Hi All,

If you want to search large files in the folders or network locations, below is the PowerShell code.

workflow DirectoryCheck {

param([string[]]$FileShares,[int] $days ,[int] $sizeinMB)

$t=(get-date).adddays(-$days)

foreach –parallel -throttlelimit $fileshare.count ($Fileshare in $FileShares)

{

$DirArr = @()

$DirArr = Get-ChildItem -Path $Fileshare -Recurse -Directory | ? {$_.lastwritetime -ge $t }

foreach –parallel -throttlelimit 50 ($dir in $DirArr)

{

Get-ChildItem -Path $dir.FullName -File | ?{ $_.Length/1MB -ge $sizeinMB}| sort Length -desc | select Name,fullname, length, lastwritetime -First 100 -ExcludeProperty PSSourceJobInstanceId,PSComputerName

}

}

}

directorycheck -FileShares "C:\work\","D:\work" -days 800 -sizeinMB 1 |Out-GridView

get-childitem works really slowly if you have network locations to check. Below is the more information on that

I will post one more optimized script in upcoming posts.
