Deleting users and their home drives

[colweb]

Did a search and didnt find any results, sorry if this has been posted before.

We are currently going through thousands of users and deleting accounts etc.

Does Hyena have a feature to delete the home drive too when deleting accounts? Just tested in 6.0 "D" and it didnt prompt me and the home drive was still there.

I think this would be a usefull feature, and possibly not too difficult to implement (considering Hyena will rename the Home drive if you rename the user).

Thanks.

You can do this individually by right-clicking and choosing Account Functions->Profile/Home Directory Admin. For multiple users you'll need to create a post user batch procedure to do this. There are some examples of this in the help file and on this board. Let us know if you have trouble figuring out how to set that up.

To get Hyena to automatically display the home directory management dialog when deleting users, go into Tools->Settings->User and enable the option "Show User Profile Manager when deleting users".

Not bad, thanks guys.

They want to delete like 2000 users, so we're having a dig on the batch thing.

Cheers!

Re: Deleting users and their home drives

The best thing to do is add this to your batch file:

REM echo 1=%1
REM echo 2=%2
REM echo 3=%3
REM echo 4=%4
REM echo 5=%5
REM echo 6=%6
REM echo 7=%7
REM echo 8=%8
REM echo 9=%9
pause

Then delete a test user, and the above will echo the values to the screen so you can see what they equate to.

Here is a sample that you can experiment with that uses the rmtshare.exe utility:

@echo on
if %1 == ADD goto ADD
if %1 == MODIFY goto MODIFY
if %1 == DEL goto DEL
goto END

EL
rmtshare \\%5\%6 /DELETE
rd \\%5\E$\users\%3
goto END

:ADD
goto END

:MODIFY
goto END

:END
