The Defensibility report shows more items collected then are reported at the Destination

Description
Cause
Using Microsoft's Explorer to obtain file count through Properties of the folder, will not count files once the folder path exceeds 260 characters.... thus providing a lower then actual file count.
Solution
Use the RoboCopy tool to provide a count of files in the target directory regardless of depth.
- Open a command prompt in a temporary folder and run the following command to output the file count to a text file:
- robocopy "x:\CollectionDestination" "x:\CollectionDestination" /l /nocopy /is /e /nfl /njh /njs > RoboCopy.txt
- Where: "x:\CollectionDestination" is the path to the root of the File Share destination folder.
- The output will list the number of files in each sub-folder off the root path.
Issue/Introduction
After a File Share collection task, validating the file count on the Destination against the Defensibility report, using Microsoft's folder properties, shows the destination has fewer items then collected.
