Script to delete old log files on Win server 2003

Windows scripting, Scripting, Windows Server 2003, Batch files

Hi all,
looking for a script or batch file that I can call from schedule tasks that will delete some older symantec log files that keep filling up my c: drive.

Any suggestion or pointers would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hello, I think that this will solve your problem, just save the following code as whateveryoulike.vbs and schedule it (remember: the user that runs the scheduled job must have access to the "WhatchFolder ").

 Const WhatchFolder = "C:\TheFolder"
 Const MaxDays = 30
 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(WhatchFolder)
 Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
 For Each objFile in colFiles
     If DateDiff("d",objFile.DateCreated,now) >= MaxDays Then
 		objFSO.DeleteFile(objFile.Path)
 	End If    	
 Next
 

I hope this helps.
