Getting a complete list of long UNC paths

Hello,
Been looking left and right for an easy to way to do this but I've come up empty handed.
I have about 4TB of data on a file server and I need to have a complete list of all UNC paths that are >255 characters.
I had a simple batch file (dir /s /b "W:\" 1>nul 2>C:\Error-W.txt)that seemed to work but it's definitely not picking up all the paths. Any idea how to do this in Powershell ? I'm thinkin just browsing through the files and folder structure and logging
every "path not found" error, but this kind of error handling is beyond my current knowledge. Besides, there might be a better and easy way.

Code:
$path = "\\RCBPARS0799\G$\"
$filename = "C:\temp\LongUNC-G.txt"
gci $path -recurse -force | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -AND $_.name.length -gt 255} | select fullname | out-file $filename -append
Error:
Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name or both are too long. The fully qualidifed file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
At C:\Temp\LongUNC.ps1:10 char:4
+gci <<<< $path -recurse -force | ? {$_.PSIsContainer -AND $_.name.length -gt 255} | select fullname | out-file $filename -append
+CategoryInfo : ReadError :(\\RCBPARS0799\G...chapitre 1)\old:String) [Get-Childitem], PathTooLongException
+FullyQualifiedErrorId: DirIOError,Microsoft.Powershell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand
Error pops up for every long path.

  • When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to dropdown in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

    When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to drop down in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. The 'Folder:' bar has 'Bookmarks Menu' showing. The arrow on the bar drops down 5 recent folders to which pages have been saved, but the pop down arrow to the right of the bar just opens to show the three categories and 'New Folder' button. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

    To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

  • Best place to get a complete list of Cisco Product IDs

    I'm tyring to find one place to get a complete list of Cisco product IDs-
    I woud like the list to include hardware and software products like LMS, WCS, NCS, Prime Infrastructure, CNR, etc

    it can be frustrating having to jump all over to find a product ID when there's surely/hopefully 1 cental local that has a complete list.
    LOL!  I'm sure it can be.
    I would go to the Cisco Download main page.  And here, you have two ways of determining it.  You can either scroll down the description list until you hit the last window which gives you the complete PID or you just type in a few characters.
    The downside to all of this are some small parts like, rack mounting kits, SFPs, NM/NME which are not found here.
    Sorry, I can't help you other than that.  Like I said, you should have more access since you are employed by Cisco and have access to behind-the-scene restrictred applications.

    Is there any way that we can get all the rooms list and access history?
    thanks & regards,

    Hi Deep,
    Please check the forum for such questions, before posting new one.
    There are answers available for same. I am just reproducing for your reference.
    Goto Content Administration -- Collaboration Content -- Room Administration -- Click on filter
    u get all the rooms created in that portal and u will get below options for Administration
    Lock or Unlock: Room members cannot enter a locked room
    Hide or Show: The room directory does not display hidden rooms
    Set Full Access or Reset Full Access: If you give the room owner full access, he or she can enter all pages in the room. Otherwise, only the page permissions for his or her room roles apply for the room owner.
    Change Owner: You can select all rooms that a user owns and assign them a new owner
    Delete: Before you delete a room, you can check its usage and temporarily lock or hide the room, if required.

  • We Need a Complete List of Activations

    Because the service is being shut off and you have not commented on whether or not old activations will still work, can you at least provide us a way to get a complete list of activations with customer info?
    This way, when we move to a new activation service, we can refund existing customers or give them free copies of the app with the new service.

    Same here. My app was recently published, and I stopped linking to the AIR page after I got the 'air marketplace is shutting down' notice. There are a couple of people who bought the app here, because some software information site apparently had made an entry about the app, still linking to the air market portal. I have tried withdrawing the app but nothing has happend yet. It is also not worth my time to fill out that huge stack of paperwork required for payments just to collect payment for a few sales.
    A list of buyers so that they won't be left in the dark without updates would be sensible.
    I would prefer you just refund them the money and direct them to the new location of the app. And hopefully the withdrawal goes into effect soon.

  • Where is the complete list of what does and doesn't get backed up on iOS?

