Powershell Test-Path UNC returns false [duplicate]

Question

I know there are already some threads on this, but i dont get it...

ive got a list of file locations from a sql and extract them:

$results = --SQL QUERY--
$result = $results | select Dateipfad, Pfad, Datei, etc...
$dateipfad = $result | select Dateipfad
$dateipfad

and when testing with Test-Path -Path $Dateipfad i get:

False
False
False
False

but when i use Test-Path -Path '\\fs-srv01\folder1\folder2\file4.pdf' its always true

Please try to create a full minimal reproducible example including how you assign the paths to $Dateipfad (not only for us but also for yourself to understand the problem you're facing) — iRon

$dateipfad = $result | select-object -ExpandProperty Dateipfad — iRon

and adding filesystem:: to the path
