Batch file to access every file on our team WAN drive?

Flasharino
1 New Member
I have an issue here at work. We have space on a network WAN server used for files shared among our team. Some WAN administration software - about which I have no details at this point - will archive (delete) any files which have not been accessed for some period of time. To restore the file some inconvenient, time-consuming procedure must then be carried out to have the file restored.

My question is this - can some sort of XP batch file be written which can occasionally be run to "access" each and every file on the team drive, resetting whatever field is used to determine the file's last access, thus preventing them from being deleted?

Thanks.

I'm trying to call a batch file that I've built using the FileSystemObject and CreateObject("Wscript.Shell"), oShell.Run... in an asp script. Naturally, I can get the script to work from a command line but not from a browser. The page does not throw an error but the oShell.Run... portion of the script doesn't run. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I need to access some data on a server. I can access it directly using UNC (i.e. \\ComputerName\ShareName\Path\FileName) or using a mapped network drive resource (S:\Path\FileName).
