Title: Automatically Deleting Folders
Post by: tjhorne on September 23, 2005, 01:25:36 PM

I am using Windows Server 2003 and I need to delete directories that are for example 2 weeks old, is there a way to automate this process?

Wether it be a script or some 3rd party utility?

Thanks!

Can you give me a better idea where to go once I get to this screen?

I'm new to Windows Server 2003.

Thanks!

Try setting up EmpTemp as a scheduled task. I would also take a look at EmpRunner, part of the program, as it might be possible to schedule this part alone.

You can add folders to EmpTemp as you like.

In unix you can do it very easily.

Install Cygwin, it will give you a unix env.
