The following exception occurred while trying to enumerate the collection: "Access is denied

Question

I have the following powershellscript, and I would like to rewrite it so if it finds this exception it should continue to the next web.

$webapplication =  Get-SPWebApplication  "https://notadummsite.com"
foreach($site in $webapplication.Sites)
{         

    foreach($subWeb in $site.AllWebs)
    {  
        if( $subWeb.AllProperties["WebTemplate"] -eq "Job" -or $subWeb.AllProperties["WebTemplate"] -eq "Opportunity")
        {
            try {
                Write-Host $subWeb.Url
                $SPPubWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($subWeb)
                $SPPubWeb.Navigation.InheritGlobal = $true
                $SPPubWeb.Update()
                Write-Host 'Updated'
            }
            catch{
                Write-Host $subWeb.Url
                Write-Host $error[0]
            }
        } 

        $subweb.Dispose()   
    }

    $site.Dispose()
}

Try using ErrorAction -SilentlyContinue in the script,

-ErrorAction kind of explains itself when you think of it. Basically it instructs PowerShell what action to take when an error occurs. The actions you can set are Continue (which is default), Stop, SilentlyContinue and Inquire.
