Have you run side-by-side metrics on this?
I've run the Delete Object method and your script against similar data sets and yours appears to take a fair bit longer. I'd have to re-run in identical circumstances, a few times, to really say for sure, but my initial impression is that it will take hours
longer.
I guess the point is somewhat moot anyway, as for me the bit that generally takes longest is the actual query, rather than the deletions.
Boy how I wish I could just enter something into the FIM Portal directly that would blast out a bunch of users matching a query. One day...

Using Powershell to delete all users from the Portal

Summary
This script will delete all users from the Portal except for Administrator and the Built-In Sync account.
Based on Markus's "Delete a User" script.
Useful when developing your system if you want to quickly clear out the data and start again.
set-variable -name URI -value "http://localhost:5725/resourcemanagementservice' " -option constant
function DeleteObject
PARAM($objectType, $objectId)
END
$importObject = New-Object Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportObject
$importObject.ObjectType = $objectType
$importObject.TargetObjectIdentifier = $objectId
$importObject.SourceObjectIdentifier = $objectId
$importObject.State = 2
$importObject | Import-FIMConfig -uri $URI
if(@(get-pssnapin | where-object {$_.Name -eq "FIMAutomation"} ).count -eq 0) {add-pssnapin FIMAutomation}
$allobjects = export-fimconfig -uri $URI `
–onlyBaseResources `
-customconfig "/Person"
$allobjects | Foreach-Object {
$displayName = $_.ResourceManagementObject.ResourceManagementAttributes | `
Where-Object {$_.AttributeName -eq "DisplayName"}
if([string]::Compare($displayName.Value, "Administrator", $True) -eq 0)
{write-host "Administrator NOT deleted"}
elseif([string]::Compare($displayName.Value, "Built-in Synchronization Account", $True) -eq 0)
{write-host "Built-in Synchronization Account NOT deleted"}
else {
$objectId = (($_.ResourceManagementObject.ObjectIdentifier).split(":"))[2]
DeleteObject -objectType "Person" `
-objectId $objectId
write-host "`nObject deleted`n" $displayName.Value }

The DeleteObject function opens and closes a connection for each object. This approach is faster:

How to use RichCopy to copy only files that have changed?

I am using RichCopy to copy files and folders from one system to another on a weekly basis. RichCopy is working fine, but it is copying 100% of the data every time. I am looking for a way to use RichCopy where it will compare files/folders from
the source and only copy what data has changed to the destination. I cannot find the option to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you.

RichCopy is not a Windows 7 feature and it is an obsolete utility and there is no support for RichCopy.
Info found @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RichCopy
RichCopy is not supported by Microsoft.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-technet200904_1-1">[1]</sup> The program has
not been updated since approximately June 2009, despite numerous users requesting for bug fixes.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4">[4]</sup>

How to use Powershell to update user details in Active Directory?

Hi,
I received an updated contact list from HR of about 1500 names, and I want to update (make corrections and add missing data) ADUC quickly without having to do each user manually. How would I go about that using power-shell?
The fields that need updating are:
Under the General tab -> Description, Telephone number
Everything under the Address tab
Under the Telephone tab - > Mobile
Under the Organization tab -> Job Title, Department, Company, Manager
The server we're using is Windows Server 2008 R2.
Many thanks,

HT201612 how to use ctrl+alt+delete to restart with boot camp

how to use (ctrl+alt+delete) to restart?

You press all the keys (ctrl+alt+delete) at once
Some information
In a personal computer with the Windows operating system, Ctrl-Alt-Delete is the combination of keyboard keys that the computer user can press at the same time to terminate an application task or to reboot the operating system (have it shut down and restart itself). In Windows 95 or any later systems, Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up a window that allows a user to see the status of all currently running programs and to terminate any of them, and also offers the options of shutting down, restarting, and so on (the specific options vary slightly with the particular version of windows). In Windows 95 or 98, if Ctrl-Alt-Delete is pressed a second time or twice in a row quickly, the operating system closes all programs that are running and then restarts.
When the operating system seems to hang suspended while waiting for an application program to continue, a user is also left without a way to regain control of the system. The Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination allows the user to terminate the "hung" application and, if that doesn't work, to reboot the system. The system can also be restarted using the mouse to select Start-->Turn Off the System-->Restart. However, Ctrl-Alt-Delete sometimes works when the menu option doesn't.

How to use EWS or Powershell to rename all folders that have a forward slash in them

We have many users that have created folders in Outlook that have forward slashes in the name (i.e. / ). They did this in Outlook/Exchange 2003. We upgraded to Outlook 2010 and this is no longer aloud so there are issues with the folders when performing
functions such as trying to share or using IMAP, etc.
I'm looking for a way to specify a particular user's mailbox in a script and have it traverse every folder/subfolder and check if there is a forward slash in the name. If there is a forward slash I would like to rename the folder to something like the bar
character (i.e |) or another character that is valid.
I had most users go through Outlook manually and clean them up. However there are a handful of users that have hundreds if not thousands of subfolders that have the forward slash in them.
I've done extensive research on this (references to my research below) and came close in putting a script together but I just can't figure it out. Anyone have an example for this? Even if I need to specify a folder within the Inbox and have the script only
process subfolders from this location would be acceptable since most of them are subfolders of a particular folder.
Thank you.

