Powershell Script to delete ADComputer Accounts

Hi There,
I have this script which deletes a computer account from AD if found but my problem now is it throws an error " Cannot find an object property " if the account doesnt exist. I read somewhere of using the try catch and others saying its not
advisable within a if else block.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
#Script to Delete Computer Accounts.
$CptName = Read-host "Which computer accounts do you want to delete"
#Get-Adcomputer $CptName
If ($cptName -eq $Null)
Write-Host " This accounts does not exist "
Else
Remove-ADComputer -Identity $CptName
Write-host "This computer accounts has been successfully deleted"

Thx for the help link.
Finally got it to work by using the try catch
Code is:
try
   $CptName = Read-host "Which computer accounts do you want to delete"
   Remove-ADComputer -Identity $CptName
   Write-host "This computer accounts has been successfully deleted"
catch
Write-Warning " This accounts does not exist "

PowerShell: Script to delete files older than X days

Hi All,
I am testing a script to delete files and I have it written down in my notepad as below:
$foldername = $args[0]
$maxage = $args[1]
gci $foldername | Where-object {($_-is [io.fileinfo]) -and ($_.lastwritetime -lt (get-date).AddDays(-$maxage) ) } |
remove-item -whatif
Question: When i try to run the script and pass the parameters $foldername and 30 it doesn't return anything. I am expecting it to return with -Whatif
To execute the script I wrote:
.\myscipts\del.ps1 cmd2 30
cmd2 is the name of the folder in my drive and 30 is ($maxage) number of days old.
Thank-you

PowerShell Script to Delete Files Based on Current Date

I know by using Get-Date PowerShell will look at the current date. I would like to make a very basic PS Script which will delete a file older than 8 days based on the current day. I believe using a if/then function will be necessary.
I am very new to scripting so Im not sure how the syntax is written. All help appreciated.

Yes, use -Recurse to get subfolders too:
$Folder = "C:\Users\Me\Backups"
Get-ChildItem -Path $Folder -Recurse |
Where { $_.LastWriteTime -lt [DateTime]::Today.AddDays(-8) } |
Sort LastWriteTime |
Remove-Item $_ -Force -Confirm:$false

Script to delete user accounts on mac

I am looking for a script that will delete user profiles on mac clients. Such as there home folders and any other clutter that is made when they logon. Since all users logon with there AD account and save to a servver. I am hopign to clean up stuff that's made on the client macs. all my labs are tiger except for one that is panther. Any one have a script that could be ran via ard or could be ran after the user logs off. My mac server that manages the labs is a leopard server. If that helps I just noticed if i delete folders under users on my panterh lab that users are able to logon other wise some times they seam to hang at logon.

I don't know if you will appreciate this answer or not, but have you considered upgrading to Leopard? Leopard has a guest account feature. The guest account is cleared of all user data and erased on logout, and then re-created fresh on the next login.

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.

Script to delete files created on a specific date with sepecific name

Hi,
Is it possible to help me with a powershell script that delete files under a folder and subfolders that have the following attributes
1. have the name (default.*) and (index.*)
2. created on a specific date say 1-9-2014
3. created between specific time say between 10:00 - 16:00
Thanks in advance!

break out the components of the script.
IE does this match
Get-ChildItem -Recurse c:\temp\*.*or Get-ChildItem -Recurse c:\temp\*.* | Where-Object {$_.CreationTime -gt (get-date "01-09-2014 10:00AM") -and $_.
CreationTime -lt (get-date "01-09-2014 14:00PM")}Get-ChildItem -Recurse c:\temp\*.* | Where-Object {$_.CreationTime -gt (get-date "01-09-2014 10:00AM") -and $_.
CreationTime -lt (get-date "01-09-2014 14:00PM")} | Where-Object {$_.name -match "default"}Might not be working as it might not be matching.Once you get it matching the remove-item will work.
Cheers,
Martin

A powershell script to export then delete exported items every month .

Hi all ..
We have an exchange 2013 server running on windows 2012 server .
I have a mailbox "MB1" hosted on a database with some other mailboxes .
I want to build a powershell script to export MB1 to a .PST file every month to a shared folder with the name of the month automatically , for example , \\fileserver\share1\November.pst
after export to PST , delete all messaged in MB1 , to be empty and ready for the next month .
please, if you have a script for this or KB or guide ... please reply me
Thanks alot .

The script you are asking is not available handy. It must be something that has to be written. Start Developing a a script and ping back for any assistance. To help you start of with your script you can include this.
1. New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox MailboxName -FilePath \\MBX-01\PSTFileShare\MailboxName.pst2. Next Step is to check if the ExportRequest was completed. You can use If Condition to check the same.If((Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics "MailboxName").Status -eq "Completed"){Search-Mailbox MailboxName -DeleteContent -Force}Once you get hold of the logic, you can schedule to run the script once in a month using Task Scheduler.

Powershell Script to change the default user Account picture for all users in windows 7 and 8

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

Problem with a package that calls powershell script

The long story short: I'm trying to schedule a SSIS package, with SQL Server Agent, that runs a powershell script/command via a proxy account. The problem seems to be that proxy account didn't have the required permissions to run a .ps1 script, so I've
changed the execution policy to "Unrestricted" of everything that could be changed (from ps command prompt):
Scope ExecutionPolicy
MachinePolicy Unrestricted
UserPolicy Unrestricted
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Unrestricted
LocalMachine Unrestricted
So far, so good! But when I try to execute the SSIS package that calls the powershell script like this:
powershell.exe -file D:\script.ps1 -FileName testme
I get the error:
AuthorizationManager check failed.
+ CategoryInfo : SecurityError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecord
Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess
And when I try something more simple like:
powershell.exe -Command &{Get-ExecutionPolicy}
I get this:
Get-ExecutionPolicy : Access denied At line:1 char:3
+ &{Get-ExecutionPolicy}
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-ExecutionPolicy], Managem
entException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Management.ManagementException,Microsoft.
PowerShell.Commands.GetExecutionPolicyCommand
It's worth mentioning that I can call the regular cmdlets: dir; get-content, whoami, so powershell.exe is working fine! Anyone with an idea what's going on here?

