Wanted: VBScript to delete folders from C:

[timbo343]

Im in need of a script that will delete folders from C:

Now i can do it if the user has got permissions to access the C: but i need a way to run the script as an administrator so the folder will be deleted as users here cannot alter C:

It is to delete local profiles of users when they log off. So i know that somewhere in the script needs to be c:\documents and settings\%username%

 

Can someone help?

Can you not run it as a startup script?

That would be the easiest way I think.

Can this not be done with Active Directory? Failing that, a startup/shutdown script sounds like it will do the biz.

With a startup/shutdown script, dont all the computers have to be in that particular group?

Are they not in the same OU?

You could create a Policy linked to that OU and bob's your uncle!

I'd certainly make sure that all "standard" workstations are under a top level OU - eg we have one called "allPCs"; that has sub-ous for each site then further OUs for each room.

 

It means a policy can be attached to allpcs which applies to ... All PCs :-)

 

Alternatively, link it at the domain level and make it check for servers (say) and exclude them (easy if your servers have a standard naming convention otherwise you can use WMI to find the software type and use that to exclude servers)
