Hello,  I am happy to announce that v1.9 of the Delete Profiles script is ready for release.   Two new features have been added since v1.8.

New Features:

Inclusion\Exclusion List with wildcard support
Delete Profiles based off of Profile age

By default,  Microsoft disables the ability to execute PowerShell scripts out of the box.  Normally, one would need to manually change this policy to 'Unrestricted' before he or she is able to run scripts.

I was poking around the Microsoft site today and came across this cool little page that discusses converting VBScript commands to PowerShell commands .  All was going well until I clicked on the InStrRev command and found this ignorant comment, “To the best of our knowledge, no Scripting Guy has ever used the InStrRev command. (Or, if they have, they won’t admit it.)” and then following up with a “We don’t blame you. But here’s an example.”

Wow!  I received and a lot of positive feedback on the initial release of the DeleteProfiles.vbs scripts and based on that feedback, I have a new version to share.

New Features:

CLI switch parser
Ability to run the script in Read Only mode
Console switch to output Log to the console screen
No longer forces a Log File to be created if one is not chosen
Three levels of logging (none, basic and verbose)

Here are some features that I am working for a future release:

Run script against remote machine
Alternate credentials for running script against a remote machine
Inclusion\Exclusion List with wildcard support
Delete Profiles based off of Profile age
Better error handling

The Delete Profiles Script has been updated to v1.8  

Here is a script that I wrote a really long time ago to replace DELPROF.EXE as DELPROF.EXE was a pain automate and it didn't have the flexibility I wanted.  The script works great on a Windows 2003 platform and already includes the Presentation Server 4.5 service accounts in the exclusion list.
