File Management

Question

Has anyone Successfully Created\Deployed Multiple File Management rules within a domain? 
 
 IE 
 Home Directory - 30 days till execute 
 Home Directory\Sub folders\Backup - 14 days till execute 
 
 What worked? 
 Im considering System Variables Like %Home% or System Variables Like $PathName, will test and validate 
 documentation.solarwinds.com/.../servu-system-variables.htm 
 Appears wild cards are not supported

Seems Solarwinds does NOT support wild cards in File Management Rules. 
 Their Advice as such is that If I want a different rule for subfolder\Backup Folder under the root, I would need to create a separate rule for each subfolder\Backup Directory, (IE 10 SubFolders, 10 Rules). 
 And Advised to Raise a feature request, My last feature request is still outstanding for MFA support, but you never know! 
 In my case I have some 700 subfolders so Not an Ideal solution! 
 Given that I have some powershell experience and Azure Automation available to me I am investing time into a script that I will get Azure to run. 
 Disappointing but will move on!
