I would like to find out what user folders/files have not been modified in
the past year or so to do some clean up on my servers. How can I go about
doing this? Is the best way to do a windows search based on accessed date
and do a date range?

Have a look at the thread titled "Script needed to Delete Files in a
Directory Based on Date", posted in this newsgroup less than two days ago.
 
Re: Archiving old files

I don't want to delete the files, just find out what files/folders have not
been accessed before a certain date.

Re: Archiving old files

Then use the script in its demo mode and change the wording of the advisory
text!
