Need tool to find files attributes

qwertyiop

I was asked to find a tool and I was wondering if you guys can help me out with this.






"Can you investigate tools that can provide histories of files added, created modified over a specific period of time. The available free space on the Fileshares share has decreased from 50Gb two weeks ago to 34.8 GB today. At this rate we will not have sufficient storage capacity left."

If the OS is Server 2003 R2, you can use the built-in File Server Resource Manager:

Powershell scripts would also do the job.

Examples:

get-childitem -path c:\wherever -recurse | where-object {$_.lastwritetime -gt "2/1/2009"}

get-childitem -path c:\wherever -recurse | where-object {$_.creationtime -gt "2/1/2009"}

Add | get-member to any of the above to get properties of the items. You can use select propertyname to get additional info. You can also export the info to csv for analysis in Excel or another spreadsheet app. For example...

get-childitem -path c:\wherever -recurse | where-object {$_.lastwritetime -gt "2/1/2009"} | select name,directory,lastwritetime,creationtime | export-csv report.csv

I'm on a Win 2k3 network but the server that i would like to do this to is a 2k8. Would I any of these work on that?

As long as you install PowerShell on it (2003 or 200 HP's example will work great. As for the File Server Resource Manager that is available under the File Server role in Server 2008.
