Hi John, If you use daily IIS logfiles I would go by filename instead of time stamp. Our log archival script is scheduled for a few days (5) afterwards to zip up the previous month's files. You don't need to wait that long, but since IIS sometimes locks the file for a while, I would wait at least one day before running the script. We wait a bit longer due to the occassional need to do additional reporting for the previous month.
In your case, running the script on Monday evening or Tuesday morning for the previous Monday through Sunday filenames should work fine.

The problem I am having is that I want to zip the previous 7 days, but sometimes the last log is time stamped say 04/16/06 11:59 PM and sometimes say 04/17/06 12:00 AM. Because of that, if I run the batch file on 04/17/06, it may or may not include the log file for 04/16/06 depending on the final time stamp. Other than stopping services just before midnight and then restarting, what is the best way to always ensure that I am processing the correct day's files?
