Removing the Temporary Attribute from Multiple Files with Powershell

I found this one very helpful in debugging DFS replication with Autodesk generated files.

Autodesk products stamp a temporary mark to files it generates. And this causes DFS to stop replicating them.

Run this powershell oneliner to clear out the attribute from files under directory:

Get-childitem D:Data -recurse
| ForEach-Object
-process {if
(($_.attributes
-band 0x100)
-eq 0x100)
{$_.attributes
= ($_.attributes -band
0xFEFF)}}
