Delete Profiles Script Windows 7

[FN-GM]

Hi,

I need a script to delete profiles from Windows 7.

I will need to delete the folders from C:\users and remove reg folders from:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

But i dont want to remove all of them for example the administrator one. The folder deleting one is fine but how would i get round this with the registry.

The folders are made up of long code (cant remember the name on top of my head) so its hard to identify what folder belongs to who.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

That would be a GUID?

your script would have to enumerate all sub keys under the profile list section and also enumerate each of the profileimage keys to establish which users are which and from there delete the relevant keys

Cant you use the GP setting? it seems to work quite well in my initial testing.

This is a VBScript I put together a while back. It works on XP, but hasn't been tested on Windows 7.

' Ignore any errors
On Error Resume Next

' define some constants
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Const STR_GUID_PATH = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid"
Const ROOT_PROFILE_PATH = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\"
Const SID_STRING = "SidString"

' some variables
strProfiles = ""

' Create a shell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 

' Open the Registry
Set objRegistry=GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")

' Extract the ProfileGUID entries from the registry returned in arrGUIDs
objRegistry.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, STR_GUID_PATH, arrGUIDs
 
' Process each of the entries in the ProfileGUID
For Each objSubkey In arrGUIDs

    ' Extract the SID from the GUID entry
	strRegPath = STR_GUID_PATH & "\" & objSubkey
    objRegistry.GetExpandedStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strRegPath, SID_STRING, sidString

	' Extract the profile path from the ProfileList sub tree in the registry relating to the current GUID / SID
	ProfileRegPath = ROOT_PROFILE_PATH & sidString
	RegKey = ProfileRegPath & "\ProfileImagePath"
	profilePath = WSHShell.RegRead (regkey)
	
	' Replace %systemdrive% with "c:"
	profilePath = replace(profilePath,"%SystemDrive%","C:")
	
	' Extract username from profilePath
	userName = Right(profilePath, len(profilePath)-InStrRev(profilePath,"\"))
	
	' Create an array containing all the extracted info
	strProfiles = strProfiles & Username & vbCrLf & "GUID: " & objSubkey & vbCrLf & "SID: " & sidString & vbCrLf & "Path: " & profilePath & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Next
Wscript.echo(strProfiles)

Not sure but tbh I dont think its needed as the GP setting is working well so far for us. Give it a go and post feedback.
