#separate each process by 500ms to avoid any possible file access conflicts It takes a little PowerShell sleight of hand to pass this hashtable, but I can create the first job. I can define a hashtable of parameters to splat to Copy-Item. 28th from 10-11am PST.Īnother approach is to use background jobs. Our next episode, “Polaris Inc., and Microsoft Teams- Reinventing how we work and play” will be airing on Oct. You can watch any episode at your convenience, find resources, blogs, reviews of accessories certified for Teams, bonus clips, and information regarding upcoming live broadcasts. Stephen & his guests comprised of customers, partners, and real-world experts share best practices of planning, deploying, adopting, managing, and securing Teams. “Inside Microsoft Teams” is a webcast series, now in Season 4 for IT pros hosted by Microsoft Product Manager, Stephen Rose. This sequential approach works nicely if the file sets are small, as files can’t get copied to the second destination until they are copied to the first. Technically the files in $destB are copies of the files in $destA.
As files are copied, they are copied again to the second destination. txt files from C:\work to the first destination. In this one-line command, I am copying all the. dir c:\work\*.txt | copy-item -Destination $destA -PassThru | copy -dest $destB -PassThruĬopy-Item by default doesn’t write anything to the pipeline unless you use –Passthru. One very easy approach is to simply pass the results of the first copy operation to another. Plus, I may experience a scenario in the future where I need to do this without the GUI.įor the sake of my demonstration, I’m going to define two different destinations. I’m in PowerShell all the time so if I can get this to work, it will probably be faster than using the GUI. As a result, I set out to see what I could do with PowerShell. This process seems like a lot of work, and I feel there has to be a more efficient way. Yes, I could wait for the first copy command to finish, hit the up arrow to get the last command, modify it, and copy again. On occasion, I find myself needing to copy the same files to multiple locations. Most of the time, I need to copy files to another directory or location. During the course of my work week, I often need to backup files.
