I just wrote my first script to delete old files from a storage server. I used an example I saw online and made adjustments to make it work in our environment. I have scheduled it using Martin's How-To and I will know tomorrow when I come back in to work if it ran or not.
If all goes as planned, twice a week it will remove backups that are more than 7 days old from our storage server. That way we will ensure a week's worth of backups and not have to worry aboutfilling up our storage drives.
I have been wanting to learn more about PowerShell and have been reading "Learn Windows PowerShell in a Month of Lunches" but without any way to see it in action in my own environment, I was getting antsy and frustrated. After a week and a half, I was getting bored with it.This is just the type of thing I need to help me finish it.
