windows - Get-Acl does not seem to work on UNC path? -

i have difficulty getting get-acl work on unc path share permissions of directory , underlying files , directories.

the code use looks this:

$outfile = "c:\users\xxxx\desktop\permissions.csv" $header = "folder path,identityreference,accesscontroltype,isinherited,inheritanceflags,propagationflags,filesystemrights" del $outfile add-content -value $header -path $outfile   $rootpath = "\\intranet\sites\folder1\folder2\target-folder-as-root"  $folders = dir $rootpath -recurse  #| {$_.psiscontainer -eq $true}-recurse  foreach ($folder in $folders) {     $acls = get-acl $folder.fullname | foreach-object { $_.access }     foreach ($acl in $acls) {         $outinfo = $folder.fullname + "," + $acl.identityreference  + "," +                    $acl.accesscontroltype + "," + $acl.isinherited + "," +                    $acl.inheritanceflags + "," + $acl.propagationflags + "," +                    $acl.filesystemrights         add-content -value $outinfo -path $outfile     } } 

not taking account filename size limit issue might cause, following error:

get-acl : method failed unexpected error code 1. @ c:\users\xxxx\documents\ntfs_permissions.ps1:12 char:10 +     $acls = get-acl $folder.fullname | foreach-object { $_.access } +             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : notspecified: (:) [get-acl], invalidoperationexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : system.invalidoperationexception,microsoft.powershell.commands.getaclcommand

i find documentation on listing shared permissions on shared drive using unc path (i don't want list permissions starting root, starting subfolder) limited.

try use: $acls = (get-acl $folder.fullname).access

instead of: $acls = get-acl $folder.fullname | foreach-object { $_.access }
