Deleting Local Accounts

[Guest Close Guest]

Is there a way to delete multiple local accounts on a number of specified servers in a particular domain in an automated fashion using Hyena?

Not built-in there isn't. If you can find a command line utility to do the deletion, you can create a Custom Tool in Hyena to run it. This would allow you to select your computers in the right window, right-click and run the tool you create.

I can create a batch file "net user /delete username" that will delete username on the local server. How can I use this batc file to do multiple deletions on specified servers? Thanks

Create a Custom Tool under Tools->Settings->Tools. There is help on this in the help file, but if you can't get it going post back and we'll see if we can help.

I created the tool and gave it a location of the batch, with a server in the right pane highlighted, click thr tool I created, a command window pops up and closes, but the account was not deleted.

Looks like the command is running on my local wkstn, not on the highlighted server. How can this command run on the server?
Thanks

Do a search on this board for psexec. It is a free utility that will allow you to run programs remotely. See if it will work in this case.
