Powershell: Copy all Subdirectory and Contents in Parent Folder to Another Folder Destination

Question

I have some folders called

C:\Source
C:\Destination

C:\Source contains 
  ---> FolderA (having few files)
  ---> FolderB (having few files)
  ... etc

I want to copy all subdirectories into C:\Destination

How would I write Powershell program which takes all multiple variable subfolders and copies into Directory?

This does not work, as it is results in copying all of Source Folder into Destination resulting in

C:\Destination\Source

Would like to keep same subdirectory folder structure

usually, the best thing to use for this is robocopy. [*grin*] you _can_ call it from inside powershell ... — Lee_Dailey, May 26 '19 at 00:55

This seems to work

Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Source" |
Copy-Item -Force -Destination "C:\Destination" -Recurse -Container
