Windows 10 Delete User Profiles Older Than 60 Days
Hi. I am working on trying to automate cleaning up local user profiles on some machines that after awhile run into HDD space issues. I've been working on a script below for this, but I cannot get it to work quite right. I want to leave any profile that does not have a creation date older than 30 days. But it still deletes all profiles in the C:\Users folder. It doesn't seem to recognize the CreationTime on the profile, even though I can visually verify the date is within 30 days. $Results = Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_UserProfile | Where-Object { $_.CreationTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) -and $_.Name -ne "Public" -and $_.Name -ne "defaultuser0" -and $_.LocalPath -like "C:\Users\*"} Foreach ($Temp in $Results) { $temp | Remove-CimInstance Remove-Item -Path $temp.localpath -Recurse -force }
GUI form front-end for Powershell
Looking for a (free?) GUI form frontend for scripts that I want to distribute to users. Basically, I want to gather three or four data points.... such as first name, lastname, domain name, and country in a GUI form, which then passes these to parameters or variables in the Powershell script. As a bonus it would be great to be able to display results within the form, such as a message, "successfully submitted" or the like. Shouldn't a PowerApp or another technology within Office 365 be able to do this? Thanks. --- Larry

Cannot dot-source this command because it was defined in a different language mode.
Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1: Cannot dot-source this command because it was defined in a different language mode. To invoke this command without importing its contents, omit the '.' operator. I am getting this error when I open my PowerShell anywhere... I have few scripts present in my PS Profile, but this is failing with error, and I can't import, its blocking me to even set a property. $Host.Name = 'Test' InvalidOperation: Cannot set property. Property setting is supported only on core types in this language mode. Can someone please help me to get rid of this issue. Thanks!
PowerShell script and Window Focus
I have a script that worked under Windows 10 1903. It does not work under Windows 10 1909. I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on what is happening and maybe suggest a workaround. I'm using Zoom for online classes and found that if I get busy working in another window and get asked a question, it normally takes a few seconds to find the proper Zoom window so I can unmute my microphone and answer. I came up with a solution to use an application called Touch Portal which allows me to run a script that brings the proper Zoom window into focus by simply pressing a button in the Touch Portal interface. This worked well in Windows 10 1903. However, in 1909 the Zoom icon in the taskbar simply starts flashing and does not bring the window into focus. I have confirmed that the script does work in a PowerShell console in 1909; it just doesn't fully work when pressing the Touch Portal button. I have included the script below. I'm assuming the change occurred to prevent rogue applications from stealing window focus. Just hoping there is some kind of work around to allow it to work again. (The bulk of the script came from here.) #requires -Version 2 function Show-Process($Process, [Switch]$Maximize) { $sig = ' [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow); [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd); ' if ($Maximize) { $Mode = 3 } else { $Mode = 4 } $type = Add-Type -MemberDefinition $sig -Name WindowAPI -PassThru $hwnd = $process.MainWindowHandle $null = $type::ShowWindowAsync($hwnd, $Mode) $null = $type::SetForegroundWindow($hwnd) } $ZoomTime = Get-Process Zoom | select id, starttime If ($ZoomTime[0].starttime -gt $ZoomTime[1].starttime) { $ZoomPID = $ZoomTime[0].id } else { $ZoomPID = $ZoomTime[1].id } Show-Process -Process (Get-Process -ID $ZoomPID)
