Be sure you also have a policy or announcement at the very least stating that these sorts of files should not be on corporate file servers and take up corporate storage space. If they continue to break policy, then likely no one in HR or management are taking that policy seriously and maybe only writing up or not even doing anything when violations occur. In that case, I would forego spending any money on a network-based solution and instead just use one of the other responses to either File Screen (with win2003 r2) or script the deletion of those files nightly. Anything more is just a back and forth pushing match that won't get anywhere until your backups or storage fill up and makes some people look at the cost of adding. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
