Powershell script launched from logon script not working - powershell

Question

I'm trying to create a powershell script that searches a users C drive for a certain file extension, and then writes a file to a network share if it finds one. The script is launched from the last line of a logon script that reads like this:
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -windowstyle hidden -file "\\servername\Path\To\File.ps1"
And my powershell script looks like this:
$hostname = HostName
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction
SilentlyContinue | Out-File \\servername\Path\To\Results\$hostname\file.txt
If ((Get-Content "\\servername\Path\To\Results\$hostname\file.txt") -eq $Null) {
Remove-Item \\servername\Path\To\Results\$hostname\file.txt
}
Exit
The script runs perfectly fine on my machine even when I load it from the network share but whenever another computer runs it, it never produces an Out File. And I don't think it is even searching.
What am I doing wrong? I thought it was execution policy, but I've set the logon script to bypass it. I don't understand why it isn't working.
[edit]
I've now got the script working sometimes on Windows 10 machines. But it doesn't work at all on Windows 7. I've even tried running
Get-ChildItem C:\*.pst -Recurse
directly from a powershell command prompt, and it just fails silently and doesn't search for anything. Isn't Get-ChildItem a powershell 1 command?

Hello. If you do like this: Get-ChildItem -Path C:*.* -Filter $file
-Recurse -Force the text file output will be enough to weigh.
You can try to check the access to the network folder for the current
user:if access explicitly set, and write access exists, then you can
record a file with the content. Otherwise, it can create folder test
on the local machine which will create the file, indicating that there
is no access. How is this way:
Set-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force| Out-Null
$user = [System.Environment]::UserName
$hostname = [System.Environment]::MachineName
try {
$accs = Get-ACL -Path "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\"
foreach ($access in $accs) {
$obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
Access = $accs.Access
}
$obj1 = $obj | select -ExpandProperty Access
for ($i = 0 ; $i -le $obj1.Count ; $i ++ )
{
if (!($obj1[$i].IdentityReference -like "*Users*" -or $obj1[$i].IdentityReference -like "*$user*")) {
if (!(Test-Path "c:\test")) {
md c:\test
$s = "user access from group"
$s | out-file C:\test\ErrInfo.csv
}
else {
$s = "user access from group"
$s | out-file C:\test\ErrInfo.csv
}
}
if ($obj1[$i].IdentityReference -like "*Users*" -or $obj1[$i].IdentityReference -like "*$user*") {
if ($obj1[$i].FileSystemRights -like "*ReadAndExecute*")
{
if (!(Test-Path "c:\test")) {
md c:\test
$s = "Premission only ReadAndExecute"
$s | out-file C:\test\ErrInfo_rex.csv
}
else {
$s = "Premission only ReadAndExecute"
$s | out-file C:\test\ErrInfo_rex.csv
}
}
if ($obj1[$i].FileSystemRights -like "*FullControl*" -and $obj1[$i].AccessControlType -like "*Allow*" -or $obj1[$i].FileSystemRights -like "*Modify*" -and $obj1[$i].AccessControlType -like "*Allow*")
{
if (!(Test-Path "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname"))
{
md "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname"
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\testpatch\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-File "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname\file.txt"
}
else {
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\testpatch\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-File "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname\file.txt"
}
}
}
}
}
}
catch {
if (!(Test-Path "c:\test")) {
md c:\test
$s = "--NoAccess--"
$s | out-file C:\test\ErrInfo_noaccess.csv
}
else {
$s = "--NoAccess--"
$s | out-file C:\test\ErrInfo_noaccess.csv
}
}
Or you can do something like this (whiteout EXIT):
Set-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force| Out-Null
$hostname = [System.Environment]::MachineName
if (!(Test-Path "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname")) {
md "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname" | Out-Null
If ((Get-ChildItem -Path C:\test\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Count -ne "0") {
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\test\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-File "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname\file.txt"
}
}
elseif (Test-Path "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname") {
If ((Get-ChildItem -Path C:\test\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Count -ne "0") {
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\test\*.* -Filter $file -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-File "\\server\sharedfolder\Results\$hostname\file.txt"
}
}
