File and folder count - powershell

Question

There is a folder on the remote server which has various subfolders in it. It is completely nested. I would like to:
Prepare an HTML report which contains folder name.
For every folder it should also record the file count.
The code needs to append the HTML file which is already created.
Columns required: Folder name, Folder Path, File Count
Below is the code snippet which is part of my main script. I am fairly new to PowerShell.
Can some one please help?
$server_dir = "D:\Data\Inbox"
$does_dir_e = (Test-Path $server_dir)
if($does_dir_e)
{
$fso = New-Object -com "Scripting.FileSystemObject"
$f = $fso.GetFolder($server_dir)
foreach($folder in $f.subfolders)
{
$fcount = $((Get-ChildItem $folder.Path).count)
$fname = $folder.name | Convertto-HTML -Fragment >> C:\Temp\Server.html
}
}

Answer 1

You don't actually say what isn't working for you, but the following script should get you started.
The outer loop recurses through the folders (PSIsContainer) means it is a folder.
The inner loop counts the number of files in each folder using measure-object, we filter out folders from this count to give us just the file count.
$path = "D:\Data\Inbox"
# Enumerate the given path recursively
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer} | %{
# Add a user-defined custom member with a value of the filecount this
# time not recursively (using measure object)
$_ | add-member -membertype noteproperty -name FileCount -value (Get-ChildItem -Path $_.Fullname |
Where-Object {!$_.PSIsContainer} |
Measure-Object).Count
# Output the required values
$_ | select Name, FullName, FileCount | ConvertTo-Html -Fragment
}

Is this what you want? I haven't used the HTML cmdlet before, so be aware it's ugly : )
$server_dir = 'D:\Data\Inbox'
if(Test-Path $server_dir)
{
$folders = Get-ChildItem $server_dir -Recurse | where {$_.PSIsContainer}
$output = #()
foreach($folder in $folders)
{
$fname = $folder.Name
$fpath = $folder.FullName
$fcount = Get-ChildItem $fpath | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | Measure-Object | Select-Object -Expand Count
$obj = New-Object psobject -Property #{FolderName = $fname; FolderPath = $fpath; FileCount = $fcount}
$output += $obj
}
#Output to HTML
$output | ConvertTo-Html -Fragment >> 'C:\Temp\Server.html'
}
