Powershell script pull files dated earlier 2017

Question

I need to create a powershell script to pull files and folders dated earlier than 2017, windows server 2019

Location: C:\stofs01

Answer 1

File and folders have 3 date properties. CreationTime, LastWriteTime, LastAccessTime

Here's an example using LastWriteTime.

$targetDate = get-date -Year 2017 -Month 7 -day 1
get-childitem -path c:\temp -recurse | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt $targetDate}
