The "CDATextractor" utility ...
Current version: 2.1

The CDATextractor program is a simple but useful utility allows you to extract contents of Microsoft ISA Server’s cache-file. To optimize an extraction process it is possible to use optional filters by file name and file size. Also it is possible to launch CDATextractor utility by schedule from command line.

Usage:

CDATextractor.exe /SourceFile=<cdat-file> /OutputDir=<Directory> [...optional kes...]

Required keys:

/SourceFile - full path to the source CDAT-file
/OutputDir - full path to the output foder

Optional keys:

/FileFilter - file filter masks
/MinSize - minimum file size (bytes)
/MaxSize - maximum file size (bytes)
/SuppressWarnings - disable all popup windows
/RunAtStartUp - execute an extraction process immediately
/AutoClose - close program after extraction

Example:

copy \\myserver\c$\urlcache\dir1.cdat c:\tmp cdatextractor.exe /sourcefile=c:\tmp\dir1.cdat /outputdir=c:\tmp\target /filefilter=“*.rar;*.zip” /minsize=1024 /suppresswarnings /runatstartup /autolose del c:\tmp\dir1.cdat

This sample batch-file copies source cdat-file from proxy server to the local directory (this trick allows you to process cache-file without previous stopping ISA server’s process), executes CDATextractor utility in batch mode and extracts all RAR and ZIP lager than 1KB.
