Network Folder delete
Our AV solution makes temp files on all our servers in the Windows directory. Im looking for a script I can run locally that reads from a serverlist.txt -> goes out and deletes all folders and their contenets in the following directory: C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\ScanFile - except for today. I've searched high and low and seen pieces, such as reading over the network, searching for files based on date, deleting files (not folders), but nothing quite like my request. Any scripting help would of course greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Nothing like replying to your own thread - ok Im closer - I think -- anyone?
-instead of delete - lets just try try to count the files in the remote
share ? anyone?
(this fails)
$server = "c:\scripts\serverlist2.txt"
foreach {set-location -path \\$server\system32\ | (dir).count}

I think this will get the job done. This is assuming that you are only
wanting to delete folders in the ScanFile folder.

Karl the script works great but just for counting. So if I wanted to change
it to list the contaning directories, or sort and display the newest only, or
best yet, delete everything- the commands at the end, I must be not using the
correct format and I have replaced .count with everything from .dir alias,
dir | where { $_.MshIsContainer }, dir | sort-object LastWriteTime, del *,
etc. Nothing seems to work for those options. Am I using the incorrect
process for this? Thanks

Is your server text file CSV or some other format? the script is stopping like its prompting for something. I press enter, or even try a server name and it errors out.

I am having a simlar issue:
I took
this<http://www.networknet.nl/apps/wp/published/powershell-delete-files-older-than-x-days> and tweaked it.
$Now = Get-Date
$Days = “30”
$TargetFolder = “C:\Test”
$LastWrite = $Now.AddDays(-$days)
$Files = get-childitem $TargetFolder -recurse | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le
“$LastWrite”}
foreach ($File in $Files)
{write-host “Deleting File $File.FullName” -foregroundcolor “Red” ;
Remove-Item $File.FullName -recurse -force }
Anyhow this works great if there are files it can delete. If there are no
files it gives
"
PS C:\Utilities\PS\Delete.old.files>
C:\Utilities\PS\Delete.old.files\DeleteFiles30PlusDays.ps1

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Remove-Item],

I think the issue is that is trying to delete null. (No logic to detect
empty directory.)

I assumed I could kill the library database, and have it rescan the folder. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the old library deleted for good. Now, I have t...
Folder shaing across domains
I have 2 AD forests with full trust. Each has its own domain and exchange server. I'd like a user from domain1 to share a calendar with a user on domain2. I'm currently using the sync util to synchronize certain public folders and I could create matching mailboxes on both servers but legally these 2 domains have to mostly remain separate. I can't have the CEO of one company having a full synced mailbox on the exchange server for the other but they need to see his calendar only. Is this possible and how would one do it since one Exchange server can't see the other's i...
Outlook and Being Networked
I have a two PC running Outlook 2003. Both our networked together through our wireless network, both running XP Home Edition. I'm wanting to keep both .pst files current on each PC so that no matter what PC you currently use, you can access your files and such. I've looked and have read most of the links and articles on http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm and have read many KB articles on Microsoft. Most of these programs cost and I've tried some over their trial period and didn't quite like how they operated or it just wasn't what I needed. So, how can one...

Public Folders
We recently upgraded to Entourage 11.2.4. In addition to each user having their own Exchange account setup for email, our company also has a Public Folder account called "Submit" which is setup to receive customer messages containing attachments. A handful of employees have access to this Public Folder. Since installing the Entourage upgrade we have noticed that we now receive the "Get Entire Message" error on any emails containing attachments that come into the "Submit" account. We have verified the Options for the user's account are set to Receive Complete ...

File opening problem over network
I have what seems to be a strange excel file opening issue that I can't pinpoint and I would greatly appreciate any ideas to try for this problem. We have a network computer running windows 98 SE. On this computer there are many .xls files stored for users to access. Often when opening the files users get an error that reads: Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk pace. -To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need. -To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk yo...
Trying to move messages to folders
When I try to move certain email messages to other folders (manually), suddenly I get this message: "The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook." Even with the restarts, I still get the error messages. I looked up the error message in the database, but it seems to be listed only in cases where you're forwarding mail, not moving it. I also checked for updates to Outook 2002, but the scan said I was up-to-date. This all happened, by the way, after I installed Service Pack 2. Can anyone help? Thanks so much! ...
networking
My question is, we want to setup a calander for everybodies use at our office. Do we need a server or can we run off of our office network? Bottom line question is, can 6 to 8 people use Outlook at the same time without a dedicated server? If so how? Thanks for the help! Ted. simply setup a calendar on a single users outlook installation, then give all other users permission to view and edit that calendar. you may also have to look at some kind of sharing for the drive the outlook is on. It's just like giving your secretary access to your inbox HTH Pete >-----Original ...

Public folders #31
we have mail coming into public folders in exchange 2003 - when people reply to these mails, understandably the from address would be from the user who is replying - we want to have the from address as the public folder address. you can change this when you send the mail in the options menu but exchangfe doesn't like it and throws the following message back: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
