The problem is that we need files copied from a backup create/modified after the 1st of June.<br />
Some files were modified back in 2008, but was copied to the server after the 1st of June this year.<br />
The modified date of these copied files shows 2008, but the create date shows July 2019.<br />
<br />
Thus copying files based on the modified date omits these files, which should actually be included in the copy process.

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
I am trying to copy files from a folder - based on creation date to another destination. <br />
<br />
I tried RoboCopy, but it uses the modified date, which in some instances doesn't work.<br />
<br />
Is there perhaps a PowerShell command to change the modified date to be the same as the creation date for multiple selected files?

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
