  Running a forfiles script

  forfiles /p "C:\WINDOWS\Temp" /M *.*  /d -1 /c "cmd /c del  @path"

  Its working as expected but I got up with some other challenge here...I created a bach file on win 2k3 box and scheduled it under the task scheduler.
   
  while I am logged into the box, I am getting the below options.
   
  C:\>forfiles /p "C:\WINDOWS\Temp" /M *.*  /d -1 /c "cmd /c del  @path"
   
  C:\WINDOWS\Temp\AeX_{A4597EF2-B2F1-4954-A2FF-A65C393439AF}_1440.tmp
   Access is denied.
   C:\WINDOWS\Temp\KB2487367_10.0.30319\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
   C:\WINDOWS\Temp\KB2604121_10.0.30319\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
   C:\WINDOWS\Temp\KB2656351_10.0.30319\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
   C:\WINDOWS\Temp\KB2656368v2_10.0.30319\*, Are you sure (Y/N)?
   
  when I am not logged onto the server, task scheduler doesn't do anything at all. ensured that the option running the task without logon is checked, unable to understand what else need to be changed.

  ===============================================================

  Running the same forfiles script on windows 2008 R2 box and its behaving the same. Marked the option run the task without the user logon.
   
  Also tried checking with run with highest privileges on the other box in teh task scheduler.

  ===============================================================

  Running the powershell script in the same way to delete files older than 1 day...it works as expected bu on the schedule the task scheduler doesn't do anything.

  $a = Get-ChildItem s:\dbwsrv3\ -recurse

  foreach($x in $a)

     {

         $y = ((Get-Date) - $x.CreationTime).Days

         if ($y -gt 1 -and $x.PsISContainer -ne $True)

             {$x.Delete()}

     }

  created a bat file c:\cleanup.ps1 and schedule, maually running on schedule it doesn't give me any options

  when i run the bat file in windows powershell, gives me the below output

  PS C:\> $a = Get-ChildItem c:\windows\temp\ -recurse
  PS C:\>
  PS C:\> foreach($x in $a)
  >>

  >>
  >>         if ($y -gt 1 -and $x.PsISContainer -ne $True)
  >>
  >>             {$x.Delete()}
  >>
  >>     }
