we have a server running with AD with a bunch of users. but the users have
been taking up too much disk space on the server so we want to make a policy
that all the files older than 2 weeks get automatically earased....

Hello Zee,

That's not possible automatically via GPO. You'd have to write a script
doing this. Other options would be to implement a Hierachical Storage
Management Solution (which stores old files on other disks or backups)
or use another 3rd party tool.
