Script To Delete Home Drives, Profile and Terminal Services profil gbrown135 6/14/2007 9:50:01 AM Is there any script that would allow to prompt for the netbios name of a user and then read Active directory and then go to the Servers of the profiles and completely remove the user's Home drive, Profile and Terminal Services Profile. I have had a look but there is nothing at all I can find. Any help would be appreciated Gary

If so, that can be converted to the distinguished name using nametranslate: http://www.rlmueller.net/NameTranslateFAQ.htm Once you have that, you would bind to the user object, and get the home folder, profile and terminal services profile attributes. I forget details such as exact names of attributes, so I'd use csvde or ldifde to extract all attributes and see what they are called. The home folder should be in a sharename or UNC form. If a UNC, you could use the file system object delete folder method: http://ns7.webmasters.com/caspdoc/html/vbscript_filesystemobject_object_deletefolder_method.htm http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_wsh_qlcc.mspx?mfr=true If the home folder is a sharename, you will need to query the server to determine the path to the folder that is shared, unshare it, then delete it. Profile and TS profile would likely be handled in a similar manner. /Al

Re: Script To Delete Home Drives, Profile and Terminal Services pr gbrown135 6/15/2007 9:44:01 AM Hi I can convert the sAMAccountName to the distinguished name fine with Const ForReading = 1 Const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3 Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3 Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1 strUser = InputBox("Enter User Name") strDomain = "Globalinfra" Set objTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate") objTrans.Init ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, "" objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strDomain & "\" & strUser strUserDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779) Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUserDN) I know the attributes are profilePath, homeDirectory and terminalServer. All these are in sharename form. I would not know where to start to query the server then to delete the actual file. Could you help at all?
