Powershell script to find and list directories by modified date 1

[ccoyle]

Hi!

I have a ton of directories and subdirectories under a network share (H. I need to identify any directory not modified since a certain date (10/1/2009) and list them in a file - .csv would be swell but obviously .txt would be fine too.

I've been tryting to get this done via vbs but just can't seem to get the syntax correct. I can post the vbs here too if desired but this wouldn't be the correct forum for that (so I didn't).

Thanks for any assistance!

something like

getchilditems [directory] -r | where{$_.IsDirectory} | where {$_.LastWriteTime < [date]} | select {$_.fullname} | output-csv [filename]

this is off the top of my head, and my ps1 skills are novice, but it should get you started. the basic flow is
1. get all items under a directory recursively
2. only select directories
3. only select directories that have not been modified since a specific date
4. get full directory path
5. save to a csv file

Thanks Jason!
I ended up working with another Tek-Tips expert, Geates, and resolved through a vb script. Not only will I give you a Star, I'll test your solution (when time allows) and report back.

Thanks again!
