copy-item-move-item or remove-item server\fileshare access denied
I am trying a lot of things to get the following working: We have a fileshares of which the structure is like: \\server\$nameshare (for example: \\test\username where username is a folder) Regurlarly we must delete these fileshares so i would like to do this with powershell. Accually there are 2 of those shares but if above is succeeding i will try that with another share. The problem is i have tried to copy the sharefolder with all of its contents to another networkshare and then remove-item the original foldershare. Then getting a access denied. Tried to move-item the folder, access denied THen tried to delete the folder with cmd in powershell but cmd is not accepting the variable $name for the foldersharename which i start the script with. I have started Powershell as an admin so have enough rights, ik also came accross the fact that many people have this and must first take ownership of the folder? param ($naam) if ($naam -eq $null){ $naam = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter user logon name" } get-aduser $name Set-ADUser $name ......... Copy-Item \\server\$name \\server\sharename\username\ -Recurse -force #cmd /c 'rd /s /q \\server\$naam' (this one does not accept $name Also tried it without -force. And tried first the deletion of all files but keep geting access denied. Is it possible to do first a enter-pssession to the server and then get-childitem | remote-item? but to automate the pssession automaticcaly fill in the server\sharename like i also fill in the username or something like that
