I am trying to do a script in powershell that will move files older that 30 days to a sub folder. &nbsp;The trick is I have a folder called users that has a sub under it for each users network share as a sub of that is a scans folder that each user scans to from our network scanners. &nbsp; Since each user has their own private scan folder we want to age the data in there but as a safety net we want to be able to move it to a delete folder first so if they have not saved it where it really belongs that it will be easy for them to get back. &nbsp;Example I want to move files from d:\users\*\scans &nbsp;to d:\users\*\scans\delete that are older than 30 days. &nbsp; then give them another 30 days there before we auto delete them. &nbsp; &nbsp;I got the delete working but am having trouble with the move.<br />

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