First two articles are for public folders so it won't help here as you have mailbox folders...
http://unlockpowershell.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/powershell-rename-a-mailbox-folder-using-exchange-web-services-api/
This is good starting point, you might need to change the logics around it to search / and replace with - or someting, this might be the code change needed from that article but would suggest you to test it first.
foreach ($folder in $ffResponse.Folders)
if ($folder.Displayname -like “*/*”)
Write-Output “Found / in the $mailboxName and folder name is $folder.Displayname”
$folder.Displayname.Replace("/","-")
$folder.Update()

You'll need to have access to some sort of database account to use the tool. If you just loaded the tool onto a machine, Disco is not going to be useful - you need to create an end user layer, and business areas.

PowerShell - List all users that have access to a particular SPLIstItem

Hi there,
In PowerShell - how to list all users that have access to a particular SPLIstItem?
Thanks so much in advance.

Hi frob,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to list all users who have access to a particular SharePoint list item via PowerShell.
You can use the following PowerShell command:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://sp/sites/First
$list=$web.Lists["listV2"]
$item=$list.Items | where {$_['ID'] -eq 1}
$item | Select -ExpandProperty RoleAssignments |Select {$_.Member.DisplayName}, {$_.Member.LoginName}, RoleDefinitionBindings
In the above command, you need to change the web URL to your site's URL, change “listV2” to the name of your list, and change the ‘1’ to the ID of the list item.
The result looks like:

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights".
There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

How to sign out of all the devices that have my apple id

How to sign out of all the devices that have my apple id?

For example: on an iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap Delete Account.
"Deleting" the account is a bit of a misnomer because that action only deletes the account from the device. It can just as easily be added again. It is not possible for users to delete their iCloud account from Apple's records.
For a checklist of all the Apple products and services that use your Apple ID refer to this document.

Assigning View permission to all the users that have been selected in contact selector - SP 2010, InfoPath 2010

I have a SharePoint InfoPath 2010 browser form with item level security. Only submitter
and approvers has access to the form. This form contains a people picker that is populated with the names of attendees
for the meeting they attended (which
I am able to store in Field2 below). I want to allow attendees to be able to view (grant view permission) the InfoPath form. Field 2 has the users in form of domain\user1;domain\user2; etc. Following the below step, I am getting error when I ADD or REPLACE
permission on current item. How do I go about assigning view permission to all the users that have been selected in contact selector?
Jitu

Hi ,
i understand that the text box and the people picker hold multiple user names and you want to grant user permission based on the user in the text box.
I have a test based on your description,the results are: When there are multiple users in the text box, the workflow will throw an error'Error Occurred'.It is the same with the people picker column.
You need to limit the peopel picker to only allow to select one user,in this way the text box will only hold one user.Then you can use the people picker or the text box to grant user permission.
Thanks,

Portlet to display all users that have manager defined as currently displayed user profile

I need to create a portlet such that when a user finds a user's profile they see all of the users defined with manager set to the value of the profile user's employeeNumber.
Example:
(Think a directory of employees)
John searches and finds user named Jack. He sees Jack's name, phone number, address, etc in the General Information section. Then he also sees a section (Portlet) that lists all of Jack's direct reports. John clicks on one of Jack's direct reports (Sam), to find this person's phone number.
The Direct Reports portlet would be a search portlet that finds all of the users that have a mangerID property set to the value of Jack's employeeNumber property and displays them sorted by LastName.
I need some direction on where to start for this.
It seems like I need to use the Plumtree Server API in order to search for all of the user objects and sort them on a particular property, .e.g IPTObjectManager.Query Method (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, Object[][])
A crawler seems out because, I guess that would require creating a folder for every user in the system? If I create a single folder I would need a binary tree structure to the folder. (Has anybody done this?)
I am concerned about the performance related to performing this search each time a user examines a user's profile.
Can somebody direct me to an example of a search "Portlet"? All of the examples I see are of searching external information like Google, or use PRC (do not see how that would be implemented in a portlet), or use EDK (external and does not seem to be able to do this).

You don't need one workflow per user when a filtered view can do this for you. If the manager's list is the parent calendar, I'm assuming that he'll be at least using the person look-up column.
Whether this feeds through the MyCalendar or stays where it is, you can use the [Me] parameter within the filter on a new view. This will then return the assigned holiday filtering against the account that is logged in.
