + $_.fullname
remove-item $_.fullname
$lnknew = $shell.createShortcut($_.fullname)
$lnknew.targetPath = "`"\\newserver\share1`""
$lnknew.IconLocation = "%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,4"
$lnknew.Save()
}
}
Write-Host "End..."
