This is my command on Windows 10:
PS C:\Users\me> Get-ChildItem -Path "\\sharename\path1\engineering" -Recurse > file_data.txt And this is my output:
Get-ChildItem : Could not find a part of the path '\\sharename\path1\engineering\Litigation Images\nsharma\A - Investments documents\Wall Street, finance and related\Education, conferences, and seminars\Back-office, fund accounting, related\AMF Workshop on Fails Management and Resolution_files'. At line:1 char:1 + Get-ChildItem -Path "\\sharename\path1\engineering" -R ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ReadError: (\\sharename\path1\...esolution_files:String) [Get-ChildItem], DirectoryNotFound Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DirIOError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand I can see in the output file file_data.txt that nothing was returned after the file/path that caused the error.
I want to retrieve all the possible files that won't error, I'll deal with the errors later. As it stands now, the searching stops at the first error.

Is it as simple as adding
-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue to the end of your line? I would have added this as a comment but I can't...