Check to make sure Windows Management Instrumentation service (WMI) is Enabled and running. If it’s disabled, try enabling it and starting it to see if that clears the error.
If all else fails, go to the path noted in the error and delete the PowerShell profile file.

Hi Ritehere,
I know this is simple but am beginner in Powershell Script so I was looking for logic to go through however the output you provided is not what i am looking for and your script is too complicated, as under timestamp i wanted display value and correspoding
to display value the OID name and then name value correspoding to that OID. May be u got it wrong.
Thanks anyways.

How can I setup a scheduled task to run a Powershell Script delivered as a Group Policy Preference

I have a Powershell script I want to run only once when a user logs onto their system. This script would move all the PST files from the Local drive and the Home drive to a folder location within the users profile. I wanted to run this as a Windows 7 Scheduled Task using Group Policy Preferences. How can I get this to happen short of a logon script? I have updated all the machines to WMF 4.0 so could I use a Scheduled Job instead? I wanted to run the script as the logon user but elevated.#Start Outlook and Disconnect attached PST files.
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$namespace = $outlook.getnamespace("MAPI")
$folder = $namespace.GetDefaultFolder("olFolderInbox")
$explorer = $folder.GetExplorer()
$explorer.Display()
$myArray= @()
$outlook.Session.Stores | where{ ($_.FilePath -like'*.PST') } | foreach{[array]$myArray+= $_.FilePath}
for
($x=0;$x-le$myArray.length-1;$x++)
$PSTPath= $myArray[$x]
$PST= $namespace.Stores | ?{$_.FilePath -like$PSTPath}
$PSTRoot= $PST.GetRootFolder() #Get Root Folder name of PST
$PSTFolder= $Namespace.Folders.Item($PSTRoot.Name) #Bind to PST for disconnection
$Namespace.GetType().InvokeMember('RemoveStore',[System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::InvokeMethod,$null,$Namespace,($PSTFolder)) #Disconnect .PST
#Move All PST files to the default location while deleting the PST files from their original location.
$SourceList = ("$env:SystemDrive", "$env:HOMEDRIVE")
$Destination = ("$env:USERPROFILE\MyOutlookFiles")
(Get-ChildItem -Path $SourceList -Recurse -Filter *.PST) | Move-Item -Destination $Destination
#Attach all PST files from the default location.
Add-type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" | out-null
$outlook = new-object -comobject outlook.application
$namespace = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
dir “$env:USERPROFILE\MyOutlookFiles\*.pst” | % { $namespace.AddStore($_.FullName) }

Mike,
I do not understand what appears to be a regular expression above. I did add the PowerShell script to the HKCU RunOnce Key as suggested.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -sta -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File "C:\scripts\Windows PowerShell\Move-PST.ps1"
I'm delivering this using Group Policy Preferences. It seems to fail or time out when run because the behavior is different if I run the script from within the PowerShell IDE. I added the parameters to the script and will try it again in the morning.

Trying to deploy a batch or powershell script unsuccessful

I've deployed a .cmd file out that contains a WMI script to uninstall all instances of an application called "VirtViewer". The script looks like this:
taskkill /F /IM remote-viewer.exe /T
wmic product where "name like 'VirtViewer%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
exit /B %EXIT_CODE%
Previously, I had used MSI product codes for the uninstall, and got the same result. My original problem, is that there are currently 9 different versions of this app out there, so i am ripping them all out and replacing with 1 version. Installing over an
old version does not overwrite the older one, it instead installs a new instance.
Reading through the execmgr.log on the client, everything looks as it should.
The end result, is that nothing happens. I had originally set the program to run as hidden, but then changed it to normal but still do not see it run. The application is right where i left it, untouched. If i run the script locally it works fine, but not
when deployed. Am i missing something??

I just tried using powershell to accomplish the same task, and got the same result. Script ran fine, but nothing resulted. 0 errors in the execmgr.log on the client.
Program options:
Command Line: Powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -file .\VirtUninstall.ps1
the powershell script looks like this:
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "VirtViewer*"}
$app.Uninstall()
exit /B
Again, the script runs great when launched locally, but not wehen deployed

PowerShell Script running Excel won't run on Windows Server 2008 R2

I have a script that creates a report of a single example of each warning or error in the Windows Event log, for each server in a list of servers,with the number of times that error has occurred in the last week on each server. It creates this report in
Excel. I have this script running automated through Task Scheduler for one client on Windows 7 and it's working perfectly. I have another client that I am attempting to run this script automated on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2. I can manually run
the script and everything works, but if I try to schedule the script everything works except for the Excel PowerShell commands. I've have tried:
Created the Desktop folders for config\systemprofile in System32 and in SysWOW64.
Configured permissions in DCOM for Microsoft Excel Application.
Configured folder permissions for config\systemprofile.
Verified PowerShell is working.
Unchecked the option in the task to only run while logged on.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks!
Sincerely,
Christopher Beard

You might have to launch the application once as the system account so that it can set up the Excel environment, I've had the same problem when trying to update Excel files from an admin Powershell console using my admin account. Use psexec with
a -s option to run it as system account locally while logged on to the target server:
psexec -s "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft office\office14\excel.exe"
Then you'll most likely be prompted to input initials - which is what I suspect is preventing your code from running properly.
There may be some other more elegant way to handle this, but you'd be better off asking that question in one of the forums devoted to Office products.
I hope this post has helped!
