#This script uses the .NET FileSystemWatcher class to monitor file events in folder(s).
|
||
#The advantage of this method over using WMI eventing is that this can monitor sub-folders.
|
||
#The -Action parameter can contain any valid Powershell commands. I have just included two for example.
|
||
#The script can be set to a wildcard filter, and IncludeSubdirectories can be changed to $true.
|
||
#You need not subscribe to all three types of event. All three are shown for example.
|
||
# Version 1.1
|
||
|
||
$folder = 'c:\scripts\test' # Enter the root path you want to monitor.
|
||
$filter = '*.*' # You can enter a wildcard filter here.
|
||
|
||
# In the following line, you can change 'IncludeSubdirectories to $true if required.
|
||
$fsw = New-Object IO.FileSystemWatcher $folder, $filter -Property @{IncludeSubdirectories = $false;NotifyFilter = [IO.NotifyFilters]'FileName, LastWrite'}
|
||
|
||
# Here, all three events are registerd. You need only subscribe to events that you need:
|
||
|
||
Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Created -SourceIdentifier FileCreated -Action {
|
||
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
|
||
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
|
||
$timeStamp = $Event.TimeGenerated
|
||
Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore green
|
||
Out-File -FilePath c:\scripts\filechange\outlog.txt -Append -InputObject "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp"}
|
||
|

Register-ObjectEvent $fsw Deleted -SourceIdentifier FileDeleted -Action {
|
||
$name = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Name
|
||
$changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType
|
||
$timeStamp = $Event.TimeGenerated
|
||
Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore red
|

Out-File -FilePath c:\scripts\filechange\outlog.txt -Append -InputObject "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp"}

Write-Host "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp" -fore white
|
||
Out-File -FilePath c:\scripts\filechange\outlog.txt -Append -InputObject "The file '$name' was $changeType at $timeStamp"}
|
||
|
||
# To stop the monitoring, run the following commands:
|
||
# Unregister-Event FileDeleted
|
||
# Unregister-Event FileCreated
|

# Unregister-Event FileChanged |
