I want to map a network drive, delete all files > 30 days old, un-map the network drive

I know the command for deleting the files, but not the network mapping...

What are the Powershell equivalents of net use X: \\foo\bar and net use X: \\foo\bar delete??

Thank you, Tom

To map:

new-psdrive -name Z -psprovider Filesystem -Root "\\server\share"

To Unmap:

remove-psdrive -name Z

Many thanks!! :) :)

Some more notes:
- "net use" still works in PowerShell
- Unfortunately, new-psdrive does not support alternate credentials
- You can use UNC paths EVERYWHERE in PowerShell, unlike cmd. Try "cd \\server\share" sometime, works fine.
- Look at the help for the New-PsDrive cmdlet, especially example #4

Hmmm...all I really care about is that the Z: drive is properly seen for its files > 30 days to be deleted.

your UNC paths comment is even better, then it becomes a two-liner :) :)

I can cd to the UNC path instead, then run the delete files > 30 days command...

Thank you, Tom

What I did is:

cd "\\storage\backup\WSSBackup\12HiveBackup\Logs"
dir|? {$_.CreationTime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-30)} | del

Should be just fine now. :)

Thank you, Tom

Of course, you don't need to cd...

dir \\storage\backup\WSSBackup\12HiveBackup\Logs |? {$_.CreationTime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-30)} | del

Thank you...
How would one modify this statement to only delete files in the 'Logs' folder but not delete any child folders??
Thank you, Tom
