Any idea how to resolve this powershell error? - powershell

Question

Please forgive me on this one.
I am extremely new to power shell.
I posted a question here yesterday asking for any assisting with reading contents of iis log programmatically.
No response on that yet.
So, after painstaking googling, I found a Power Shell script that appears close to what I am looking for.
When I attempted to execute it, I got the following error:
Get-ChildItem : Cannot find path '\\servername\c$\windows\system32\logfiles\
W3SVC1' because it does not exist.
I am reasonably confident that this is more of a permission issue because the path exists.
Does anyone know how to add username and password to the script below?
Thanks a lot in advance.

)
Process {
$Path | ForEach-Object {
$FullPath = (Get-Item $_).FullName
$FileStream = New-Object IO.FileStream($FullPath, "Open", "Read", "ReadWrite")
$StreamReader = New-Object IO.StreamReader($FileStream)
For ($i = 0; $i -lt 4; $i++) {
$Line = $StreamReader.ReadLine()
If ($Line -Match '#Fields: ') {
$Header = ($Line -Replace '#Fields: ').Split(' ', [StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)
}
}
Do {
$Line = $StreamReader.ReadLine()
If ($Line -NotLike "#*") {
$Line | ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter ' ' -Header $Header
}
} Until ($StreamReader.EndOfStream)
}
}
}

ForEach-Object {
If (!$Output.Contains($_.DeviceId)) {
$Output.Add($_.DeviceId, $_)
} Else {
If ($_.FirstSync -lt $Output[$_.DeviceId].FirstSync) { $Output[$_.DeviceId].FirstSync = $_.FirstSync }
If ($_.LastSync -gt $Output[$_.DeviceId].LastSync) { $Output[$_.DeviceId].LastSync = $_.LastSync }
$Output[$_.DeviceId].SyncCount += 1
}
}
$Output.Values
This is a desperate attempt at resolving this as users are expecting a demo tomorrow.

Thank you good people for your assistance.
I found a better solution, one that I can manage better - LogParser:
