Script to delete any Drive:\smspkg\*.pck files of the specified file age
There are many scripts and examples out there for cleaning up PCK files. The below script is my rendition to cleanup PCK files that are older than the specified number of days. This script can be executed via a package in ConfigMgr on systems that are a DP. Oh and I added some basic logging to the script as well :-)
