Synopsis

A module to help automate the cleanup of old log files and temp files on your systems.

Description

The Cleaners do the dirty work in your servers for you. We take care of temp files, IIS logs, Exchange Server logs, and more!

Why

  • For all those hours spent manually clearing old IIS logs, Exchange logs, and temp files when a server disk gets low on space.
  • For those teammates who get woken up at night while on call because a disk hit 90% full.
  • For the fun of writing something useful in PowerShell that will hopefully make somebody's day easier!

Getting Started

There are no other strict dependencies, but the following can make things a little easier:

  • Exchange: Exchange Management Tools
