Powershell to count files (inc inside zip)

[penfold]

Hi, We have an issue where our Antivirus scanning is taking too long and I need to count ALL files on a server. I think the problem is the AV is scanning inside of zip files and that the scan is just taking a long time because there are a lot of these files. Problem is we are having complaints because when someone checks the files on the client it doesn't match what our AV is scanning. I want to cound ALL files including inside of ZIP files to see if I can see how many files are really there.

 

I don't need anything fancy just a complete count for files. Ideally it would have a breakdown of folders also - but for the time being I am just trying to prove that the file totals being scanned is accurate. I used:

Get-ChildItem $Server -r | Measure-Object -property Length -sum | select -property Count &

Get-ChildItem $Server -Recurse | Measure-Object | %{$_.Count} as a way of getting file count which is fine. Both count files but neither search inside of zip files. Is this possible via powershell?
