Find-App.ps1 (Powershell)

Searches published applications that match a given input parameter and returns matches displaying the full path (distinguished name).

Description

If you have a lot of published applications in several nested folders, it can be a challenge to locate exactly which particular folder contains a particular application.  This script takes a parameter as a search pattern.  The script then searches the published application directory structure and returns the full path to all applications that match the search pattern parameter. This saves time clicking through all the folders trying to find a published application.
