Script to Remove Old IIS Logs
One of the ongoing issues I seem to run into is Exchange servers running low on disk space for the C: drive. When this happens messages stop flowing because Exchange doesn't want to run out of disk space. Much of the time, the disk space on C: is being eaten up by IIS logs. IIS does not have any functionality to automatically delete old logs. So, I've seen servers with years of logs stored in C:\Inetpub\Logs\. Here is a script that you can schedule as a task to remove old IIS log files: # Adjust these two variables $iisLogDir = "C:\inetpub\logs" $deleteAfterDays = 14 #calculate date for deletion $removeDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-$deleteAfterDays) #Delete Files Get-ChildItem -Path $iisLogDir -Recurse -Force | Where-Object { !$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.CreationTime -lt $removeDate } | Remove-Item -Force This calculates the age of the file based on the creation time. If you want it to be based on modified time use $_.LastWriteTime instead. The Where-Object command uses !$_
