forfiles help

[flotsam]

I am trying to use the forfiles command to create a report of files older than x days, that reside on my file server.

I have the following:

forfiles -s -py:\ -m*.* -d-365 -c"cmd /c echo @FDATE @FSIZE @PATH\@FILE" | sort /O C:\filereports\365daysold.txt

The above runs perfectly as it is. The drive listed is not my file server, it is another mapped drive that I was using for testing. To run this against my file server it would look like the following:

forfiles -s -pu:\ -m*.* -d-365 -c"cmd /c echo @FDATE @FSIZE @PATH\@FILE" | sort /O C:\filereports\365daysold.txt

The problem is that when I try and run it on this drive, I get the following output:

-snip
19941216 4896 u:\ACCPAY\PAGENET.XLS
19941220 3300 u:\ACCPAY\PARKWAY.XLS
FindNextFile - unexpected return code=6 (on FindNext) line 317
Warning : Access denied (during recursion) line 302
Warning : Access denied (on FindFirst) line 274
-EOF

I get the same error if I run the command logged into windows as myself, or the domain admin, remote (drive map), or locally on the server.

Yet I have no problem running a simple dir /s command either logged in under my user accout, or the domain admin.

Can anyone tell me where I screwed up?

Thanks, Chad

I just wanted to say thanks for all of your input.

I decided to create a batch file to run this against all of the various directories that I needed to, instead of continuing the search for a complete solution, due to time constraints. Not elegant, but it is effective.

Thanks again,
Chad
