Family, Cool Stuff and Assorted Geekery; the finer things in life. Updated when I have something interesting to write :)
Another quick one-liner I’ve just figured out. This will get the 20 largest folders in the mailbox sorted into descending order of size. There was a big gotcha I needed to figure out which I go into after the break.

I mentioned in the last part that you should be able to get the sizes of sub-folders within a folder with Measure-Object and Group-Object. So I had a bit of a tinker as an intellectual exercise and I worked up a one-liner that works. Ish. As I mentioned previously, this won’t automatically add the size of each sub-folder to the parent folder (so in the results you’d get C:\Source as 10 KB and C:\Source\Sub as 100 MB, for example).
Still, it was pretty interesting to hack it together. The command and a brief explanation follows.

Following on from the “What is Recursion?” post it’s time for a concrete example with PowerShell; a script to calculate the sizes of all sub-folders within a folder. The script (and description) follows.

Hi. I meant to go into this in a bit more detail after using it in some of my scripts. Recursion is a pretty interesting idea and it’s used quite a bit in scripting. I’ll describe it below and then I’ll jump into an example using PowerShell in the next post.
The final functions are done (in the last part) now it’s just the main body of the script. This will bring all the code together and produce the output we want. The full script can be found here.

In the last part we looked at the Get-FolderInformation function, which returns an object describing a folder so the user can tell if they want to process it or not. This part is going to focus on the Move-ArchiveObject function which will actually perform the archive (or return from archive) process on a chosen folder. The full script can be found here.
In this part we’ll start writing some Powershell. Initially we’ll write about the function call and function structure (see below). The full script can be found here. Continue reading “Powershell Archiving Script, Part 3”
