Exception calling "Matches" with "2" argument(s): "Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: input"
At C:\scripts\file shares\FileShares.ps1:176 char:5

I have the same issue did anyone have anything that could help.

I found out the issue When there ins't any shares on that machine the $files variable is blank therefore the Regex can't compare anything because if you take the -filter out the script works great.

$Files = gwmi -Class win32_share -ComputerName $computer | Where-Object{$_.Name -NotMatch "^print|^NETLOGON|^MTATempStore|^prnproc"}
