I wanted to get file hash in folder mounted to nas, but, I think it works, nothing error happened, but no output generated.

PS C:\windows\system32> Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA512 -Path "\\mynas\something\folder\file.abc"

Hi 523311,

Is "\mynas\something\folder\file.abc" a directory path? Per my test, the cmdlet returns nothing when the path is a directory. You have to provide a file path to the "-Path" parameter.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue

Yes, I've already tried to put file on the -Path parameter, with extension included, but nothing changed

Try this. It should demonstrate Ian's answer.

$path = "\\mynas\something\folder\"

$fs = Get-ChildItem $path -force 
Foreach ($f in $fs) {
    if ($f.PSIsContainer) {
        [PSCustomObject] @{
            Name = $f.Name;
            Hash = "Is a folder."
        }
    } else {
        $hash = Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA512 -Path $f.fullname
        [PSCustomObject] @{
            Name = $f.Name;
            Hash = $hash.hash
        }
    }
}
