Hi,

You can try this script .

$RootFolder = "E:\Profiles"
$paths = Get-ChildItem $RootFolder   
$FolderList =@()
Foreach ( $path in $paths)
{


$colItems = (Get-ChildItem $path.Fullname -Recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum)
 $Folders = "" | Select "Folderpath","SizeinMB"
 $Folders.Folderpath = $path.Fullname
 $Folders.SizeinMB = $colItems.sum / 1MB
 $FolderList+= $Folders
 $Folders = $null

}

$FolderList | Export-csv c:\foldersize.csv -NoTypeInformation

Thank You .. It's work . Is it possible to get folder size details for specific folder name? Because the users profiles folders are defined in same folder name EX: profile1,2,3.. ..

And one more information -- The profiles are configured in AD, Can we write the script to connect AD profile tab and get the profile path folder sizes for all users?
