Delete User Profiles and backup User Folder

[LeightonJames]

Hi all

 

I am revisiting an old experiment I was working on. Where I work we don't delete the User Profile folders, instead we move them to a folder on the Local Machine. I have managed to find a vbs which iterates through the registry and removes entries matching a specified regex query.

 

The script in question is this one:

 

http://automatones.net/programs/vbs/WindowsHelpScripts/deleteProfile.vbs

 

It works great however it deletes the user's folder but I cannot workout how to modify the script to match my requirements.

 

Instead of deleting the folders we want to move them to C:\Users\OP

 

If this folder doesn't exist it will be created before the script is run.

 

Anyone able to help me identify how to make the changes?

 

Thanks

could you amend this script we use?

@echo off

goto MAINMENU

 

:: PLEASE NOTE: This code was created by another user online, and has been edited to allow for additional control over which profiles should be deleted

:: and which ones should be preserved always. The main body of the script is a quite complex system, and as such, I cannot adequately comment on each line.

:: Therefore any changes that have been made by myself, I will explain.

 

:MAINMENU

:: Echoes out the menu numbers for the user to navigate from.

cls

echo.

Possibly, should have mentioned though that we only want to delete the network profiles off the machine hence the reason for regex query.

This is the first part of the SID that we need to match, all our Network profiles start with this SID, local profiles are excluded from the delete routine automatically
