I wonder if this would run faster directly on the server in powershell instead? I'm assuming with doing this over SMB you have to download all files, run the hash - if ran locally, you get to skip the download time, I assume.

I gathered that the SMB shares are hosted on Linux, but I could be wrong.

If they are hosted on Windows like you are assuming, then I would agree that PowerShell would probably be most performant for this.

The title says - Windows SMB Shares.

My guess is that Dustin is a lone wolf running a 'nix OS as his machine - and the rest of the company is using Windows. Nothing wrong with that, just my guess.

His company is significantly Mac.

aww, that's right - he has been asking a lot of MAC questions lately.

Unix questions to be more precise, but yeah we are a heavy Mac shop.
