The following PowerShell script works if the resources are not there.
Copy-Item $src_dir $dst_dir$agent_folder -recurse But if the resources are there, it will say:
+ Copy-Item <<<< $src_dir $dst_dir$agent_folder -recurse + CategoryInfo : ResourceExists: (C:\Users\Pac\Desktop\Agents\Agent0\lib:S tring) [Copy-Item], IOException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DirectoryExist,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemComm and What do I have to add to the command so that it will unconditionally copy the files?

To copy only updated or newer files with PowerShell, we can use Copy-Item with some logic in the script that to check if the files exist on the destination folder if not then copy that file and if yes then compare the timestamp and copy the latest file.
The Copy-Item cmdlet copies an item from one location to another location in the same namespace. For instance, it can copy a file to a folder, but it can't copy a file to a certificate drive. This cmdlet doesn't cut or delete the items being copied.
Use Copy-Item Command to Copy Files Recursively in PowerShell. We usually run into situations where we have many subfolders in the parent folder, which files we'd like to copy over. Using the -Recurse parameter on Copy-Item will look in each subfolder and copy all files and folders in each recursively.
It has a -force parameter.
