title: Check for File in multiple directories with an IF statement Powershell
body: <p>I am facing some problems in powershell. I want to be able to let a powershell command search for multiple directories. 
  With the name being a variable like "$VM_DISK=VM_DISK.vhdx" and let powershell search in that manor so that if that file exists in a folder such as C:\VM_DISK\ it exit the script. 
  I have already tried the "Get-Childitem" but it doesn't seem to work when I put my variable in it. Here is an example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    $VM_DISK= "Example.vhdx"
  
      $search=Get-ChildItem -Path C:\VM_DISK\* -Filter $VM_DISK -Recurse 
  
      if ($search -eq $VM_DISK) {write-host "Goodbye!" exit}  else {write-host "Continue"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just cant seem to figure out why this isn't working, hope some can figure it out.</p>
