I need to use a PowerShell script to scan through a large amount of files and folders for certain security permissions. The issue is that it seems that the "Get-ChildItem" function insists on shoving the whole folder and file structure in memory. Since the drive has over a million files in over 30,000 folders, the script runs for 30 minutes, then throws out a System.OutofMemoryException without doing anything else. [more inside]
