How to rename all folder names to lowercase.
All examples found with google faild.

Hi Anna,

Windows doesn't do case sensitive names so you must go through an
intermediate name.

For example...

# Get all folders in the current folder containing upper-case
# characters in the name
Get-ChildItem | ?{ $_.PsIsContainer -And $_.Name -CMatch "[A-Z]" } | %{
# Get the lower case version of the name
$Name = $_.Name.ToLower()
# Rename the item to a temporary name, using PassThru to return
# the renamed item
$TempItem = Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName "$($Name)-Temp"
-PassThru
# Final rename to make the name entirely lower case
Rename-Item -Path $TempItem.FullName -NewName $Name
}
