Guest A W Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I need to write a script that will search for and delete files in the user data folders. Im seeing MP3s and such turn up on the system. I have no budget to upgrate to R2 and no budget to buy software. Next best thing is a script. But I have never written script for server before. So, uh... help!?

Knowing some basic console commands is a very handy thing for a server administrator. If you need to this sort of thing regularly then you can put your commands into a batch file like so: @echo off del /s "d:\User Files\*.mp3" del /s "d:\User Files\*.avi" del /s "d:\User Files\*.wme" or perhaps like so: @echo off for %%a in (mp3 avi wme) do del /s "d:\User Files\*.%%a"
Guest A W Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: write a script for 2003 R1 to remove files.. help?? D'Ho! A console command! LOL A batch file would work fine. I can set that up to run every hour or so. (or perhaps once, right before the backup). thanks Pegasus. Any good sites on Scripting though?. Maybe I should learna little scripting anyway...
