[VBScript] I'm looking for a script that will delete a User Profile remoltely
- Hello.
I have a problem going on in my site. We had a virus outbreak, and it put the profile "cypscanner2" on every PC in my site. I got the virus removed from the original PC with the real user profile "cypscanner2" but now I need to remove the user profile "cypscanner2" from all of the other PCs in my site. So my question is, is there a VBscript I can run remotely to remove "cypscanner2" from 'C:\Documents and Settings"? I have virtually 0 scripting expierence so any and all help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Should be as simple as:
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFolder "C:\Documents and Settings\cypscanner2", True
Or remotely:Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFolder "\\ServerName\C$\Documents and Settings\cypscanner2", True- Hi Nick,
Using the FileSystemObject object to delete a folder will delete the profile directory, but it won't delete its associated registry path:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\user's SID
There are also two other complications: 1. you can't delete a profile for a user that's logged on; and 2. the user might have logged off, but the profile might not be completely unloaded (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837115 ).
In the meantime, I recommend 'uphclean' and the 'delprof.exe' found in the Resource Kit utilities.
HTH,
Bill - Thanks for adding onto my post Bill. It was late when I posted it and didn't get into much detail. I agree, both apps are good for profile cleaning, although Zenfury only mentioned cleaning it from the %Userprofile% path.
