Roman's answer with GetDirectories() might just be what you need. I also
wanted to highlight an interesting feature of PowerShell which is not very
well known:

PS> dir \\server\x$\BusinessUnit*\Folder*\Data\*

.... will list all items in both BusinessUnitX\Folder1\Data and
BusinessUnitY\Folder1\Data folders, plus BusinessUnitX\Folder2\Data if it
exists, etc.

Might help you target your search more easily.
