I have a PowerShell script that compare the folders/files between a DFS folders and a local folder and do robocopy mirror when there are discrepancies.
The dfs path is \domain\global\foldername
However, when I test run the powershell script. It gives error at the step get-childitem with an error "cannot find path "dfspath" because it does not exist"
I then copy the path and paste in the file explorer in the same computer, although took a few seconds, the folder can be accessed displaying all contents.
What weird is, after I manually access the DFS folder, I immediately go back and execute the script, now it runs without any problems.
After a while, the error appens again, and I can use the same manually step to work around that.
Any idea?
