Retrieve log files from a specific date

Hi,

Below is a very basic script that simply retrieve log files from a specific date,
Based on the LastWriteTime attribute of the file.

In the script i'm mapping the destination machine drive, this is because i need to use different credentials to access the remote machine.

In case you have already permission to access the remote machine C$ share / other, adjust the script below, just to save time and issue using map drive.

Write-Host "Enter The Requested Date To Filter Files,`nUse The Following Example - 24/12:" -ForegroundColor Green

$RequestedDate = Read-Host

Write-Host "Enter Computer Name / IP, To Retreive Files From..." -ForegroundColor Green

$ComputerName = Read-Host

# Map Network Drive

net use O: \\$ComputerName\C$ /USER:BlaBla BlaBla

# Check If Local Temp Path Exists

if (!(Test-Path C:\Logs\$ComputerName)) {mkdir C:\Logs\$ComputerName}

$ClientLogs = Get-ChildItem O:\LocalApp\Client\Logs\ -Recurse

$ServerLogs =  Get-ChildItem O:\LocalApp\Server\Logs\

$ClientLogs_Results = $ClientLogs | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime.ToString("dd/MM") -eq $RequestedDate}

$ServerLogs_Results = $ServerLogs | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime.ToString("dd/MM") -eq $RequestedDate}

    foreach ($ServerLogs_R in $ServerLogs_Results) {

        Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Copying $ServerLogs_R"

        Copy-Item -LiteralPath $ServerLogs_R.fullname -Destination C:\Logs\$ComputerName -Force

        

    } # END of ServerLogs_Results Loop

    foreach ($ClientLogs_R in $ClientLogs_Results) {

        Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Copying $ClientLogs_R"

        Copy-Item -LiteralPath $ClientLogs_R.fullname -Destination C:\Logs\$ComputerName -Force

        

    } # END of ServerLogs_Results Loop

# Remove Map Network Drive

Net use O: /delete /y

Write-Host "`n`nPress Enter To Exit..." -ForegroundColor Green

Read-Host

Enjoy!
