Do you of any utilities which would help me
perform basic houskeepings on a file server
running Windows NT 4.0.
I need to get a list of largest file sizes
and the oldest files by last access date.

For starters you can use the dir command to list files by size or date using the /O flag. For example, dir /o: s will list all files by size in ascending order, and dir /o: d will do it by date. You can pipe this into a text file like this
"dir /o: s >filesixe.txt"
For the syntax with the dir command use dir /?

You could automate this process in a script that includes all of the directories you need to check.
