Remarks

To create a file management job, call the IFsrmFileManagementJobManager::CreateFileManagementJob method.

The following methods return this interface:

1. IFsrmFileManagementJobManager::EnumFileManagementJobs

2. IFsrmFileManagementJobManager::GetFileManagementJob

If a file management job object is modified using MSFT_FSRMFileManagementJob or a related WMI class, then the methods and properties of the IFsrmFileManagementJob interface may no longer be usable and fail in unexpected ways when working with the same job.

When a file management job runs, it scans the files in the specified folders and if a file in the folder meets the conditions specified by the job, FSRM moves the file to the specified expired files folder if the type is expiration, or runs the custom action if defined. If notifications or actions are specified, FSRM sends the notifications and performs the actions.

Use the following properties to specify the expiration conditions:

1. DaysSinceFileCreated

2. DaysSinceFileLastAccessed

3. DaysSinceFileLastModified

4. PropertyConditions (use the CreatePropertyCondition method to create the property condition)

5. FSRM performs a logical AND on all the conditions to determine if the file meets those conditions.

FSRM does not expire files in the system directories (for example, "\Windows", "\System Volume Information", "$Event", and "$Recycle").
