    <p>I've been receiving errors when running the script. It will access the drive and write the filenames to my log as specified, but will not remove the files on the share drive due to a permissions error. I'm logged in as the Administrator and have re-wrote permissions to the whole drive, but still do not have access.</p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>$servers = Get-content "D:\Scripts\servers.txt" $logpath = "d$\Documents" $logFile = "D:\Scripts\log.txt" $Date = Get-Date $error.clear() foreach($server in $servers){ $fail =" $Date - Failed. $server did not respond to a ping command. No files have been deletedfrom $server." $notpresent = "$Date - Failed. The specified log folder doesn't seem to be present on $server." $nologs = "There are no log files to be deleted on $server." $UNCpath = "\\" +$server+ "\" +$logpath #Ping server to validate the server is online and accessible If ($server|?{ (gwmi Win32_PingStatus -Filter "Address='$_'").StatusCode -eq 0 }){ # The server IS pingable, but the folder does not exist.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
