This allows you to add a randomly generated number to the prefix of a bunch of files.
In the below example we are adding a random prefix to every *.jpg file:
$files = Get-ChildItem "C:\temp\files" -Filter *.jpg foreach ($file in $files) { $prefix = Get-Random $newFileName = "${prefix}_${file}" Rename-Item $file $newFileName }
