function Convert-PSDCLocalUncPathToLocalPath { <# .SYNOPSIS Convert a UNC path on a computer to a local path. .DESCRIPTION In some cases you want to convert a UNC path to a local path. This function will look up which path belongs to the UNC path by supplying only the UNC path .PARAMETER UncPath UNC path to convert to local path .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .NOTES Author: Sander Stad (@sqlstad, sqlstad.nl) Website: https://psdatabaseclone.org Copyright: (C) Sander Stad, sander@sqlstad.nl License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://psdatabaseclone.org/ .EXAMPLE Convert-PSDCLocalUncPathToLocalPath -UncPath "\\server1\share1" Convert path "\\server1\share1" to a local path from server1 #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string]$UncPath, [switch]$EnableException ) # Create the object try { $uri = New-Object System.Uri($UncPath) } catch { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Something went wrong converting the UncPath $UncPath to URI" -Target $UncPath -ErrorRecord $_ } # Check if the path is a valid UNC path if (-not $uri.IsUnc) { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "The path $UncPath is not a valid UNC path" -Target $UncPath } # Get the local shares from the coputer $localShares = Get-SmbShare # Split up the unc path $uncArray = $uri.AbsolutePath -split '/' # Check if the if (($uncArray.Length -lt 2) -or (-not $uncArray[1])) { Stop-PSFFunction -Message "Could not map un path $UncPath.
