get-wmiobject -class cim_datafile -filter "drive='c:' , extension='pst'" | 
    % { copy-item $_.name -destination i:\$name\pstfiles -force}

$excludedirs = 'c:\windows','c:\users','c:\program files','c:\program files (x86)','c:\hp' ,'c:\hpexperience','c:\intel','c:\logs','c:\ocsetupdir','c:\perflogs','c:\quarantine','c:\ssm' ,'c:\system.sav','c:\temp'

    % { copy-item $_.fullname -destination i:\$name\cdrive -recurse -force}

however getting following error.

copy-item : access path 'c:\users\minnis\documents\my music' denied.
@ line:21 char:10
+ copy-item <<<<  "$env:userprofile\documents\*" "i:\$name\my documents" -recurse -force
    + categoryinfo          : notspecified: (:) [copy-item], unauthorizedaccessexception
    + fullyqualifiederrorid : system.unauthorizedaccessexception,microsoft.powershell.commands.copyitemcommand

but directory c:\users\minnis\documents\my music not exist idea causing , how fix it?

add each copy-item command suppress access errors:

-erroraction silentlycontinue

 alternatively, can change erroractionpreference silentlycontinue before beginning copies, , return old value after copy commands. this:

$lasterroractionpreference = $erroractionpreference $erroractionpreference = 'silentlycontinue'  ### ... copy-item commands go here  $erroractionpreference = $lasterroractionpreference remove-variable lasterroractionpreference
