Deleting Users Home Directories

[Guest]

Hi, Long time user first time poster.

I want to be able to automagically delete the users home directory and share. I have the share figured out, but the home dir escapes me. Here is a copy of my batch file and I will explain the problem:
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
@echo on
if %1 == ADD goto ADD
if %1 == MODIFY goto MODIFY
if %1 == DEL goto DEL
goto END

EL
c:\rmtshare \\%5\%6 /DELETE
rmdir /s /q %7
goto END

:ADD
goto END

:MODIFY
goto END

:END
pause

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The Problem is i need to be able to go to
%servername%\d$\pathtohomedirs\homedir

I can use \\%5\this part I cant figure out\%3

Help says use %7 for home dir path but when I add a pause to the CL I see that it shows \\servername\none.

Any suggestions would be great.

Version is 3.0K
Thanks

Re: Deleting Users Home Directories

Further to my last:

I have about 10 servers that have home drives and different organizations have differnet paths to the home dir

eg.

\\server1\d$\groupa\userdata\homedir
\\server1\d$\groupb\usersdata\homedir
\\server2\d$\groupc\userdata\homedir


hope this helps more

Re: Deleting Users Home Directories

The easiest way to troubleshoot this is to echo the variables so you can see what each one is:

echo 1 = %1
echo 2 = %2
echo 3 = %3
echo 4 = %4
echo 5 = %5
echo 6 = %6

Put in a pause in your batch file and then delete a test user. When the window comes up it should pause so you can see what each of the variables actually translates to.

Re: Deleting Users Home Directories

Thx for the advice but it isn't much help

I need to get the actuall path to the home dir ie
\\serverX\d$\groupA\userdata\test.t$

Is this possible.
below is what the help file says about them, I need an explanation on %7

%1 = Action. This value will be set to ADD for additions, DEL for deletions, MOD for a single user modification and MODS for multi-user modifications.
%2 = Server
%3 = Username
%4 = Home Directory
%5 = Home Directory Server
%6 = Home Directory Share
%7 = Home Directory Path
%8 = Old (Former) Home Directory
%9 = Date and Time


Note %7 if this works then my script would work

Any suggestions.

Here is the output...I modified servernames

C:\WINNT\system32>echo 1 = DEL
1 = DEL
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 2 = \\pdc
2 = \\pdc
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 3 = test.t
3 = test.t
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 4 = \\serverX\test.t$
4 = \\serverX\test.t$
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 5 = serverX
5 = serverX
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 6 = test.t$
6 = test.t$
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 7 = NONE
7 = NONE
C:\WINNT\system32>echo 8 = \\serverX\test.t$
8 = \\serverX\test.t$
