H:CScript Changes the default scripting host to CScript.exe E:engine Use engine for executing script To run from the command line, use CSCRIPT.EXE which has a number of optional parameters as follows: //B Batch mode: Suppresses script errors and prompts from displaying
Normally, when you run a Windows Scripting Host file such as a Visual Basic or Java script, Explorer WSCRIPT.EXE is executed and runs the script using the necessary script plug-in. Thank you for your suggestions, I'd still love to find out if there is a way to remove the accounts programmatically, but for now I suppose we can consider this thread solved.A.
So now I have a number of Windows 10 systems with up to 3 local user accounts that have no access to any files or folders outside of the profile folder that has already been removed. Without Windows 10 throwing an access denied error the script ran as expected, deleting all other traces of the unwanted random local accounts. What I eventually did to get the script running in Windows 10 was remove the first section of code that dealt with deleting the local user accounts. About 50% of our user systems still run Windows 7, and the script I listed above smoothly and efficiently deleted the local user accounts (there were typically only a few per system even though there were sometimes hundreds of profile folders and registry entries to deal with), deleted the profile folders, and deleted the unwanted registry keys, and it did it all quietly in the background without the end user ever noticing what was going on. We eventually figured out what was creating all the user profiles - a patch management tool which was responsible for updating user systems, and I was the lucky guy that was tasked with the wonderful job of figuring out how to clean up the mess once we shut it down. Unfortunately Windows 10 is a lot more stubborn than Windows XP was, so creating a shortcut wasn't a viable option. 'for each user account in the array, check the first 7 characters for "ALS_SVC" and delete the account if it matches 'First we bind an object to the local computer account and create an array of the user accounts Set colFolders = objParentFolder.SubFolders Set objParentFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Users") Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputerName & "\root\cimv2") Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputerName & "") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:!\\" & strComputerName & "\root\default:StdRegProv") I have cobbled together the following code to search for and delete local user accounts that start with "ALS_SVC".Ĭonst StartKey = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList"
