    Method to delete old profiles for domain users on Workstations/devices


    Does anyone know of or have, a method to delete users profiles properly from client devices, of deleted domain users. By "properly" I mean that it emulates the process of going to Properties >> Advanced System Settings >> Advanced TAB >> User profiles.With the early days of SSD's and tablets, some have quite limited storage and I need to remove them en masse from a large number of domain joined devices, some of which are not always accessible turned offAny suggestions... besides visiting 100 of machines... keep that one to yourself..

    :)

  3. Domain user getting a temporary profile when logging on a workstation

    One of the domain user is getting logged onto a temporary profile on any workstation that they log onto. I have checked the registry and removed the corrupted user profile. Ensured that the user profile was deleted. Also performed a sfc and dism. DISM fails
    when you do a scan or a restore health (error code 1223)

    Inspite of all these, it loads a temporary profile. When I checked the event logs. there were logs saying that it can find the local profile on the workstation and hence loading a temporary profile.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Method to delete old profiles for domain users on Workstations/devices

    script to delete users profile

    A few more questions that may be asked...

    1. Are these domain user profiles on the PC or local users?
    2. Do you need logging of success/failure/names of deleted profiles, etc. and, if so, seperate logs or a combined one?
    3. What filepath to use for any log(s)?
