Rename a file in Roaming folder for each user in a computer using powershell-CodePudding

I am trying to rename a file in \appdata\Roaming\ for each user profile on a pc. The command I am trying this, but not working. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

$old = 'C:\users\*\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common\test.txt'
$rename = 'C:\users\*\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common\test-old.txt'
Get-ChildItem $rename | ForEach-Object {Rename-Item -Path $old -NewName $_ -Force}

CodePudding user response：

What am I doing wrong? Almost everything ;-).

Please take a look if this does what you need:

$folders = get-childitem 'C:\users\' -directory

foreach ($folder in $folders) {
    $file = Join-Path $folder -ChildPath 'AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common\test.txt'
    if (Test-Path $file) {
        rename-item $file -NewName 'test-old.txt'
    }
}
