Recurse a limited amount of folders

Question

I have the following snippet of code from a script, used in order to get the NTFS permissions on file shares.

if ($ComputerName -eq '.'){
$Path = $Folder
}

else {
$Path = "\\$ComputerName\$Folder"
}ls

if ($OutputFile){
Get-Childitem $Path -Recurse:$Recurse | ForEach-Object {Get-Acl $_.FullName} | Select-Object @{Name="Path";Expression={$_.PSPath.Substring($_.PSPath.IndexOf(":")+2) }},@{Name="Type";Expression={$_.GetType()}},Owner -ExpandProperty Access | Export-CSV $OutputFile -NoTypeInformation
}

else{
Get-Childitem $Path -Recurse:$Recurse | ForEach-Object {Get-Acl $_.FullName} | Select-Object @{Name="Path";Expression={$_.PSPath.Substring($_.PSPath.IndexOf(":")+2) }},@{Name="Type";Expression={$_.GetType()}},Owner -ExpandProperty Access | Format-Table -AutoSize
}

At the moment when I run this I am able to generate a report on the NTFS permissions, however I would like to make the code recurse one extra folder deeper in a file share. My problem however is I only know of methods to completely recurse through all folders or get the current folders in a path.

For example assume I had a folder called 'test' and inside of test there were two other folders called 'temp1' and 'temp2', with there being one more folder inside of temp2 called 'extra.' I'd want it to get the NTFS permissions for 'test' and then go one level farther and report permissions for 'temp1' and 'temp2,' but I would not want it to get 'extra.'

EDIT:

if ($OutputFile){
gci c:\|%{if($_.PSIsContainer){GCI $_.FullName|get-acl};$_|get-acl}|Select-Object @{Name="Path";Expression={$_.PSPath.Substring($_.PSPath.IndexOf(":")+2) }},@{Name="Type";Expression={$_.GetType()}},Owner -ExpandProperty Access | sort PSParentPath|Export-CSV $OutputFile -NoType
}

Answer 1

You can manually recurse 1 level easily enough. Try this on for size:

if ($ComputerName -eq '.'){
$Path = $Folder
}

else {
$Path = "\\$ComputerName\$Folder"
}ls

if ($OutputFile){
gci c:\|%{if($_.PSIsContainer){GCI $_.FullName|get-acl};$_|get-acl}|sort PSParentPath|Export-CSV $OutputFile -NoType
}

else{
gci c:\|%{if($_.PSIsContainer){GCI $_.FullName|get-acl};$_|get-acl}|sort PSParentPath|FT -Auto
}

Answer 2

Something like this will go down to a depth of one folder

Get-Childitem $path  | %{get-childitem -path $_.fullname}
