执行GCI时出现System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Question

I have a script and am getting a System.UnauthorizedAccessException on this command:

gci "\\Media\\recorded tv\" -include *.* -Recurse

I can access the directory from Windows Explorer. When I run the script in PS, I get most of the files, but a few of those errors.

Things I tried: 1) Made sure execution policy was set from elevated (as admin) Powershell 2) Made sure ran PS as admin

If these files are for some reason not accessible, how can I find out which files are not accessible? Maybe they are hidden/system files?

Answer 1

It's possible that individual files/directories have different permissions. Check the security settings on the items Get-ChildItem writes errors about.
