Hello all,

to export DFS-namespaces the tool dfsutil can be used.

Here is an simple example herefore.

$DFSRoots = (Get-DFSNRoot).Path
$Date = Get-Date -Format yyy-MM-dd
ForEach ($Root in $DFSRoots)
    { 
       dfsutil root export $($Root) $("D:\DFSBCK-$Root-$Date.xml")
    }

Hello all,

here i have an example which shows how to get the desktop content from many computers.
A nice feature here is that it gets the desktops of the signed on users. So you won´t grab unnecessary contents.

$Computers = 'localhost'

foreach ($Computer in $Computers){

    #Gets the logged on user
    $User = Get-WmiObject win32_logonsession -ComputerName $Computer -Filter "Logontype = '2' or Logontype='11' or logontype='10'" |
                foreach {Get-WmiObject win32_loggedonuser -ComputerName $Computer -filter "Dependent = '\\\\.\\root\\cimv2:Win32_LogonSession.LogonId=`"$($_.logonid)`"'" | select Antecedent } |
                foreach { ($_.antecedent.split('"'))[1] + "\" + ($_.antecedent.split('"'))[3] } | Where-Object{$_ -notlike "*DWM*"} | select -unique

    #Catches Domain name
    if ($user -like "*\*")
    {
        $user = $user.Split('\')[-1]
    }

    $searchPath="\\$Computer\C$\Users\$User\Desktop\"
    Get-ChildItem -Path $searchPath -Recurse
}

This logic can also be modified easily for other purposes.

Have fun with it!

Hello all,

the following code shows how to gather the actual logged on user. This snippet can be integradted easily in other scripts.

Get-WmiObject win32_logonsession -ComputerName $comp -Filter "Logontype = '2' or Logontype='11' or logontype='10'" |
foreach {Get-WmiObject win32_loggedonuser -ComputerName $comp -filter "Dependent = '\\\\.\\root\\cimv2:Win32_LogonSession.LogonId=`"$($_.logonid)`"'" | select Antecedent } |
foreach { ($_.antecedent.split('"'))[1] + "\" + ($_.antecedent.split('"'))[3] } |  Where-Object{$_ -notlike "*DWM*"} | select -unique
