Automation of moving files
I have a windows 2003 server. I am wanting to move files based on modification date to another drive. I want to automate this process and be able to schedule it to run once a month.

Hi,
Have you looked at robocopy? You can move, copy, etc with this command even with behold of security rights
This option will help you:
/minage:<N> Specifies the minimum file age (exclude files newer than N days or date).
Complete syntax:

You can modify this script to move instead of delete.

Once you have the script you can schedule it to run via Task Scheduler.
