Deleting Users

[enjay]

Back in the days when we had RM CC3, deleting users was as simple as opening the Management Console, highlighting the user and clicking "Delete" - now we've gone vanilla, it seems I need to go to ADUC, the directory which contains the profiles and the one which contains the document folders, deleting them from each one in turn. Is there any easier way to delete users?

Remove from AD and make a script to remove/make any [un]needed folders?

are we talking about deleting single users or whole year groups once they've left?

 

By default there isn't an easier way, you could probably script it though.

 

I generally setup networks to have user profiles and documents folders organised into intakes labeled with their absolute latest leaving year so that once they leave its just a case of deleting the parent folder. I usually also setup accounts to expire at some point during the summer hols in the year they are due to leave

Both, although it is the individual users that are most time-consuming, since year groups are all held within the same parent folder anyway.
