IP Usage History Check

hi,

the case win serv 2003 standard sp2 32bit used print server.

i trying find out usage history of ports allocated printers, last 30 days.

i have lot of them or have been offline time, , want free them. beeing more 400 it`s hard ping them or use dedicated program. don`t show info past.

so...i`m lookign solution won`t require dedicated application. i`m searching log file or script.

thank help.

regards,

daniel.

an alternative lists ports used without other data run this:

get-eventlog -logname system -source print -computername printserver -after 29-2-2012 | select -expandproperty message | foreach-object {([regex]::split($_,'via port|.\s\s'))[1].trim() }

where replace 29-2 date looking for. date notation may vary based on geographical location.
