Move home directory when a user is deleted

[Guest Close Guest]

Hyena version : 6.5 enterprise edition

Hello,

Our organization doesn't delete the home directory immediatly when a user is deleted.
We move this home directory in another folder.

Is there a way to move automatically the home directory to another folder when a user is deleted or is there a way to launch a post job in hyena's interface (because we have a vbs to do this) when deleting a user?

Is this possible with the new hyena version 7?

Thanks fo your answers.

Re: Move home directory when a user is deleted

Go to Tools->Settings->User and at the bottom is a place where you can put the location of a batch file that will run on user adds, deletes, and modifications. The Help section of Hyena has an example on how this file should look.

Re: Move home directory when a user is deleted

Hello,

I've tried adding the path of the vbs in Tools->Settings->User but it doesn't help because it is launched each time we create,modify or delete a user.
But wwe only want it to be launched when a user is deleted for non admin users.

Is there a way to go get it launched only when a user is deleted?

Yes, call it from a batch file instead, and put the name of the batch file in settings. You can call it from the DEL section like this:

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

EL
your_script_goes_here
goto END

:ADD
goto END

:MODIFY
goto END

:END

Hi!

It's ok. It works like a charm.

We did create a bat file (with your contribution) which launches a vbs file to move the home directory of the user when it is deleted.

Thanks for all.
