Delete home folders for user list?

virtuallynothere — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:00:00 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to modify this script so that it will accept a list of usernames and then delete the home folders for the users. The home folders exist on numerous file servers and I can put the user names in a text or csv file.

Can anyone help me out and thanks in advance!

$psSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName HyperV -Credential nwtraders\administrator

Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock {
  $HD=$PD=$null
  $Filter = "(&(ObjectCategory=user)(Name=helpme testuser))"
  $Searcher = [adsiSearcher]($Filter)
  $Searcher.Findall() |
    ForEach-Object {
      $HD = $_.properties.homedirectory
      $PD = $_.properties.profilepath
      $PD = "$PD.V2"
   } #end foreach-object
} #end scriptblock

"Taking ownership of $hd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "takeown /f $HD /r /d y" }
"Taking ownership of $pd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "takeown /f $PD /r /d y" }
"Adding Administrator Rights to $hd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "icacls $HD /grant administrators:F /t" }
"Adding Administrator Rights to $PD"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "icacls $PD /grant administrators:F /t" }
"Removing folder $hd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "Remove-Item -Path $HD -Recurse -Force" }
"Removing Folder $PD"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "RD $PD -Recurse -Force" }

Delete home folders - specify list of names instead of 1 user at a time?

virtuallynothere — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:00:00 GMT

I am trying to find a way to delete home folders for a list of users that I can put into a csv file or text file.

I found a script that deletes the home folders for a single user, but how can I get this to do this for users specified in a file, and can I add something to have the script delete the user account after it runs?

$psSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName HyperV -Credential nwtraders\administrator

Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock {
  $HD=$PD=$null
  $Filter = "(&(ObjectCategory=user)(Name=HSG Testuser))"
  $Searcher = [adsiSearcher]($Filter)
  $Searcher.Findall() |
    ForEach-Object {
      $HD = $_.properties.homedirectory
      $PD = $_.properties.profilepath
      $PD = "$PD.V2"
   } #end foreach-object
} #end scriptblock

"Taking ownership of $hd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "takeown /f $HD /r /d y" }
"Taking ownership of $pd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "takeown /f $PD /r /d y" }
"Adding Administrator Rights to $hd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "icacls $HD /grant administrators:F /t" }
"Adding Administrator Rights to $PD"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "icacls $PD /grant administrators:F /t" }
"Removing folder $hd"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "Remove-Item -Path $HD -Recurse -Force" }
"Removing Folder $PD"
  Invoke-Command -Session $PSSession -ScriptBlock `
    { Invoke-Expression "RD $PD -Recurse -Force" }

Obtain size of a groups homedirectory folders

Ironbone — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 05:00:00 GMT

I need to obtain the size of a group of users home directories. So far I've got the path to each user but now I need some kind of loop for each of the homefolders.

Script so far:

Get-QADGroupMember 'domain\OU' | select Homedirectory, Name

That gives me a list with path to homedirectory and the name of the user. Now I need a way to add the size of the homedirectory.

Thx in advance
