Images not moving from one UNC to another UNC - powershell

Question

I would add this to my other post, but I can't find it. I have been trying to copy images (JPG and JPEG) from one UNC (source) to two UNCs (destinations) that are three days old. I only need to copy the images, not the folders they are contained in.
I do not get any errors, the email received from the script tells me no images were copied. The destinations do not have any images copied to them and there are images in the source that are newer than three days from todays date. I am completely lost. I have been on Google all day trying to figure this out to no avail so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
$ImageLocation = "\\vdifiles\Print-Room\FileSrv\Barcode-Order"
$TestSite = "\\10.0.100.3\www2.varietydistributors.com\catalog\newpictures"
$LiveSite = "\\10.0.100.3\Variety Distributors.com\catalog\newpictures"
$WhenFileWritten = (get-date).AddDays(-3)
$IncludeFileTypes = "*.jpeg,*.jpg"
$LogFile = "C:\Temp\FilesCopied.log"
$EmailServer = "emailserver.me.com"
$EmailFrom = "fromme#me.com"
$AuthUser = "user"
$AuthPass = "pass"
$XHeaderInfo = "X-Header: This email was sent from Laservault."
$EmailTo = "tome#me.com"
$EmailSubject = "Barcode Images Summary."
$EmailBodySent = "Attached to this email is a log file of what images were copied from $ImageLocation to $TestSite and $LiveSite as well as sent to AS2 to send over to Order Stream."
$EmailBodyNotSent = "There were no files in $ImageLocation that matched $WhenFileWritten days old. So, nothing was sent to $TestSite, $LiveSite or AS2."
$TheImages = get-childitem "Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::$ImageLocation" -recurse | where-object {$_.Extension -eq $IncludeFileTypes -and $_.LastWriteTime -gt $WhenFileWritten -and $_.PsIsContainer -eq $false}
foreach ($Images in $TheImages) {
$FileCount = $Images.count
if ($FileCount -gt 0) {
copy-item -path $Images.FullName -destination "Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::$TestSite" -force
copy-item -path $Images.FullName -destination "Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::$LiveSite" -force
write-host "$FileCount files were copied."
write-output $Images >> $LogFile
\\vdifiles\blat$\blat.exe -attach $LogFile -to $EmailTo -s $EmailSubject -i $EmailFrom -body $EmailBodySent -server $EmailServer -u $AuthUser -pw $AuthPass -f $EmailFrom -x $XHeaderInfo
remove-item $LogFile
} else {
\\vdifiles\blat$\blat.exe -to $EmailTo -s $EmailSubject -i $EmailFrom -body $EmailBodyNotSent -server $EmailServer -u $AuthUser -pw $AuthPass -f $EmailFrom -x $XHeaderInfo
}
}

Answer 1

Your original post: Copy-Item : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null
I copied my answer from there here:
The issue is with the Get-ChildItem not returning anything. It's a small problem because of the -include and -exclude parameters you are feeding into it. You are defining the variable like this:
$IncludeFileTypes = "*.jpeg,*.jpg"
$ExcludeFileTypes = "*.psd,*.tif,*.pdf"
The problem is that the -include and -exclude parameters are expecting a string array (String[]) what you are giving them is a straight string.
We can prove this, if you create a file with the name "a.jpeg,a.jpg", the get-childitem cmdlt will return the file.
The solution is to change your $IncludeFileTypes and $ExcludeFileTypes variables to a string array, and it should return the results that you are expecting:
$IncludeFileTypes = "*.jpeg","*.jpg"
$ExcludeFileTypes = "*.psd","*.tif","*.pdf"

Answer 2

The where-object is not finding any match for any files.
Amend $IncludeFileTypes = "*.jpeg,*.jpg" to $IncludeFileTypes = #("*.jpeg","*.jpg")
Then pass that array of file types into the get-childitem command using the -include Parameter (-filter only takes one filetype, as a string) and remove the $_.Extension check from the where-object command.
e.g.
$TheImages = get-childitem "Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::$ImageLocation" -recurse -include $IncludeFileTypes | where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $WhenFileWritten -and $_.PsIsContainer -eq $false}
You are also checking the count of the wrong variable to get your file count, and it shouldn't be inside the foreach loop.
Get the file count, then if it's greater than zero, iterate through the list if files, copying them.
Try:
$FileCount = $TheImages.count
if ($FileCount -gt 0) {
foreach ($Images in $TheImages) {
And also
write-output $TheImages >> $LogFile
Instead of
write-output $Images >> $LogFile

Answer 3

You are declaring the list wrong, it should be like this:
$IncludeFileTypes = #("*.jpeg","*.jpg")
Try searching with the -Include like this:
$TheImages = get-childitem "Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::$ImageLocation" -recurse -Include $IncludeFileTypes | where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -gt $WhenFileWritten -and $_.PsIsContainer -eq $false}
And check if the variable is empty after that:
if($TheImages -ne $null)
{
#move...
#send email...
#etc
}
Hope this solves your issue.
