"Is there any way to pass credentials when enumerating a remote UNC? So far, I have to go to Start - Run, enter the UNC and authenticate when prompted. Only then can I do a get-childitem on that UNC within PowerShell. Otherwise I'm told the UNC doesn't exist."

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. -Douglas Adams

If I follow, you can use new-psdrive with a credential object to mount the remote UNC before trying to use gci to enumerate it.
