Need a Script for Removing User Profiles in Windows 7

I am in need of a script that will allow me to remotely delete user profiles from multiple computers. I am an IT Admin over around 15-20 computers that are publicly used by many different people each day, and at least once a month we have to go into each
computer individually..my computer, properties, profiles and delete them one by one. This is growing very tedious due to manpower and the number of computers we have to do this on.
I have absolutely zero knowledge in the scripting department so could somebody point me in the right direction on this? I would like to have a script that i can just run once a month or so and say "delete all profiles from computers x y and z that are
over a few months old." Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

OIA webservice for removing user role

Hi,
I need information regarding web services exposed in OIA for removing roles etc. We need it in our environment wherein we may not be having priviledge to make database query directly for removing user roles.
(the use case is as follows:
when user id disabled in OIM, assosciated database resource (DBAT, OIA database is used;rbx_users) is disabled ,and user's role is to be removed)
how this can be achieved via web-service call.
any pointers will be helpful

ITunes 12.1.2.7 works for one user profile and not another on the same PC

When using iTunes 12.1.2.27 with my user profile in Windows 7, it will run for about a minute before I get the message that iTunes has crashed and that Windows is searching for a solution. It never finds one, and the problem persists. I've tried doing a restart of the computer and uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Nothing works.
However, my wife has a separate user profile on the same computer. The same installation of iTunes that crashes with me works as it should when she uses it with her profile. What's going on, and how do I fix it?

Windows 7 very slow logon, Waiting for the User Profile Service, winlogon event 6006

Hello,
Every so often one of our Windows 7 clients which is not normally having any delay at logon will take a very long time to login. This may be 10 or 20 minutes or up to an hour in some cases.
Typically the event log will contain entries like
The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 572 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).
There is no further information available from Event Log Online Help, nor any additional detail as to why the logon event was so slow. During the delay the user will just see "Waiting for the User Profile Service" on their screen.
We first started seeing this problem with Windows Vista and if anything the situation has not improved since then. It has never happened with any of our Windows XP users.
We are currently planning a migration of computers to Windows 7 but stuff like this which has not been resolved in Windows over a 2 year period will stall that migration. The least improvement is to increase the event notification to give a lot more
information on why the user profile processing has stalled.

Hi,
When did the issue begin to occur? Did it occur after installing certain application or applying certain policy?
To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following step.
1. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking to check whether the system can login quicker.
2. Type “gpedit.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Navigate to the following location:
Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
Please double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon” policy and disable it.
3. Perform a
Clean Boot to check the result.
Thanks,

Win7 and Reader X - default settings for ALL users/profiles

I have a custom browser/app that opens PDF's within the app which can sometimes cause issues. I found that if I set Reader X to not open in the browser (Edit>Preferences>Internet - uncheck "Display PDF in Browser") that this does resolve most issues. My problem...when changed this only affects the current user/profile that's logged in. Potentially there can be dozens of users on these laptops. The other setting is when opening a PDF, I get the warning about Protected Mode not being able to be used due to the current configuration. I can select "Always open with Protected Mode disabled" and I no longer get the message; but again, current user/profile only.
Is there a way to set these settings for ALL users/profiles? Running Win7 (32bit) with Reader X.

I do not know why you experience this; what exactly happens when a non-admin users attempts to highlight something?
You are talking about highlighting in the same document?

"Please Wait For The User Profile Service" message when logging on to TS 2008

I have a Windows 2008 AD Domain with 2 Windows 2008 Terminal Servers. Both are configured identically. I have the TS Roaming profiles stored on a 3rd server and a GPO pointing all users to the roaming profiles. On one of the servers everything works perfectly. On the second server the users, after they input their credentials, get the following message "Please Wait For The User Profile Service". The message can stay there for up to 3 minutes, then they are logged innormall with the correct profile. This problem does not occur on log off. Any help would be appreciated

99% of the times I had this problem it was caused by either DNS issues or network bindings.
Are your servers multihomed? In other words: do you have multiple network cards? If so, make sure your "production" card is on top in the network connections -> advanced settings -> adapters and bindings.
You could also enable user env logging (search microsoft how to do that)

User profile in WINDOWS 8.1, 8, 7 redirected to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile

Hi all,
When you are logging into Windows 8.1,8 or 7 using your user credential you will finaly end up as system service account or at least your profile will be recognized this way. This mean that system is now looking in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
for DESKTOP, DOCUMENTS etc.
I faced this probem few times on diffrent PCs. This problem has been out there for some time and peapole are tring to copy their profile to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile. Sound no good for me.
Another way is to create new profile but it takes a lot of time and the problem sometimes comes back
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
I manage to find out that the issue has something to do with the change of the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXX is your user SID. The to REG_DWORD that are changed
FLAGS
REFCOUNT
After you change values to FLAGS 1 and REFCOUNT 0 you have to log out. Now log in and you profile should be back again.
I hope that this will save you some time and that microsoft will finaly fix whatever cause this issue.

Thanks for sharing and it will be very useful for the people who will come across the similar symptom in the future .

Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS

Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS. I'm getting "no audio output device is installed" error after trying various different drivers. Sometimes the driver will install and I'll reboot, but to no avail I end up with the same error and a red X over the speaker in the system tray. I've tried Realtek drivers and Conexant drivers from HP. When I run Windows upgrade advisor it recognizes the problem, but Microsoft doesn't offer a compatible driver. At this point I'm very desperate considering everything else works fine and I don't want to go back too XP Media Center. If there is anything you can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I guess this one isn't even 64 bit but it is the one on HP's site:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46818-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
I never tried to force a driver but I think it can be done. I seeing that in some threads.

Powershell script for removing some users from a particular Site Collection

Hi,
I am looking for a PowerShell script to delete a few users from a particular Site Collection. I am unable to delete them from/_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx page therefore need some other medium to
delete users from the site collection.
My ultimate aim is to have no user profile with "tp_deleted" field's value as 0 in the USERINFO table. Currently there are about 40 odd users with this field's value as 0 and this is affecting my crawling of this content database.

Thanks for the reply Alex & eHaze,
I have a content source of root site which crawls all the site collections under it. Out of the 9 site collections, only 8 are getting crawled and 1 doesn't get crawled at all. The error in the crawl logs is
The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when requesting data from the web service. ( Error from SharePoint site: Value does not fall within the expected range. )
I tried a lot of things, searched over the net and finally found
this which helped me solve the same issue in my development environment. I deleted these users from userInfo table and ran a full crawl. And the issue was fixed.
Now since I cannot delete the users from userInfo table directly from PROD environment, I used .../_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx list
to delete users from this site collection. While some of the users I could delete, quite a few I could not. Clicking on the profile redirected me to the home page rather than the info page of the profile.
This
is why I have to delete these users from the site collection.
Alex - the link you shared, I guess it is for a web application level.
eHaze - the script you shared throws this error:
Get-SPSite : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url: http://dev-apps/divisions/BT. At C:\PowerShell Scripts\DeleteUserFromSiteCollection1.ps1:4 char:19

hope this info helps.

Need a script to delete user files and run on logout.

Hi folks!
I'm a total Mac novice so forgive me if I'm vague on anything here. I work in a library and we have recently acquired an iMac running Mountain Lion. The unit is primarily for use by Visually Impaired users however sighted folks can use it as well.
What I need is something that will delete any files created/downloaded by the sighted users but that will not delete anyone else's files. I tried just using the Guest Account however that also deletes all the system preferences for that account including the dock setup which I need to stay the same.
If possible I would like this to run on logout.
For additional points anyone who can also find me something that will run automatically when the users sign in and will sign them out after 30 minutes would super spectacularly awesome.
Thanks people!

That being said, if you you still really want to do this you can create a logout hook and write a shell script to remove the files. See "About Daemons and Services", Appendix B on writing a logout hook.
But a far easier way is to create Account's login item that will cause a shell script to be launched to delete the files. You can encapsulate the shell script so it runs as an application that can be added to the Login Items. One such encapsulator is Platypus.
Note, rather than delete them, if you want to ensure all the specific plists have specific settings, then create a master set of them and copy the master set into the Preferences directory (being careful to observe ownership and permissions settings of course).

Restrict data for a user profile

Hi,
I've made a jsp application where i implemented a users profiles for the screens, so i defined that user x can access to the jsp y in insert mode but can't access in remove mode.
But now i need to implement a second profile that restrict the data that the user can see, like a Portuguese user can only see Portuguese citys and i don't know what is the best way of doing this, i'm using a BC4J.
Any ideias
thanks in advanced
rjc

Hi,
Not exactly sure the exact details of what you are trying to achieve, but when the user logs in you can create a session variable that can be retrieved during the user's session. You implement this by using:
session.setAttribute(String attrname, String attr)
Then you can retrieve the attribute at a later time. So on your jsp page (I'm not sure of your table structure) you can do something similar to this:
<%String whereclause = "Country=" + session.getAttribute("Country");%>
<jbo:ViewObject id="CityView" whereclause="<%=whereclause%>">
Hope this helps....

Here's a simple perl script that should help you get what it is you're looking for - you can add all the parameters you want to search for, I just took a few of them:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use sapnwrfc;
SAPNW::Rfc->load_config;
my $rfc = SAPNW::Rfc->rfc_connect;
my @parms = (   "login/min_password_lng",
          "login/password_expiration_time",
          "login/fails_to_session_end",
          "login/fails_to_user_lock" );
for my $x (0 .. $#parms) {
     my $rcc = $rfc->function_lookup("SXPG_PROFILE_PARAMETER_GET");
     my $slr = $rcc->create_function_call;
     $slr->PARAMETER_NAME($parms[$x]);
     $slr->invoke;
     print "Value for $parms[$x] is: ".$slr->PARAMETER_VALUE."\n";
$rfc->disconnect();
And running it, you'll get:
[dhull@397 scripts]$ ./read-profile.pl
Value for login/min_password_lng is: 7
Value for login/password_expiration_time is: 90
Value for login/fails_to_session_end is: 3
Value for login/fails_to_user_lock is: 6
[dhull@397 scripts]$
If you need to get your perl environment read to make RFC calls to your SAP system, check my series of blogs on how to do so here:
