Question

Can somebody tell me how I write a batch file that I can attach to a scheduled task that will delete IIS logs that are older than 2 weeks.

Answer 1

Use forFiles in a batch file:

forfiles -p C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 -s -m *.log -d -14 -c "Cmd /C DEL @File"

Commandline params explained:

-d -14                                   //  Specifies num days (14 for 2 weeks)
-p C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1   // path
-m *.log                                 // file mask

You can find all in the technet link in my post.

You will need to install one the Win server resource kits such as Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
