General information about the provided examples
All given examples were written for Microsoft Windows. If you are using Linux watch out for some differences:
- In Linux the syntax is a little bit different. Arguments are written with a doubledash (e.g. "--action"). Furthermore there is possibility to shorten the syntax (e.g. "-a" for "--action"). For further information see the fscadmin help.
- In Linux you might set the hostname as well as the port while in Microsoft Windows these informations are not necessary. Host and port is the listen hostname and port of COO-Service 1. For example:
fscadmin --host --port -a list

Finding out the ID of a specific Service:
In order to clean up a particular MMC-Service area you need to figure out the Service ID of the affected service.
To create a list of services and their assigned ID you have to execute the following command:
fscadmin.exe -action list
Cleanup of all areas of all MMC-Services
fscadmin.exe -action cleanup -service all -time 30
- -service allThe command is executed against all services
- -time 30The cleanup is restricted to files which were saved at least 30 days ago.
Cleanup of all areas of a specificMMC-Service
fscadmin.exe -action cleanup -service 2 -time 30 -logfile C:\temp\MMCSVC2.log
- -service 2The command is executed against a specific service with the ID 2
- -logfile C:\temp\MMCSVC2.logThe logfile is saved to C:\temp\MMCSVC2.log - When a command is executed against a specific
servicewe recommendsetting the logfile parameter for an easier analysis in case of an error
Cleanup of single area of a MMC-Service
fscadmin.exe -action cleanup -service 2 -areadir MMCArea1 -time 30
- -areadir MMCArea1
The command is restricted to a specific MMC area with the name MMCArea1

- -casrange 00-3fThe command only cleans up files in the CAS range between 00-3f.
Consistency check of MMC-Service areas
fscadmin.exe -action checkconsistency -service 2