    I found a webpage from Macworld pointing to Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support as giving a complete list of what does and does not get backed up in the iPhone backup.  This page must have changed since it no longer contains this information.  I am aware of the basics like text messages, voice memos, pictures you haven't synced from iTunes via iPhoto and Aperture, but I want the definitive complete list.
    As to the why, Apple support is telling me the only way to solve a bug in Messaging on my new iPhone 6 plus where photos are no longer displaying is to restore my phone and not restore the backup (this does work while testing).  I want to know what I am losing when I do this.  Of course I have all my photos already in iPhoto/Aperture, and I realize I have to give up all Text Message History apparently, but I want to check the exhaustive list.
    Thanks.

    Try this one. Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support

  • Excel 2007 to Excel 2010 - external references no longer work for UNC paths

    Hi all,
              a client has recently moved from Excel 2007 to Excel 2010 - and found that some spread sheets - which have references to other spread sheets, no longer update data correctly. The workbooks continue to
    work fine with Excel 2007.
    The locations are listed in trusted locations from GP - and if we copy the documents locally and update the links, it all works fine.
    Excel 2010 have all patches installed as of March 2014 and the spread sheets have also been tested with Excel 2013 (again, with all current patches) and exhibit the same issues.
    Changing the unc path to a drive letter also does not resolve the issue.
    An example of the lookup is
    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP([@[ Cust No.]],\\server\share\February.2014.xlsx!Table1[#All],9,0)),0,VLOOKUP([@[ Cust No.]],
    \\server\share\February.2014.xlsx!Table1[#All],9,0))

    Maybe you could try to use the range reference instead of Table in excel 2010.
    e.g.
    =VLOOKUP(H5,'\\server name\share folder\[2014.xlsx]Sheet1'!$H$15:$M$25,2,0)
    If it doesn't help ,on the Data tab, click Edit Links in the Connections group. And then click 'Check Status' .
    What's the status of this link? If it is 'Error: Worksheet not found' . you can try to click the 'open source' to update the data.

  • I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox.  Is there no other solution?

    I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the latest Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox.  Is there no other solution?

    I would feel dreadful If I thought had caused you a problem.   The warnings about Java are fully justified but providing you are communicating with a known source, and as I said, you disable it the moment you have finished, you should be safe.
    It might also be worth asking your bank what problem they have and would it be the same if you were using Firefox, for example.
    Like you, I am very security minded, in fact I won't even put my bank details on my Mac let alone run my account that way.

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

  • How to get the list of long running queries

    hi,
         my requirement is to get the list of long running queries in bi and also what are the steps to reduce running time of quires.
    thanks.

    Hi Venkat,
    The statistics information will give you time the query takes while opening it
    For Eg,with BEx Analyzer,you have an option in Global Settings->Display Statistics.
    If you open a query from backend in Analyzer,and then click "Display Statistics",it will show the amount of time it takes to load it.
    Other than this there might be some tcodes available to read this value.

  • Missing Photographs - 5,000 in total - is there a programmatic way to get the complete file paths missing?

    HostOS : Mac OS X
    LightRoom version : 4.4
    I accidentally moved linked files over the past few years, and just discovered (via "Missing Photos" view) that I have 5,000 missing photos.
    I know the master photos are on my hard disk drive ... so, that is the good news.
    BUT I do not want to have to click to re-link all 5,000 missing photos one at a time.
    Is there a way to programmatically get the list of file paths of those 5,000 missing photos on my MacOSX system  -- so that I can write an AppleScript to extract the unique image file name from the full file path extracted from LightRoom, locate the image in Finder, and move it back to the expected file path where Lightroom expects to find it?

    If most of your reorganization consisted of moving whole folders rather than individual pics,  you can quickly relink entire folders, or even folders of folders, rather than individual pics.  In the Folders pane on the left, right-click the missing folder and select Find Missing Folder.
    If you moved individual files rather than entire folders, then to get a list of the file paths of all the missing files, first do Library > Find All Missing Photos. Then use the ListView plugin to get a list of the photos' file paths into a text file.
