Status: offline 		I have a script that deletes files more than 2 weeks old from a particular directory. It works fine with W2K3 server SP1 but with SP2 I get a "permission denied" error on line 6 of the code. What's different and how do I force it to do what I want on SP2?

Dim fso, f, f1, fc
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder("C:\nbexe\x86")
Set fc = f.Files
For Each f1 in fc
If DateDiff("d", f1.DateLastModified, Now) > 14 Then f1.Delete
Next

Status: offline 		In that case it would be an account permissions issue.

Status: offline 		Permissions are the same for the directory where the script is being run and the directory that the files are to be deleted from. That was the first thing I checked. The only difference being the service packs that I can see.

Status: offline 		I don't know what to tell you then. There is nothing in SP2 that changed the way the .delete method worked. So since the same code works on some machines but not on one, the issue is environmental and I don't have access to your environment to troubleshoot it.

You say that the permissions are the same and the the accounts are the same, but the error that you are getting says otherwise.


There is one other possibility for you to look at, if the file is open it would give that error as well.

Status: offline 		I appreciate your help. I'm sure the accounts are permissions are good. It's funny but I have two test servers, SP1, that work and 3 prod servers ,SP2, that don't. I'll keep searching. Thanks again.

Status: online 		Is it possible the file is open? Maybe someone has it open via a share on the other server?
Try using a brand new test file on the servers that don't appear to work and let us know the results. obviously the current logic of > 14 won't work, so you'll have to change that.
