PowerShell Script to Mapped Drive

[jstevens]

I'm having a challenge with this bit of code: $files = Get-ChildItem -Path 'S:\myFiles' -Include.

PowerShell errors and tells me that there is no S drive. The drive letter is mapped properly. If I change the path to "C:\myFiles' the code processes correctly.

Your suggestions are appreciate.

Apparently running PowerShell as an Administrator doesn't allow one to access mapped drives due to permissions.

Mapped drives are per user so normally you need to be in the userid for the mapped drive to see them. To change this see Enable mapped drives in an elevated command prompt. The tutorial says for Windows 10 so may not work with Windows 11.

Thanks Joe!
