Oops, tested the previous script on a samba server. For some reason, testing the script on a Windows 2008 R2 domain resulted in an exception. So here´s the new script.
Check will output warnings in red to your screen, all the rest of the data will go to the logfile.
For best results, export to a .csv and open in excel. Then sort the first column.
Calling the script:
path_depth_analysis "G:mydirectory" >c:output.csv
The script:
function path_depth_analysis( $path )
{
$items = get-childitem $path
if (!($items.count) -eq 0)
{
foreach ($item in $items)
{
[int]$length_path = $path.length
[int]$length_item = $item.name.length
[int]$total_length = $length_path + $length_item
if ($total_length -gt 240)
{
$item_name = $item.name
write-host "! - $total_length - $path -> $item_name" -foreground RED
}
[string]$fullname = $item.FullName
[string]$type = $item.GetType().Name
if ($type -eq "FileInfo")
{
echo "$total_length;file;$fullname"
}
else
{
echo "$total_length;dir;$fullname"
path_depth_analysis "$fullname"
}
}
}
}
