Troubleshooting the profile problem

[MSD07]

hi i need some powershell commands to perform these tasks
1) Retrieving the list of all servers logged in by user
2) Deleting the corrupted profile folders and registries in all the servers

I assume you mean logged on to the guest OS running on a VM ?

yes i need to login and identify the all the list of all servers logged in by user and delete the corrupted profile folders and registries in all the servers

Ok, that means you have to interact with the OS running inside the VM.

There are many ways to do this;

• through the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet, but that has a limited set of OS versions on which it is supported
• via the WMI interface, provided remote WMI connectivity is enabled
• with PowerShell remoting, but that requires WinRM to be set up inside the guest OS

Once you can get something running inside the guest OS, and I skip the WMI method for now, you can use some of the available PowerShell scripts available on the different blogs.

• to find a user profile, have a look at Use PowerShell to Find User Profiles on a Computer
• to remove a specific user profile have a look at Delete User Profile if not a Member of a Group. In your case you don't want to test on group membership, but look for a specific user.

And if you want to use the WMI method, have a look at Use PowerShell to remove local profiles

I hope this will set you on the right path
