Hi,

I am a new to power shell. I am going to thinking to write a script that as below:

Move Folders and its sub folders from one server to another server. The servers may be 2003 or 2008. I am using Power shell V2.

I write a script as below. Is it works or any thing I have to modify. If something wrong, please advice me for the below script.

1. First it will get SERVER NAME from Input Box.

2. Second it will get SOURCE Path and then DESTINATION Path from Input Box.

3. It will get User Name and Password from Get-Credential

cls
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.VisualBasic')
$sname = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter your Server Name", "Name", "$env:username")
$spath = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter your Source Path. Ex: \\servername\C$\Temp")
$dpath = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter your Destination Path. Ex: \\servername\D$\Temp")
$cred = Get-Credential
$tspath = Test-Path $spath
$tdpath = Test-Path $dpath
   if ($tspath -eq "TRUE")
   {
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $sname -ScriptBlock { Copy-Item $spath $dpath -Recurse -Force } -Credential $cred
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $sname -ScriptBlock {remove-Item -path $spath -Force } -Credential $cred
    }
   else
   {
        $a = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
        $b = $a.popup("Folder dose not exist",0,"Warning Message Box",1)
   }

Thanks, remoting is enabled and I will verify credssp is enabled as I am not positive about that.

Why would credssp be required for this script if the client computer and destination server are in the same domain and the account used to login and also to run the remote powershell session are both domain admin accounts?

I know credssp is for multi-hop authentication, but it didn't look like that was required in this configuration I am using.

Also, for the file copy portion, I have another script that just copies a file and that works fine being run exactly as I ran this. How does that work? That script is below and I've not had any issues with it.

Import-Csv c:\Scripts\servers.txt | foreach {

$server = $_.name

$location = "\c:\Temp"

Copy-Item "\\server\Applications\dotnet4\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" -Destination $location -Force -ErrorAction silentlyContinue | out-null

if(-not $?)

{

"ERROR: could not copy file(s) to: $server at $location"

}

} | out-file errors.txt
