Powershell - Get a list of files > 4GB, all volumes

Doc_McJust — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 17:51:58 GMT

I am trying to create a powershell script that will give me a list of every file in our cluster that is greater than 4GB.

The script must include file path information and output to a .txt file.

So far, I only have the bones of a script and I've been testing it on my work PC.

The final version will likely have to be run on the domain controller, but I am not sure how to build the script from the context of the DC.

$path = "C:\Users\LJONAH"
$sizeThreshold = 10
$outputPath = "C:\temp\OIS_large_files.txt"
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -File -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
Where-Object {$_.Length / 1MB -gt $sizeThreshold}| Select-Object FullName, @{Name="Size GB";Expression={ "{0:N0}" -f ($_.Length / 1GB) }} | Out-File -FilePath $outputPath

Using the NetApp API:

function Read-NetAppVolDir { <# .SYNOPSIS NetApp Directory Listing .Description This is a helper script to make reading folder contents in NetApp volumes more intuitive. .Outputs DataONTAP.C.Types.File.FileInfo #> param( [parameter(mandatory)] [string]$Volume, [string[]]$SubFolder, [switch]$Recurse ) if ($SubFolder) { foreach ($sub in $SubFolder) { Get-NcVol $Volume | Get-Ncfile | Foreach-Object { "`n Directory: $($_.Path)/$sub/" $files=$_ | Read-NcDirectory ("$($_.Path)"+'/'+$sub) if ($Recurse) { $files | Where-Object Name -notlike '[.]*' $files | Where-Object { $_.Type -eq 'directory' -and $_.Name -notlike '[.]*' } | Foreach-Object { Read-NetAppVolDir $Volume "$sub/$($_.Name)" -Recurse } } else { $files } } } } else { Get-NcVol $Volume | Foreach-Object { "`n Directory: $($_.JunctionPath)/" $files=$_ | Read-NcDirectory if ($Recurse) { $files | Where-Object Name -notlike '[.]*' $files | Where-Object { $_.Type -eq 'directory' -and $_.Name -notlike '[.]*' } | Foreach-Object { Read-NetAppVolDir $Volume $_.Name -Recurse } } else { $files } } } } Get-NcVol | % { Read-NetAppVolDir $_.Name -Recurse } | ? Size -gt 4gb
