Could you assist? I tried running the script on the server, and it says
compilation error: invalid character. I tried replacing the quotes with single
quotes, still the same error. Here's the script I'm using:
' Author: Eswar Koneti
' Title: Script to Delete the PCK files on all the exisiting Drives that are
older than 2 Years (730 Days)
Set objfso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set servers = objfso.OpenTextFile ("C:\Scripts\servers.txt", 1)
Set objoutputfile = objfso.OpenTextFile ("C:\Scripts\PCKResults.txt", 2, True)
do While Not servers.AtEndOfStream
strcomputer=servers.readline
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
objoutputfile.WriteLine (strcomputer & " is not Up or something went wrong
with WMI")
Err.Clear
Else
strDays= 500
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk")
For Each objdrive in colItems
drive=left(objDrive.caption,1)
If (objfso.FolderExists("\\" & strComputer & "\"+Drive &"$\smspkg\")) Then
set recive = objfso.GetFolder("\\" & strComputer & "\"+Drive
&"$\smspkg\")
Set colFiles = recive.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
filename=objfile
if (right(FileName, 4) = ".PCK") then
If DateDiff("d", objFile.DateLastModified, Date) > strDays
Then
objoutputfile.WriteLine objfile & vbtab & "exist on "&
vbtab & strComputer & vbtab & "modified date:" & vbtab &
objFile.DateLastModified & vbtab & "Size (MB):" & vbtab &
int(objFile.Size/1048576)
objfso.DeleteFile objfile,TRUE
objoutputfile.WriteLine strComputer & vbTab & "Deleted"
end if
end if
Next
End if
Next
end if
loop
msgbox "script is completed"

Take this with a grain of salt...
but you can delete .PCK files as needed, as CM/SMS will re-create them as
needed.
if you have a static package that's already out on DPs and has not or does need
to change ...
then you can probably delete those.
I would say, any PCK that corresponds to a package ID to something that does
not change and has not changed for the last... year? 18 months? can probably be
deleted.
it's not great practice; the best practice to ensure sufficient space is
available.
you (probably/most likely) won't break anything by deleting the PCK files, but
if one of the packages "comes back", you'll lose the re-claimed space and the
server will incur additional disk overhead/churn/whatever while it re-creates
the PCK file.

Great suggestion. I'll go with this first, I think that should help us limp
along until we get completely migrated.
Thanks!

How about enabling ntfs compression on the source files? It's completely
transparent to the OS and applications.

We're moving to 2012 right now, I only need the 2007 server maybe another 2-3
months.

On the record or off the record??
You should not delete pck files. Have I ever done it? Yes many times. :-)
Is it a real solution? No, it's a band-aid to get you by until you can get more
disk space.

Bump. This is the drive that serves as the package source and the DP.

The drive that contains our patches is getting low on space. Is this the way to
go to clear up space?
