Actually, I think I mistook your use of a parameter that is unsupported as if it was part of the directory path.

If not, then you need to wrap your directory path in quotes.

Second part
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>((Get-ChildItem c:\test -Directory).GetAccessControl('Access')).Access
Get-ChildItem : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Directory'.
At line:1 char:35
+ ((Get-ChildItem c:\test -Directory <<<< ).GetAccessControl('Access')).Access
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-ChildItem], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

Becomes:

((Get-ChildItem "c:\test -Directory").GetAccessControl('Access')).Access

Yeah my mistake, look at the answer above mine, quick read-through I did I didn't realize you were running into an issue of trying to run newer Powershell commands in an older PS environment, the above answer answers this succinctly.

what i want to achieve is to set permissions to multiple folders on a shared network drive. The drive has folders with the id of users which is the logon name. Is there any working script that can get this done

I'd propose this since it requires more than just simple scripting.
