Hi John, Actually, it came with the NT 4 and 2000 Server Resource kits. It only started to be include with the system in 2003. Here's site where you can get the files. http://www.dynawell.com/support/Reskit/win2k.asp
Forfiles works great in that it transverses all my client folders, finds the unzipped logs based upon their date and then zips them using the original file name. The second command I use does the same thing, but deletes the unzipped copy of the files that were just zipped.
