DESCRIPTION

Use the Compare-WINUserDrive cmdlet to compare a user drive in a Windows filesystem to a user drive in another tenant or consumer account.

This cmdlet uses an interactive, browser-based authentication flow and is most commonly used when you do not have administrative credentials (e.g., consumer accounts).

See the Examples section for cmdlet requirements.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Compare Windows filesystem drive to Google consumer drive

Description

This example compares a Windows filesystem drive to a Google consumer drive.

Tenant configuration

No tenant configuration is required.

TMCTools

@{
  Source = @{}
  Target = @{}
}

Compare-WINUserDrive -Target Google -SourceId 'C:\Drives\user@source.org'

Example 2: Compare Windows filesystem drive to Microsoft consumer drive

Description

This example compares a Windows filesystem drive to a Microsoft consumer drive.

Additional parameters change the basic functionality shown in Example 1:

• Using -SourceFolder and -TargetFolder restricts the operation to the Migration folder.

• Using -OneWay means the comparison will only take into account discrepancies in the target, which is useful for migration scenarios, when you only want to ensure that everything that was in the source now also exists in the target.

Tenant configuration

No tenant configuration is required.

TMCTools

@{
  Source = @{}
  Target = @{}
}

Compare-WINUserDrive -Target M365 -SourceId 'C:\Drives\user@source.org' -SourceFolder 'Migration' -TargetFolder 'Migration' -OneWay

Example 3: Compare Windows filesystem drive to Microsoft 365 tenant drive

Description

This example compares a Windows filesystem drive to a Microsoft 365 tenant drive.

Tenant configuration

No tenant configuration is required.

TMCTools

@{
  Source = @{}
  Target = @{
    M365Tenant = 'target.org'
  }
}

Compare-WINUserDrive -Target M365 -SourceId 'C:\Drives\user@source.org'

Example 4: Compare Windows filesystem drive to Windows filesystem drive

Description

This example compares a Windows filesystem drive to a Windows filesystem drive.

Note that, unlike with other targets, the Windows target takes the full path to a local drive via the -TargetId parameter.

Tenant configuration

No tenant configuration is required.

TMCTools

@{
  Source = @{}
  Target = @{}
}

Compare-WINUserDrive -Target Windows -SourceId 'C:\Drives\user@source.org' -TargetId 'C:\Drives\user@target.org'

PARAMETERS

-IncludePattern

A matching pattern to determine which folders and files to include. See https://rclone.org/filtering/ for syntax details.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-NoCache

Refresh tokens obtained from a prior authentication will be used by default. If you are running different tools that require different permissions or want to log in as a different user, use the -NoCache option to bypass an existing refresh token.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-OneWay

All regular files in the source and target are included by default. Use -OneWay to restrict files to the source only. This is useful when migrating data, when you only care that files from the source are migrated to the target and do not want to consider pre-existing target files.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SharedWithMe

Shared with me files are omitted by default. Use -SharedWithMe to include them. Note that this option means that only Shared with me files are considered.

This option only applies to Google Workspace.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ShowPrereqs

Prints the cmdlet prerequisites.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Help
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SkipUnowned

Files the user does not own are included by default. Use -SkipUnowned to exclude them.

This option only applies to Google Workspace.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SourceFolder

Restrict the source-side listing to the specified folder.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-SourceId

The full path to a local drive. For example, C:\Drives\user@source.org.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-TargetFolder

Restrict the target-side listing to the specified folder.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: Action
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named

Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-TargetId

The full path to a local drive. For example, C:\Drives\user@target.org.

NOTES

• Transend apps are used to generate tokens and are subject to shared throttling. If you can create apps in the source and target tenants, consider using Compare-WINUserDrives instead.
