So Im trying to use the Delprof2 tool to remove old user profiles from our client PC's but the profiles are not being fully removed, I have narrowed this down to Avast storing cache and log files in the user profile (\AppData\Roaming\AVAST Software) is there anyway to stop avast storing files in there? If I disable the self defence module it will then let me delete the profile but that seems to be the only way and obviously would rather I leave it enabled. Am using the latest Avast for Business clients btw. Thanks for any help.

I did try that one but does not work on Windows 10 unfortunately. Great thanks everyone for their replies, will try delprof 2!

Wow that is crazy! Would have thought Microsoft would have fixed it by now but then again, who am I kidding Would you mind sharing what script you use to clear your profiles please?

Yeah might give it a go! Have had that enabled for a couple of weeks but for whatever reason, group policy does not work in deleting user profiles, I havent actually heard of anyone successfully even use it.

Looking for a script to delete user profiles which works on both Windows 7 and 10, I found the below on another forum but doesnt seem to work. I would like to use WMI though and specify days old if possible. Get-WMIObject -class Win32_UserProfile | Where {(!$_.Special) -and ($_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastUseTime) -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-5))} | Remove-WmiObject Thanks for any help

Great thanks for your help, will definately look at doing this.

Thanks for the suggestion about this on demand feature, I like the sound of this, I guess its manageable via group policy with each users 365 account? We do have plans to move to Windows 10 and Server 2016 most likely this summer so would be a good oppertunity to use it then. Also it requires Azure AD passthrough? Can it use another form of SSO sync service? As we have a third party managing our tenancy which syncs our users and groups up so could this work?

We're not running Windows 10, but 7. Have tried but cant get the mapper to work and yes I did edit the script for our tenant AJWhite.

Tried it but it doesnt work, at least not for me. Even if i manually specify the username and password it fails to map the drive with "Failed to force sign in persistence" and that it cannot detect my username even though I've specified it.

Thanks Andrew I shall give that a look!

Hello, Im Trying to map our users Office 365 OneDrive accounts to appear as a network drive on the client pc's using group policy, I have done it myself manually which works but includes signing into the account via Internet Explorer to authenticate. Has anyone done this via group policy? If you have and wouldn't mind sharing how, it would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guys, got it working by editing the script as it was essentially incorrect for being in a package.

I have tried this but it still fails with an Incorrect function error, heres a screenshot:

I'm trying to get SCCM to reference a script in a shared folder to be used in a task sequence but it is failing with "access is denied", what account does SCCM use during the task sequence? Is it not the account I use to login and manage SCCM? Does the SYSTEM account need adding to the shared permissions of the folder? If I add everyone as full access in advanced sharing it works fine, but I dont want everyone to have full access. Thanks

Just tried it again with smscachesize set in installation properties but its still not changing it and saying cache is full, do i need to specify any other parameters Steve? EDIT: Think I found the answer https://weikingteh.wordpress.com/2015/03/10/setting-the-smscachesize-during-osd-task-sequence-powershell/

Great many thanks Steve! I'll give it a go.

Right I was doing it from the client settings in config mgr, see below: So I need to add it in to the task sequence before the app installs as a command line?

Ok am having another issue with an app further down, it appears the cache is full so wont download it. I did increase the cache size in client settings to 20GB but it doesn't seemed to have applied, as you can see in the log below it starts at its default of 5GB but then after the app has failed it then increases to 20GB, do you know why it isnt set from the start? Tbh I think this was my problem before and is my only problem, the app is adobe design standard so is over 4.5gb itself which was why netbeans was working when it was installed above adobe. You've been a great help so far Steve and really appreciate it but do you have any ideas? Here are the logs as screenshots:

Just to report back, I added in a restart just before where Netbeans previously failed and it worked! It then installed with no complaints, so I'm now going down the list and will try for the rest of the software. See below for what my task sequence now looks like

Right I see, yeah I suppose they could well be affecting the Netbeans installation, some of the other programs are visual C++ redists, flash player, adobe air etc I will add a restart in and give it another test! Might not be able to reply until tomorrow now whether it works or not as it takes 1.5hour+ to test each deployment.

Yeah exactly that Steve, it fails when installing say 5 or more. Ok just tried moving Netbeans to install STRAIGHT after the JDK (which is a dependency) and it installs successfully along with the other 10 programs but when it was further down the order it would fail, why would it do that? I'm quite a logical thinker and need to understand why these things happen otherwise it annoys me. Thats the only thing I just changed, good idea with the restart step but I haven't added that in? I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of this as I have 62 programs in total to add to this install step.

Having another problem with installing apps with SCCM, particularly with the "Install Applications" stage during a task sequence OSD. I am trying to deploy NetBeans and its Java Development kit, the Java DK installs no problem and then NetBeans installs after no problem BUT when I then add in the rest of the apps I want to install into the "Install Applications" stage, during OSD NetBeans then fails to install when it reaches it. I don't think its just a specific NetBeans issue as other apps fail to install as well but install fine when they are by themselves in a task sequence deployment. Is there any logical reason why this could be happening? because I cant think of any All the applications I added into SCCM have been tested as a deployment to ensure they can install silently without error. Does install order matter in the list of apps in that step? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestion Tefters, I may give this method a go sometime just so I'm familiar with it.

Steve just tried my one again but with the "Run installation and uninstall program as 32-bit process on 64-bit clients" ticked under "Programs" and it worked!! The version I have must be 32bit and was trying to run as 64 I guess?? Perhaps that was why it was showing as 32bit in task manager? Edit just checked and it is a 64bit version of GIMP, but the installer runs as 32bit so that must have been why and why that box needed checking I guess. Thanks for your help steve and everyone else that replied!

Thanks for confirming, well I'm at a loss now don't know what else to try. It looks like your using an older version, I might try that and see if it makes a difference.
