I could also find the total size of each folder because what are the chances of having each folder having files adding up to the exact same size? Figure 3. The file names could be different and could be various sizes. One way I can do this is just ensuring the files in each folder are all Word documents and have the same number of them in each folder. I'll now copy the documents to get them in sync. Once I do this, you can see that $SourceDocs contains all of the files I'd like copied to C:\Documents2 but C:\Documents2 has no files in it at all. $DestDocs = Get-ChildItem –Path C:\Documents2
$SourceDocs = Get-ChildItem –Path C:\Documents1 An easy way to do this is to only use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet on each folder. To make a proper comparison, regardless of the method, we need to figure out the file names in each of the folders. In this article, I'll start with the easiest yet least precise method to comparing those CEO documents I described earlier. Each depends on just how certain you want to be. This can be done a couple different ways.
You have a requirement where you need to ensure that two folders containing a set of files are in sync.
Regardless of the fact this scenario will most likely never happen to you (although I've heard of crazier situations), the requirement does still pop up from time to time. Among other things, you're going to do everything you can to ensure the documents on the server are exactly the same as what's on his desktop. Will you leave anything to chance? Probably not. And you are the one in charge of copying these documents from the server to his desktop. These documents are what makes or breaks your entire company. He checks these documents every single day. Let's say you've got a PowerShell script that copies and relevant set of documents from a server to your CEO's desktop.
